It is absolutely true that your department or small business, can possibly buy the pieces to do what RBR Productions do, without factoring in the true costs’ involved in completing the project. An in house project will work best for companies that have employees sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, or for someone to come through the door. RBR will print to disc, avoiding this expense, as well as curling of label stock through temperature and humidity changes in your environment.
