I don't know if this is for you or not, but I have to work in different shops in the field and maintain a pretty business casual appearance. I chose these:
Skechers for Work Men's Hartan Slip-On Shoe and I like them a lot. Steel toe, slip on for airport utility, cushy insoles, sharp enough look. I used to fly in casual shoes and pack steel toes, now I just use these!
Possible reasoning is the fact that companies are generally cheap (i.e. want to make profits).
I would like to hypothesize that the reason for white painted floors is for more ergonomic and interior design based reasons. In a traditional manufacturing environment, light sources are a output of resources (electric bills, lightbulbs, maitanence staff) and your workers productivity can be increased or decreased on the amount of available light they have in their manufacturing plant. This is especially so with small or electronic based assemblies.
In short, what will reflect the largest amount of the available light in this huge factory/warehouse/building that the company in question has just purchased? A painted white floor!
What is the cheapest and quickest color to paint on anything? White, it's what contractors do before they finish building a house, prime the walls with white paint!
I would like to say that "companies" started painting their floors white when they realized it would save money in the long run.
This book (http://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Lemelson-Studies-Invention-Innovation/dp/0262017776) describes the initial cultural shift, which it puts in the 1920's period.
Learning To See - https://www.amazon.com/Learning-See-Stream-Mapping-Eliminate/dp/0966784308/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542653181&sr=8-1&keywords=learning+to+see
Great book to help you see what is creating value for your customer and what waste that can be removed to achieve optimal flow.
already translated for you, from the Grand Master:
from another post:
This book is pretty good. Very direct, compact, written by the guy who implemented lean production at Toyota https://www.amazon.com/Toyota-Production-System-Beyond-Large-Scale/dp/0915299143/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1542149684&sr=8-13&keywords=toyota+manufacturing
Awesome, thanks a bunch for the tips. I have no engineering background so I appreciate the tips and the reading materials. I'll take a look. And without 3D printing, I think the only way I can solve the problem is by hideously MacGyvering some materials to a standard plastic tube. But I'll mull on that thought
​
Also, I was thinking 3D print the tube once or twice for the prototype, then if I decide to mass produce, move into tooling/molds. Is that a viable plan for these kinds of products?
​
This is on a certain level similar to what I'm making:

​
Why do you have a lot of extension cords? Do you need to better distribute power with a long power-strip pole or a spring-driven power reel mounted overhead?
Just buy one and be happy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JITDVD2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_q1IRCbS0NNPF4
A depth gauge like this would work well
if you're looking for a little reading, I really enjoyed, Poorly Made in China.
Manufacturing processes for design professionals gives a nice overview on just about every kind of manufacturing process there is, though it's a bit expensive and kind of a brick.

Interesting, sounds kinda like a home sewing business. The way that regular factories do it is they have a marker (paper with all the pattern pieces traced out for efficient yardage and correct grain) that they put over the spread fabric and use an electric knife that can cut through many many ply. But if you're only ever cutting at most eight ply, maybe you could use something like this handheld electric knife that can cut more and be faster than a rotary cutter, but doesn't require all the infrastructure of an industrial knife? https://www.amazon.com/Reliable-1500FR-Octagonal-Cutting-Machine/dp/B00TUWF8ZG/

I've found their "plier wrench" does a much better job than a regular adjustable wrench and can replace the open ended wrench in many cases, though I'm not sure how much you use your box end.

that's the set I have.
There are a few injection molding guides on Amazon. Here’s one that I found. Search on Amazon and other used book sites. I bet you can find something for $30.
You can get treatment for evaporative humidifiers, no idea how it would work in an ultrasonic type. Maybe ask the manufacturer what they recommend. I wouldn't be surprised if they already have a solution.

It's just a set of bits for a router, not particularly rare, fancy or expensive. New set would be 40-100 my guess http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FJRN8S/ref=s9_top_hd_bw_bD4kJ_g469_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_r=0854NJ7BABDQGVB3ZS0H&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=e3873ec3-2071-56f1-b304-96ab142fe7ba&pf_rd_i=3116511 put them on craigslist or ebay and I'm sure some woodworker will pick them up.
Check out this book. It's not specific to manufacturing but talks about engineering as a whole practice.

It's this low cost one from amazon. Not exactly the most repeatable motion.
This one is cheap enough to check out even if it isn't the one you had before:

As others have mentioned. Shrink wrap.
You can get them for small-scale stuff if you want to do proof of concept too. It's just the roll of wrap, a heat-seal/cut machine, and heat gun.
Here's a kit I found on Amazon specifically for doing CDs, but same process:
