Lamination Innovation

Howell says the laminator paid for itself within six months of installation, and to date has an ROI of more than 700 percent.

"It's a great revenue generator," he declares. "We're tackling new projects that would not have been attempted before."

In addition to laminating posters and artwork for individuals, Howell says his department has been doing a lot of foam core mounting, such as for signs at functions held by the University Relations department and for accolades and wall-of-fame displays across campus.
