Same in most small businesses. I have my own wheelchair wheel molds for many sizes. A custmor will fax or email and order for 20 wheels of a size I sell 40 a year and want then ASAP. This will take two mold changes at half or longer of a day. It will take several pounds of material purged thru the machine to clear out the last color of material. All that means that there is no way anyone will pay the amount it would take to even pay the costs let alone have any left over to buy beans. The only way to try to make out is to make a two years run in those uncommon sizes and hold them in inventory until they are sold. I have some of this kind of inventory that has been in the warehouse for over ten years. Who ever was using them either goes out of business, finds a different supplier or no longer uses this size or colors. The materials have to be paid for in 30 days and the labor has to be paid at the end of the week. If my customers can not get the special small amounts I will not get the large quanity orders in the common sizes. Small businesses are most between a rock and a hard place a lot of the time. Shipping container quanity amounts can be had from China at my material costs for the same item.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
