Case Study: Education Sector – Secure Print and Distribution
Background
For the past 14 years Blue Star DIRECT has managed the printing and distribution of examination results for a major education authority. Our client is a statutory authority primarily responsible for the curriculum, standards and assessment of compulsory and post-compulsory education.
Like most educational sectors, our client is responsible for the reporting of results for students undertaking examinations. The results are printed and distributed in December each year and the printing is of a secure nature with the various base stocks having built in security features to ensure copies are not being reproduced.
The distribution of these Results are in lots, some going directly to educational institutions as well as International schools via Australia Post e-Parcel service with student results mailed via Australia Post priority mail.
The Challenge
Security is paramount for our clients and so the end to end process, from data receipt to distribution needs to be entirely secure and delivered within a strict non-negotiable timetable. Along with this, all work environments including staff must adhere to and sign statutory declarations and staff with friends or relative undertaking examinations are prohibited to work on the project.
The Solution
Blue Star DIRECT tightly manage this assignment by appointing a dedicated Project Manager who ensures our clients goods are 100% secure and is undertaken in-house in a stand-alone environment with only authorised staff having access to each project.
The Results:
For almost 15 years, Blue Star DIRECT has seamlessly and securely managed the printing and delivery of over 7.5 million statements and all being lodged within 24 hours of receiving final examination data.

We would recommend Blue Star DIRECT to businesses looking to work with a team of dedicated professionals who understand what your needs are and how to translate that understanding into the deliverables you desire. Blue Star DIRECT offer a consultative relationship over a vendor-customer based model and provide expertise in alternative solutions that you may not have thought of (you don’t know what you don’t know).
During a high profile crisis response project involving a global brand, the logistical challenges of communicating with customers became apparent during a fast-paced, uncertain environment and legally sensitive corporate crisis. We engaged Blue Star DIRECT to assist in a rapid response campaign that involved printing, collating and sending high-quality communications and fragile packages to customers. Their professionalism in managing this difficult project was second-to-none.
We have worked with Blue Star DIRECT for many years across a wide range of mailings; from stylised campaign DMs to BAU communications. What really makes them stand out is the level of service they provide and their advanced knowledge of data. The people genuinely care about their clients and the quality of work, and they’re always responsive and highly professional. Our data is complex; requiring sophisticated programming and Blue Star DIRECT have been consistent in providing clear and accurate DM communications for our donors/customers.
I have always found Blue Star DIRECT staff helpful and very efficient. Having several thousand files on site with Blue Star DIRECT means that in emergency situations it necessitates a request for file to be scanned urgently. They respond quickly and regularly exceed my expectations. Similarly whenever we query any scanned documents they are very responsive to investigate and provide us answers and or solutions. I can recommend their services and would be more than happy to talk to any prospective clients.
The Examinations team had a very positive experience working with Blue Star DIRECT. The customer service provided and knowledge of printing was of a very high standard. I personally enjoyed working with the Blue Star DIRECT team. I would recommend Blue Star DIRECT to other universities if they were to approach you for examination printing.
