That's interesting, but for the moment I'm calling it clickbait.
"Used encapsulating equipment" is a million-dollar investment. "Struggling" and "million dollar investment" are kind of mutually exclusive. The process takes a warehouse sized workspace and a team of people to operate it.
And, there is no way, as in it's not possible, that somebody's garage operation, if such a thing were even possible here, could beat the pricing of a company that buys the base materials by the literal semitruck load.
The field would have to be huge to justify it, SC Village huge, and that means a massive population center like Dallas, LA, Chicago or Miami.
Nope. I would love to have to eat my words later, but for now? Pure fake news clickbait.

Hmmm. might not be as crazy as you think - search "paintball encapsulation machine" and allot comes up for allot less than a million - they will set them up to make whatever you want. look at the vitamin/supplement industry - hippies and bodybuilders have been encapsulating unicorn dust and powdered rhino balls since the 60's.
could you effectively do this under a tarp out at the paintball field? - probably not well, or cost effectively, but I've seen great things come out of a tin shed with a hammer, 60 year old skillsaw and a corded drill, and absolute garbage come out of a high tech shop with every tool imaginable so It would not surprise me if something like this were going on.
I hope its true and good on them for sticking it to the man!

Also take GAP paint for example - they operated out of a Janky wherehouse in carson city - you could go down there and buy it at wholesale prices right off the loading dock. that was not a big operation, and it got hot and cold in carson city. - it was dry though. I would argue that was some of the best paint to ever go through a paintball gun.
