These pictures are from the Bazzill factory. The first big machine you see here gathered 25 sheets of our precious Bazzill paper and shrink wrapped them to prepare for shipping. The woman shown on the next machine is watching over it as it gathers 2 pieces from each color and feeds them in to make assortment packages. And finally you can see Mr. Bazzill in the foreground of the last picture where one of his employees is cutting paper to size. Here's and interesting fact---See that big bin full of blue strips of paper near where he is working? There is a 1/2" overcut from each large sheet of paper to make sure that the edges of the final cuts are even and free from yucky edges. The remaining 1/2" strips are dumped into the large bins. They fill about 4 of these bins each day, but even this is not wasted. This excess is shipped to Mexico where they pulverize it, bleach it, and make it into toilet paper. Really---I'm not kidding. So----If you take a trip to Mexico and have an occasion to use a restroom there that has been stocked with Mexican toilet paper, you will have used Bazzill paper in yet another way.
