Understanding the various business opportunities that exist within the printing industry is one facet of success. But harnessing those that may not be as obvious is a true testament to not only running a profitable printing business, but showcasing passion.

Jed Seifert and Vince Bartozzi of Stakes Manufacturing have been hiring those with disabilities for years. Patrick Bardsley and Tim Howe of Spectrum Designs have built their business model on hiring those with autism. Both businesses and those that run them showcase blockbuster business decisions, human kindness, and personal passion all rolled into one.

During PRINTING United Expo 2024, Seifert and Bardsley joined a panel to discuss a new book the group is working on titled, “INKclusivity” to help educate the entire printing industry on how to implement a similar business plan. Hear the story behind the book, how the Alliance is helping push it into the industry, and get tips on why you should consider a similar program.
