In-plants Around the World

Oakes, who works at the University of New Brunswick, says his in-plant insources bindery work from local print shops that lack the right equipment. However, he added, this is balanced by the outsourcing of film work, perfect binding and oversized offset printing.

"Our shop in particular does not market or solicit external business," notes Konecsni, though he adds: "We provide services to the faculty, staff, students, friends and alumni of the university."
