Island Pro Digital: The Problem Solvers
Today, Island Pro Digital rarely turns down a project and finds that, from conceptualization to fulfillment, most jobs can now be produced in-house. For example, when a client needed a large box order of 60,000 boxes—a typical run is 15,000 boxes—the shop was able to produce them in just five business days. "It wasn't based on our prices, but more that we were able to turn around a job like this—which isn't really our niche—in such a short amount of time," Kurt Kubik points out. He also recalls another job where a client needed 150 boxes the next day. "I told the customer to come back in an hour. While he was gone, we created a mockup. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough for us to know which direction we needed to take. I will never forget the look on his face—it was like I birthed his first child."
