In-plants, from a Quick Printer's Perspective

"Too often, we can look at in-plants…as the enemy when they could make a good partner." So writes Carl Gerhardt, chairman of Allegra Network, in a new blog entry on Printing Impressions' site. He goes on to detail for commercial printers the reasons they might want to partner with in-plants.

"Remember, the in-plant has customers within the parent organization, and its managers need to know you will agree to not do an end run," he writes. "In like manner, you will want that agreement to protect your customers, since many in-plants look to insource printing business to supplement what comes from the parent company/organization."
