Bridging the Gap

Today, GS, Inc. uses six presses, employs 19 people, and produces printed product in a 34,000-sq.-ft. facility. According to Mountford, the -company’s guiding operating philosophy is: “Always try to do everything to the highest level possible.” To achieve this end, GS assists its customers as much as possible with their jobs. “We understand that the printing process may be a total unknown for some of them,” comments Mountford. “In that case, we try to educate them about our process so they will be able to make better decisions going forward.” GS also consults with customers on their jobs—giving them ideas to reduce costs and optimize their designs for the print processes they choose. “Every label looks perfect on the proof sheet or the computer screen,” Mountford explains. “But, in transferring that to the press, some things can get lost in the translation. We try to use our -experience to bridge this gap for the customer.”
