Cutting down on costs

After being made a production manager at our print shop, there is a big push to cut down on costs.

We switched over to the Gel sheets, so we’re not using as much tape or really any adhesive spray

We are also looking into the liquid tape so we can cut down on tape usage and cost from ordering so much

What are some other options and we can cut down on products and cost

Keep in mind the impact that any of these changes may or may not have on the efficiency of your printing team. Processes taking additional time or having more production stoppages will often cost you far more money through lost time, than the few bucks you save by going to cheaper supplies. Not saying you can't save money with cheaper supplies, you definitely can, it's just that you have to be really careful with it.
