IPG Editor visits six Pennsylvania in-plants, including Penn State, Bucknell and Lehigh Universities.

By Bob Neubauer

From there I headed into the hilly heart of Pennsylvania, toward my alma mater, Penn State University. Director Abbas Badani took me right to the Multimedia & Print Center's mailing operation, where he proudly showed off the new Pitney Bowes FlowMaster insterting system, with camera scanning to verify job accuracy. He emphasized that mail often drives print to his in-plant; customers send externally printed jobs to be mailed and he convinces them to print those jobs at the in-plant next time. He also noted that overseeing mail puts in-plants in a stronger position, since mail is seen as "mission critical" and is unlikely to be outsourced.
