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.
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. For more information, please visit
