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. • Quality control is critical; when you produce plastisol you take on the challenges associated with consistently producing in-spec formulations for your end product. • Maintaining your production equipment is a full- time job; keeping plastisol mixing equipment up to industry standards can cost tens of thousands of dollars a year.
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.
