Meeting Of The Minds

Some said they don't handle business cards at all. Others have a link on their Web site to an outside business card vendor's site, allowing the customer to come to the in-plant with the order. Still others have developed their own online ordering sites for business cards and similar items.

Other differences also came to light during the roundtable discussions. For example, not all participants oversee graphic design. Boeing's in-plant doesn't because its customers are the company's graphic designers. At Louisiana State University, design falls under University Relations. Due to an increased workload there, however, LSU Graphic Services was asked to take on some design responsibilities, so it has started its own design department.
