packing and furniture installation

Less than 10 days till final move day. Things are getting busy.

We are fully operational and running all presses and equipment. We are in the midst of packing up the office and shop while staying on top of servicing ALL of our client needs. And as always, to make things more exciting, we are in the middle of a large re-branding stationery project.

Tonight you can visit us at the  NY Art Directors Club Spring Paper expo where we will have a booth.

Never a dull moment… its what makes the printing business fun and exciting.

communication is key

I was checking in on the painting at our new building yesterday and asked when they would have the final coat of grey paint done.

“Grey paint? What grey paint? We were told white.”

Seems like we had a slight break down in communication. The foreman failed to communicate the office paint color to the painters.

Oh well, its still a fresh  coat of paint. And its not like its fuscia or green - it is a clean white.

Update on Construction May 11

We are getting to the home stretch - yippee!!!!

We stopped by the building today. Its official - we even have a spot on the main sign!

Our main phone and fax lines were installed two weeks ago. Our T1 lines for voice and date get installed tomorrow.  So far so good with what tends to be one of the biggest hurdles in a move.

The construction is complete. The shop has been painted — the new coat of white paint looks awesome!

The office is in the midst of being primed before the soothing gray paint goes on.

Onto the next steps…

Next week the electricians will begin the HUGE process of running all of the power for the presses. The office furniture will be installed  in the beginning of the week and then we can finish the cabling for the phones and computers.

The Space… Before

Our new space in Harrison is AWESOME!  There are so many benefits to it compared to our current space.

  • We are on the 1st floor! We will save a great deal of time not waiting for an elevator to move jobs & paper in and out of the building.
  • We have our own loading docks. This will allow us to receive and ship all hours of the day without any restrictions.
  • The columns in the shop are super small. The space in Brooklyn has mushroom columns which makes it challenging to layout the equipment. Our square footage is the same (32,000 sq. ft.) however the new small pillars makes it seem SOOO much bigger.
  • Epoxy coated Floors - this will make it easier to clean. Check out the reflection on the floors.

Moving into this space is a great opportunity for us to design and customize a space for OUR ideal workflow.  For the shop, some demolition will be required to open the space up.

For the office… a great deal of demolition will be required.  There are many offices with special shapes. We want to have an open floor plan to create an environment for collaboration and creativity.
