Star-Value Philosophy
Just like the five points of a star – The Star Value Program has five steps to ensure customers get the right product for the right job. These five areas are Consulting and Evaluation, Concurrent Engineering, Information Management, Quality Products, and Inventory Support. Using these steps, we not only get the customer what they need but also help the customer lower their costs and reduce waste.

During this process we look at the scope of your current Label and Graphic requirements, identify opportunities for Production optimization with same size, product / material bundling and forecasts to maximize value engineering opportunities that reduces both hard and soft costs.
Step 2: Concurrent Engineering – Choosing the right materials for the right application is especially important. If this step is skipped or missed, product failure can occur in the field which can be costly for all parties. To reduce this risk, our teams work together in identifying the right material, production process and provide drawing, and artwork support.
Step 3: Information Management – MSC manages 1, 10, 100, or a 1,000 part-numbers for our customers. MSC accomplishes this through utilization of sound methods and technology to manage: revisions, changes, drawings, art-files, and shipping information.

Step 4: Quality Products – At MSC, quality is the core-value of everything we do. Managed by everyone in the organization from line personnel to the President.
