Yearbooks Prove a Worthwhile Niche for School In-plant
It didn’t take him long to give his answer.
“We can produce a better product, that’s more custom to your school, for less,” he replied.
Last month he made good on his word. His three-employee in-plant in Hemet, Calif., produced 3,000 yearbooks for 10 elementary schools in just eight days. Pages were printed on a Xerox 700 and bound on a C.P. Bourg perfect binder. A Graphic Whizard UV coater was used to make the covers shine. Charging just $10 a book, Melzer estimates the in-plant is saving the schools $6 a book, or $18,000 total.
