VITO LOMENZO (founder, Print Consulting Group) Our larger rolls of paper could go right off the ship and then onto a railroad car. Four rolls could be 32,000 pounds, and some cars could only fit two rolls. The postcards usually moved by truck, but the circulars moved by train more often. When you have eight million pounds of paper coming across the ocean, you want to know how it’s going to come. One time, there were 46,000 pounds of our printed, inkjetted postcards that were supposed to go to the post office.
