Congratulation Mr & Mrs Wiggins!

I had the pleasure of attending Mike and Carissa’s wedding this past weekend in Charlotte NC. The magnificent occasion went off without a hitch, at least from the guests perspective Carissa says something a little different. It was a beautiful sunny day in Charlotte in the 50′s and not a cloud in the sky. The wedding ceremony was held outside with the reception on the same property in a fabulously decorated hall. I think Carissa had a huge grin on her face the entire day, it was great to see! Both Mike and Carissa are very happy……if you see them walking around the building please wish them well!

Congratulation Mike and Carissa!

On October 30th of this year two members of the Wolfe Pack will be getting married. Mike and Carissa, both part of the Omni Print team will tie the knot in a Fall wedding in Charlotte, North Carolina. Both are very excited and anxious for the big day. If you see them walking around the building please wish them well before they head back home on October 21st for wedding preparations!   

Congratulations Mike and Carissa!

Group Gift is now live and in production (see photo) . This is a cool accordian style greeting card with multiple panels and up to 60 people can participate on one card. If more than 60 want to be included a second greeting card will automatically be used. This product is available for both WRL clients and Giftcard.com customers.

Another significant investment in our print facility was made recently by the purchase of a high volume automated and programable paper cutter. This cutter will be used to finish various products exclusive to WRL and Giftcards.com. The purchase of this machine follows the continued philosophy of having total control over all products, one hundred percent of all paper and plastic printing is done in house with no outsourcing. This allows Omni Print to be very flexible as a company and able to make changes with ease and speed. An idea or change can be realized today, and tomorrow be printed and used in production.

Omni Print welcomes Greg Salzman to the team. Greg has a varied background in a print and production environment as well as experience with different shipping systems. Greg is already making an impact in production by learning to operate several different machines and processes within the production environment. He has accomplished a lot in the short two weeks he has been with us. Adding an addtitional team member is allowing Omni Print to get cards out the door more quickly to customer’s both on the corporate and consumer sides of the business.

Welcome aboard Greg!

In the coming weeks Omni Print will start gearing up for the 2011 holiday season. One additional staff member will be added to take the total number of resources to five. This will allow for additional  machine coverage so that multiple  machines can run simultaneously enabling Omni Print to process orders more quickly and speed up time of delivery to the end customer.

We will also be purchasing a new Guillotine Paper Cutter in the next couple of weeks. For those who are not aware we are printing 100% of our card carriers, terms & condition inserts, greeting cards and all marketing and sales materials in house. With the purchase of this new cutter we will be able have all paper items finished more quickly ready for use on our internal machines and for any trade shows.

This is all good news as it means we are moving forward with volume growing

During the past weeks we have had some great events for our employees and families. We had the Wolfe Company Quarterly Meeting, the Brown Bag Lunch with Jason and Doug and the Take Your Kids to Work Day. All these events give employees a chance to get together and they are just plain FUN.  Thanks to all for coordinating these events.  Doug

Within the next week OmniPrint will begin using a new upgraded envelope with more of a greeting card look at feel. The envelope is a thicker linen paper stock that will also have a silver foil lining more resembling a greeting card that would be purchased at a brick and mortar store. Another step forward in the evolution of the greeting card product….more improvements to come!
