New Digs, New Gear for South Dakota In-plant
Smoother Workflow
Production is much smoother in the new 7,300-square-foot facility than it was in the former 3,100-square-foot space.
"Our production area was upstairs, and our paper storage was actually in the basement," remarks Mills. "It was a very poor workflow before."
In the new facility, everything is on one floor, with the office area on one end and delivery on the opposite end. In between, the shop floor is set up so work flows from prepress into printing and bindery. Paper is stored in the same room, and the new Ikeuchi dry fog humidification system keeps sheets acclimated in South Dakota's dry climate.
