According to the firm’s owner, Kelly Martin, plans for growth were put on hold largely because manual wrapping was a big-time bottleneck.

“With two people working we were lucky to wrap 150 pieces an hour,” says Martin. “Now with this wrapping machine installed, two people can do up to 800 pieces an hour, including the hand-applied sticker.”
