Welcome to the Artgrafix Blog on Print Display
Hi and welcome to our Company blog. our purpose in starting this is to create an informal communication with you and those involved in print display. Artgrafix is a company which focuses on servicing people just starting out mounting and laminating larger prints. Our view on mounting and laminating is while it shouldn’t be hard to do, it’s not always obvious what to do and finding out how can be frustrating. We hope this blog is a tool to help us understand what is important as well as a resource to get you information you need.
To give a little structure to our blog (and only a little), we will write a short recap each month on the following items:
- New product ideas we are working on
- Industry trends which have effected us
- Problems we incurred and how we’ve addressed them
By way of background, we ventured out and started our business over 6 years ago and had many of the ‘near death’ experiences new businesses endure. While I believe the axiom ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ has some truth, I could have lived with things going closer to plan. Needless to say, we have learned a lot in the past 6 years.
We are a typical small business. We have a 7,000 square foot warehouse in a not so pretty industrial park. But it’s clean, functional and serves our purposes well without breaking the bank and is convenient and safe for our 11 great employees. Everyone here has touched our products in tangible ways. From coating and cutting boards, everyone has played a vital production role in times of rush orders or covered when folks are out sick. And everyone has an opinion from what they hear customers say on new laminate films and products. Our customers can talk to anyone here and all of our employees can take an order. We are not big on Job Description (although we have some), but it all comes down to quality and service and everyone here knows that.
We hope you like spending a couple of minute a month seeing what we are working on and if you desire, add your comments for us to learn from. Thanks again!
