Since you mentioned this, then I'm think thinking that you've ran across situations were the backs have had flaws? Is this semi common?

Are you kidding? Backs, fronts, sides, sleeves, bottoms, collars.

aaaaaahhhh, Gildans . . . .
Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Ah Grasshopper. You will learn that to all shirt brands, there is a season.
Seriously, over the years, just about every major brand I've seen has at some point competed hard for worst shirt honors.
It's a rotating trophy.

That's not a tip or a trick Frog. Shoulda' posted that under "this is how you do it right".

I can load waaaayyyyyy faster when they're stacked upside down. Plus the flip helps
dislodge some of the lintballs.

You'd be surprised at how many learn it the other way, and then have trouble changing.

True that, but "recently" is relative, just because I was pulling already when you were swimming upstream to meet up with your momma's egg!
It must be two years or so since I converted, and I still pull on pkt. prints and other jobs utilizing one handed squeegees.

How about the feeling you get when you flip the shirt over and you see a little (arrow) sticker pointing directly to a hole in the shirt.  But somehow it still made it past QC.  Someone seen it to begin with...why it wasn't taken out at that point baffles my mind.

Every arrow I have ever found has never been pointing at a defect. Just randomly pointing.

See that is extremely fine QC. The arrows are pointing at microscopic errors in the knit. You actually let those by? I hope your customers don't have loupes...
