An In-plant Victory
The shop has also made a number of other changes to improve its efficiency: It revamped its layout to improve workflow. It combined its mailing and fulfillment functions. It eliminated its offset presses. And it reduced its staff size by a third. There are now 10 employees in print, mail and fulfillment. Another two graphic designers work closely with the team. Schrader says he kept his staff updated throughout all the discussions, so they were all on board and eager to make the changes work.
