STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR CORE BUSINESS
• Production planning for your end products
can be challenging enough without the added
complexity of planning and producing for your
own plastisol needs
When you consider the hidden costs and potential
distractions associated with in-house plastisol
production, it may make sense for you to stay
focused on your key priorities—keeping your
customers happy and growing your business.
