FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 2004

Business Cards Tomorrow, Inc., a Florida Corporation ("BCT") and subsidiary of BCT International, Inc., announced today that through 2003, the company's network of 83 plants located throughout North America have processed over 1.6 million orderprinting.com(TM) orders.

Business Cards Tomorrow (BCT) introduced orderprinting.com(TM) in January 1999. BCT plants can place a distributor's customer's business card and stationery templates online, so that customers no longer have to deal with the work typically associated with stationery ordering.

"On an average day, our plants receive over 2,700 orders via orderprinting.com(TM). We are also adding approximately 10-15 new accounts on the site per business day," according to Peter Posk, the company's Sr. Vice President. "Distributors have embraced our solution above others for several reasons - first and most important, our solution works, second, because templates are created at each plant, we can get a site up faster than anyone in the industry, and third, with our decentralized production across North America we can ship most all orders next day at ground rates. We are also wholesale only. It would be a conflict to be wholesale and also sell direct - distributors trust us and we have a 28 year old reputation to protect," says Posk.

The company's President and Co-founder, Hank Johnson says, "For twenty-eight years we have been the dominant supplier of business cards and stationery to the retail trade. We help these retailers generate gross margin dollars on products their customers want, but do not produce in-house. Five years ago, we began servicing distributors serving corporate America. Today, our orderprinting.com(TM) business is growing at over 20% and represents 15% of our total business. Distributors have put over 15,000 of their customers on orderprinting.com(TM), so something must be right."
