It's encouraging that almost half (48 percent) of the in-plants on this year's IPG Top 50 reported increased sales compared with last year. Much of that revenue came from additional business, a tough find in a time of shrinking budgets.

Some have focused on insourcing and have increased the amount of revenue they brought in from outside sources. Half of the in-plants on the Top 50 are now insourcing, with many of them generating more than $1 million from it. Others have moved into new areas, like fulfillment, scanning, archiving, Web design and wide-format printing.
