Our Story
Publishers Storage and Shipping was established in 1974 to provide end-to-end warehousing and shipping services for publishers. With a deep knowledge of the industry, over 200,000 square feet of warehouse space, modern technology and a team of experts, PSSC is designed to meet the unique needs of the publishing industry. PSSC has established warehouses in Massachusetts and Michigan.
Books Shipped Annually
We currently serve over 350 publishers of varying size and sophistication—ranging from single title self-publishers, to publishers with thousands of SKUs. At any given time, we house over 12,000,000 units in storage, representing 100,000 SKUs and ship over 15,000,000 books each year. Along with the storage and shipping of books, we also perform set assemblies, kitting, barcoding, and shrink wrapping for many of our customers.
We believe the key to our continuing success is a long-term commitment to serving the needs of our publishing clients. Flexibility, responsiveness and integrity have ensured a longstanding and stable customer base. We give conscientious and prompt service to all of our clients, regardless of size or amount of business.

Our buildings are efficient steel and masonry structures located for easy access to major highways and all carriers—they’re well lit, climate controlled, and have sprinkler systems installed.
