What is Better for Order Fulfillment: The Bagel or Steak Solution?

by Chelsea Camper | Last Updated January 14, 2013

We recently received an email questioning us about our preferences in food between a bagel and a steak. It soon dawned on us that this was more than a question about food; it had a deeper meaning relating to our shipping label sheet product line. Which did we think was better: An order fulfillment solution that filled us up, but provided little nutritious value (the bagel), or a solution that not only filled us up but had more substance and nutritious value than the other method (the steak).

You might have guessed that we would pick the more nutritious value, but you might not completely understand why. So, let us explain! Read More…

How to Print Your Own Valet Parking Tags

by Chelsea Camper | Last Updated December 12, 2012

Hospitals, country clubs, hotels, and many other businesses use valet parking tags. These help their guests get in and out without having to worry about parking. Some businesses offer valeting as a complementary service, while others offer the service day in and day out. When thinking about how many vehicles go through these types of businesses on a daily basis, one may realize how high the expense of buying pre-printed valet tickets might cost.

On average, the cost about $0.11 or $0.12 per valet parking permit when bought pre-printed. When you buy blank, printable valet parking tickets and print your own tags, you’ll only be paying about $0.08 per valet parking tag after printing.
