| Over
the years we have been asked by our customers to provide products
that are either unusual or non-existent. Several examples are:
A large appliance manufacturer,
who also services their products, needed something to put
on the customer’s counter tops to protect them while
the serviceperson was working. We came up with a 24”
x 36” mat composed of a vinyl top and a soft felt lining.
The mat was silk screened in red with the company logo and
the words “WE CARE”. We’ve gotten repeat
orders from this company several times and recently fulfilled
an order for 150 of these.
We have also designed and produced
the same product for other service companies.
In the 1980s, a southern California
real estate development company was marketing its property
as time shares. They needed a way to speed up the sales process.
There were fourteen multi-part, snap-out forms needed to close
the sale. At the time they were filling out these forms manually.
We developed a way to attach all fourteen forms to a continuous
carrier. This allowed the sales personnel to process a complete
sale in a few minutes – with one pass through the printer.
The tricky (and exacting) part
of this solution was tipping all fourteen multi-part forms
onto a continuous carrier. We had to maintain form-to-form
registration as well as part-to-part registration. We were
able to do this very successfully and subsequently for other
developers.
And, numerous other examples
of specially printed products using unusual materials and printing
processes.
