Direct Mail Magazine Publications

AmMax Publications, based out of New Orleans, Louisiana, offers magazine publishers the opportunity to maximize their profits through our printing program.  While our main business is direct mail coupon magazines, we are a national leader in creating innovative products to improve our publisher's (and their customer's) R.O.I.   We believe our magazine program is the best in the nation and new products like our patented magnet cards and electronic magazine (e-mag) programs continue to keep us in front.

^{On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed our office building and closed 22 company and publisher magazines in the Louisiana and Mississippi costal areas, disrupting the lives of associates, employees and customers. We're proud that a little over two years later, we've completely rebuilt the business with added products, publishers and an enhanced printing program that's even better than before.  We owe a debt of gratitude to our publishers, suppliers and friends nationwide who offered their support and loyalty during our recovery.}
