Meeting Of The Minds

Though a similar, more informal meeting took place during the IPMA 2001 conference in June, the Chicago roundtable marked the first official meeting of the Top 70 in-plants. (IPG ranks the Top 50 each December, and our Web site extends the list to the Top 70.)

Many Differences

Perhaps the most telling sign of how different these large in-plants are from one another was in the way they handle business cards. The prices they charge range greatly, from a low of $10 for 500 to a high of $115 for 500 (two-color) cards.
