MGX
Materials: "Born-On" When You Order
|
|
|
 While the acquisition of fellow St.
Louis company Anheuser-Busch leaves many unanswered questions regarding
how the rich-in-heritage company will continue under new ownership,
one thing that is sure to remain the same is A-B's iconic
'Born-On Date'. This date ensures the consumer that they are purchasing
a fresh product that should meet their quality and taste expectations.
Much like this Born-On Date, Masterpiece Graphix guarantees their
customers' satisfaction by providing only the freshest of materials.
How is this possible? Because MGX is a custom shop and we do not coat
anything until we receive your order. Many of our competitors choose to
keep a stocked, coated inventory of all of their products sitting on
their floor, which, in essence, reduces the shelf-life your material
has for printing. With MGX's digital materials you can be sure
that you are going to receive a product that will allow you the longest
possible print time, as well as the highest quality product available-
everytime, guaranteed.

|
|
 With the mid-summer heat causing the mercury to rise, we
hope you don't find yourself 'sweating' the details! Take advantage of
the many services and benefits MGX can provide to you and your company
to make your life easier. We can keep a running stock of your
materials, track shipments, process claims, source new materials, quote
pricing... and of course, provide you with superior digital materials.
We make it simple. Our 2/2\2 program allows for materials to be
purchased in orders as small as 2 rolls of 5,000', making it easier
than ever before to pick and choose products to test, trial, or build
sample catalogues from. MGX can help you expand into new markets while
still allowing you to have an enjoyable, relaxing, and stress-free
summer.

Trials,
Samples, and Short-Run Rush Jobs are Easy with MGX 2/2\2
|
|
 Did you know that Masterpiece Graphix has a list of over
100 unique materials that can be ordered, coated, and delivered to your
door step in just six business days? It's called our 2/2\2 Program and it is a
great way to take the first step into new markets and industries. 2/2\2
is beneficial to customers needing small orders in a small amount of
time, and it allows you the option to purchase between 10,000' up to
25,000' of material that can even be divided into 5,000' rolls of
completely different materials. Often times, 2/2\2 orders go on to
serve our clients as sample materials for their salesmen to distribute and
drum up new business. Our entire list of 2/2\2 products, complete with
pricing, can be found by clicking here. For those interested in 2/2\2 materials in larger
volumes or without the need for a 2-day turn, appropriate MSI pricing can be determined for you by
contacting Amber O'Neal at amber@mgxdigital.com.

MGX =
Greener and Cleaner
|
|
 As part of our contiuing efforts to improve the
environment and aid in the fight for a cleaner tomorrow, Masterpiece
Graphix has added more materials to their 'Green' product line. Not only do
these products exhibit elements of sustainability, but they are all
digitally treated on MGX's wind-powered coating machines, which
omit zero harmful carbon gasses. Products currently available include:
*Corn Based PLA: Derived from 100% corn, this material is the
perfect alternative to plastic films that are proven to be detrimental
to the environment. Perfect for food packaging, envelope windows,
floral wrap, and more, this product guarantees all of the same
properties as comparable films, without the harmful effects. Rolls are
available in both white and clear.
*100% Recycled Paper: The name says it all. Crisp, vivid white
paper, produced entirely with recycled materials. Available as rolls or
sheets, give your customers a product they can feel good about.
*Biodegradable Polyethylene: Polyethylene is commonly used for
what are considered to be 'short-term' products: bags, parking passes,
wristbands. However, the effect polyethylene has on the earth is far
from long-term; until now. MGX proudly offers biodegradable polyethylene
sheets and rolls with degradation times varying to when you choose;
months, years... it's up to you.
For samples or more information on any of our eco-friendly products,
please contact Doug Watson at doug@mgxdigital.com,
and be sure to look for our Gather on the
Green display at this year's LabelExpo.

 How quickly this year has gone by! September's LabelExpo conference is less
than two months away and Masterpiece Graphix is in preparations for
what is sure to be a fantastic year. 2008 brings a new eco-element to
LabelExpo, known as Gather on the Green. In true fashion, a green carpet paves the way for
visitors to explore presentation cases full of the latest offerings in
green and sustainable technology from companies within the label
industry. As the environment is a key issue for Masterpiece
Graphix, we intend to have a case to showcase the many green materials
and services we offer. LabelExpo runs from September 9th through the
11th and is to be held in Chicago, Illinois. Keep an eye out for more
details on MGX's Gather on the Green display in future newsletters!

Quote of the Month
|
|
 "The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to
me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained
themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I."
They think "we"; they think "team." They understand
their job is to make the team function. They accept responsibility and
don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what
creates trust, what enables you to get the task done." ~Peter Drucker, Social Ecologist
