GPO Produces Materials for President Trump’s Inauguration


WASHINGTON —The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) worked with the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC) to produce printed materials for the 60th Presidential Inauguration. GPO teammates designed, produced, and procured materials over the course of the last year to support the JCCIC. GPO’s role with Inaugurations dates to at least 1913.

GPO used secure design and printing techniques to produce more than 220,000 color-coded tickets and more than 17,000 secure access credentials for the President’s Inauguration.

“GPO is proud to save the American taxpayer money and create jobs through its partnerships with the private sector printing industry,” said GPO Director Hugh Nathanial Halpern. “Through our print procurement program, we can meet the needs of Federal agency customers in a timely manner and ensure we are providing a first-rate customer service experience.”

Studies by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Joint Committee on Printing have shown that the most cost-effective use of Federal agency printing dollars is through GPO's partnership with the private sector printing and information product industry. Federal agencies realize significant savings by using GPO, as compared to printing products themselves. In addition, when agencies use GPO, their information products are made available to the public through GPO's Federal Depository Library and Publications and Information Sales programs.

Materials include the following:

  • Tickets
  • Invitations
  • Stationery
  • Program packet kits
  • Parking passes
  • Maps
  • Signage
  • Secure access credentials

“The production of these materials is the result of a year-long team effort from GPO’s procurement operation, printing production, secure credential, and design teams,” said GPO Director Hugh Nathanial Halpern. “Many attendees will hold on to these materials as historical reminders of President Trump’s inauguration. I congratulate all our teammates who helped produce these items and thank the JCCIC for allowing GPO to be a part of the process once again.”

GPO has a long history of contributing to the security of the Nation by producing the U.S. passport for the Department of State and border crossing cards for the Department of Homeland Security. Producing secure documents for the President’s inauguration is an extension of GPO serving as a provider of secure credentials for the Federal Government.

GPO is the Federal Government’s resource for publishing trusted information for the Federal Government to the American people. The GPO is responsible for the production and distribution of information products and services for all three branches of the Federal Government, including U.S. passports for the Department of State as well as the official publications of Congress, the White House, and other Federal agencies in digital and print formats. GPO provides for permanent public access to Federal Government information at no charge through www.GovInfo.gov and partnerships with approximately 1,100 libraries nationwide participating in the Federal Depository Library Program.
