Copy Center - New Heinrich Order Site

We are happy to inform you that the copy center has rolled out a new Heinrich envelope ordering site. Use this new site to order all PERSONALIZED envelopes (order generic envelopes through the Copy/Print AROWorks site where you order copy jobs).

Upon your first login you will be required to register a new account for yourself. To make it easy, you may choose your same Augsburg credentials, but it is not a single sign-on site so you will have to remember how you registered. The old shared login and password will no longer work.

Here is the link to the new site, but it will also be on the On-Line ordering page of the Central Services website, where you have always found it. On the central services site you will also find a user guide.

http://augsburg.heinrichenvelope.com/login?ReturnUrl=%2f

We hope you will find the new site easier to use, and do not hesitate to contact the copy center with any questions.
