Small order came in today...sorry couldn't help it

[Im-Magic]

My printer tells me that when he was working in England a few years ago, they did a shirt for the "Mars Attacks" movie 250,000 run continuous over three weeks.

A Rock N Roll Hall of Fame t-shirts and we printed so many it seemed like that movie groundhog day.

Three million F&B printed all at once on the dreaded Precision Versaovals. Double index with four flashes on ea machine. Print front x2, flash/flash, unload unload, flip, load, load print back x2. Techically we beat the CH3 record but that was a long time ago and took quite a few people on each machine. Plus I can't prove it so what's the point? Pretty much all I did was load/unload trucks.

ratio packed in boxes.

What's ratio packed?

[tonypep]

Also known as a pre-pack. Size scale split within the box. Real PITA

When we got our 100K in, they came unskidded, 144 to a box (50/50 reds), 705 cases or something like that. We were unloading them into our cellar from the truck, by sliding them down a ramp, stacking them up and 2 guys with hand trucks wheeling them away. I was catching them coming down the ramp, and after about 300 or so, my forearms took a beating, felt like applesauce... We don't like to do anything over 25K now, not that we see that much of it, but anything larger seems to overwhelm the shop.

I don't like orders over 1,000 pcs, I get bored with them.  It's just so repetitive.

My bread and butter is 72 to 200, but we do get the 600 and 1000 pc jobs, like mk16 I get sick of the design and can't wait to get finish.

ratio packs.. much better term.. the real PITA though was the QC auditors.

Ah, I'm not alone with getting easily bored. One of the reasons that I do runs as few as a dozen quite frequently and willingly.

[ebscreen]

Ever stare at a word or sentence or phrase for so long that it loses all meaning? Starts morphing
into other things and you even start to worry that it's misspelled?

I wonder what the people at factories that only print 1 thing (like Coca-Cola cans or something)
feel like.

[mk162]

Eh, if the cans are in English, they probably can read them anyway...not poking fun at the people doing the work, but I can bet you they are not printing in the US.

That would get boring though.
