Shutterfly, an e-commerce business that creates custom photo-centric cards, books, gift items and more, was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in California. There are three manufacturing facilities—one in Arizona, another in South Carolina and the most recently built 240,000-square-foot building in Plano that opened in 2020.
The details: Products are created through a blend of mechanized processes and manual craftsmanship—what Site Director Chris Mooney refers to as “high-touch” effort. One example is the sublimation process used to produce flat metal products.
“Metal ornaments are hugely popular and one of my favorite products because it's metal, it lasts forever,” Mooney said. “You print the transfer sheet then apply heat and pressure that transfers the ink from the sheet to the substrate."
