Challenge

A non-acute care company was struggling to streamline its operations after four separate nonprofit organizations were merged into one. A redundant headquarters building needed to be vacated within 45 days but it came with a complication. The building housed an internal print shop that provided print services critical to ongoing operations. However, the CFO of the merged organization was eager to focus those resources on activities central to the company’s mission.

Challenge

Alien Gear, a firearms accessory company, was in search of a better packaging solution for its holster products. The current clamshell package design was labor-intensive on the production line, requiring employees to manually assemble the plastic clamshell, card stock insert, and two SKU-specific labels as each holster was inserted. Alien Gear wanted a packaging format that streamlined production while also strengthening brand image among consumers.

Digital Durable Label Solution Improves Lean Compliance

Admin — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 13:00:04 GMT

Challenge

A global consumer goods manufacturer followed strict Lean Manufacturing standards at one of its facilities, which included a rigorous Clean-in-Place (CIP) process. Weekly spray-downs with 150°F water and the use of abrasive scrub brushes caused the durable labels on production line equipment to peel and fade within just a few months. The manufacturer printed the labels in-house on an industrial label machine and needed a better solution. With 100,000 square feet of production space, hundreds of storage tanks and miles of pipe to label, the process of removing, printing and re-applying fresh labels had become a costly and time-consuming exercise.

Challenge

A global credit card services provider printed more than 75 million customer statement sheets each month but began experiencing issues with its jumbo roll paper supplier. Damaged rolls caused production downtime and frequent returns, while the paper itself failed to deliver acceptable logo color density. The heavy 24 lb. stock also added unnecessary postage costs.

However, numerous kit versions needed to be created and shipped to approximately one million merchant locations nationwide.

Challenge

TLC Lingerie, a provider of custom-fitted lingerie, wanted to bring personalized bra-fitting services directly to women. A mobile fitting truck was envisioned that would travel to hospitals and events throughout the region. However, the truck needed to provide a boutique-like experience for customers and give TLC a powerful storytelling platform for topics of special significance — such as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Challenge

A rapidly expanding airline had outgrown its materials management model and was encountering severe operational challenges as a result. More than 250 items were being requested by 100 airline locations nationwide but the company’s internal fulfillment process was prone to errors. Items that were required to be on hand at all times — such as safety manuals and airsickness bags — were often subject to shipping delays, putting flights at risk for being grounded.

Admin — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Challenge

One of the nation’s leading wireless providers wanted to consolidate the distribution of point-of-purchase (POP) materials and in-store marketing collateral for its 14,000 locations nationwide. The company worked with multiple print and logistics vendors but had no way to measure or forecast collateral needs at the store level. Furthermore, the stores themselves were overwhelmed by the sheer number of separate shipments they received each month.
