GMI Consulting Programs

Expert Live Guidance for GMI Certification Success

Leverage our 40+ years of industry experience (including RIT-trained expertise and proven G7/BrandQ credentials) to prepare your printing facility for GMI certification and compliance. These live consulting programs provide personalized, real-time support to help you navigate the process with confidence.

Important: GMI certification is granted solely by SGS & Co. (owner and manager of the Graphic Measures International program) after their independent review and approval. Our programs are pre-certification support services designed to maximize your chances of success.
