Romo's innovative research and development has developed products geared towards our customers' individual needs.
Recycling Woes
Disposing of an empty soda can is effortless - throw it in the recycling bin, not garbage can. Not everyone takes the time to recycle, so to incent community members, one municipality developed a tracking and recording system using RFID tags molded into recycling containers. The programmable tags provide automated data collection and transfer through a satellite system. The recycling container is weighed by the collection truck and customers are rewarded with discounts from local businesses for the amount they collect.
School Desktops
Students go to great lengths to leave their mark in high school. Carving initials in a desktop, chewing gum stuck to the bottom, or playing tic tac toe with permanent marker. To increase the longevity of school desks, we created a label molded directly into desktops that eliminates edges (so it can't be pried off like traditional laminate tops can). It also repels pens, pencils, permanent markers AND it looks fabulous. School smarts at work. Read the article here.
Compression Molding
Decorating compression-molded carts was a challenge for one molder. The graphics were fading from sun and water exposure – at the retailer! This affected sales and upset the manufacturer.
They approached Romo Durable Graphics for a solution. New to the compression molding industry, we tested our in-mold graphics on the carts. The results were tremendously successful. After 2560 hours of Xenon testing, the graphics and colors are still vibrant.
