While corn cards enable companies to go green, they are an expensive alternative. Unless the cost of corn cards stabilizes, Plastilam will continue to produce a petroleum product for distributors looking to save a few dollars, despite the inflating prices of crude oil.
‘Tis the Season
Manufacturers began handling the mad rush of holiday orders in August and will continue to do so right up to the last possible minute. “From now until — believe it or not — Dec. 24, we’re going to have people calling up saying, ‘I need 500 or 1,000 gift cards printed in four or five days. I’m out,’” Hardy said. “I’ve been here until 8:00 or 9:00 at night and have received phone calls from distributors trying to find small quantities. It’s very difficult to find anybody in the industry who will produce 250 cards or even 500. No one wants to do those anymore.”
