Customer Challenge

A Large national retail customer was using part-time labor to hand apply 2-4 magnetic strips to the back of large retail graphic displays. Not only was this costly from a process standpoint, the output of displays was also limited due to material costs and lack of control.

• Utilized up to 20 part-time employees
• Inadequate quality and quantity control of hand-applied magnetic tape
• Costly to use converted goods (hand application)
• Slow output and inefficient
