"Putting Up" Type

Hatch Show Print has many little idiosyncratic ways of organizing things. It's a small shop and it's full to the brim of STUFFFF! It may look unorganized to a regular visitor, but basically, all the employees know where everything is. It's a lot of organized piles on the floor... kinda like a teenagers room. Here is a good example, there are two large piles of 'project boards' on the floor (a project board is what the designer designs on, i.e. their woodtype, ornaments, spacing picas, photo plates etc etc..). When a designer is done printing their poster, the projects board containing all this stuff is placed in the "Put Up" pile on the floor (put up means to put away). However, even if a board is placed in this pile it MUST have a little square piece of masking tape next to the Client/Job Name for it to truly to be ready to be put away! Kinda funny right? Little piece of masking tape means put away...
