Guerilla Graphics is a large contract printer in Rockford as well as a certified Nike print facility. They run hot market for just about every type of sporting event across the States

I would love to know how much they are making on each shirt. What 50 cents? That is still $25,000

Standard's about a $1.00 for the first side on regular shirts.

But see those holographic stickers on each shirt? That's where the fun begins.

I'm completely ignorant on this hot market stuff...what's the deal with the hologram decals? are they just a PITA to put on? I can only imagine the organization it takes to pull off these types of numbers, not my specialty haha....

we used to do it...it's not fun and you really have to be setup well for it.  We would get some extra help to do things like unbox, slap stickers on and so forth.

Stickers aren't bad, you just hire a person for minimum wage to stand right over the shirts as they come out and slap a sticker on them...the real fun is hang tags.

We ran Braves stuff like mad and then it was the Olympics.  I don't miss it....but I do miss the crew.

Ha I read guerrilla graphics and thought wow they expanded, apparently they are not the same as our gorilla graphics here in CT. Tho they do have atleast two M&R presses I believe.

Hang tags on the neck are not too bad as you can still do them in stacks. Now hang tags in the armpit, that sucks...

The round holographic stickers never like to come off the roll. And then they stick to your hands, but not the shirt.
Super fun.

As far as being organized, the shop in the video is probably super organized, typically. But in the video not so much.
That's what hot market looks like.  Stacks everywhere and one or two people that know whats what.

Hombre que es una tienda sucia y la mitad de México trabaja allí.


Sorry I couldn't resist...... 

When we did the afc shirts we were getting around $1.25 ea which wasn't too bad. Placing the stickers(2 per shirt) was the biggest bottleneck for us. There's lots of pros/cons for the hot market stuff, it's def not for everyone but it has it's perks for sure.

$1 per on 52k for side 1?  Sign me up.  That's sounds great, stickers or no.  But I can see where stickering 10s of 1000s of freaking shirts could get a little nuts.

Yep, pretty much how it's done. You get paid X per shirt regardless of qty. When we did the broncos afc champ shirts a couple weeks back we were the lucky shop that only had to print white t's. It was a 7 color print, 1 location. We were running around 1,500 shirts an hour between my two autos, 16 hours straight. There's lots of pros/cons like I said but it's a pretty decent deal.  I had to have more people putting stickers on shirts, then people on the press/dryer. It takes a lot longer to sticker then to print. If we didn't have to sticker it would be a dream come true, LOL

Cash flow does not always mean making money......But the media attention in doing a job like this is "priceless"......

[ZooCity]

Agreed royster but contract at a buck per at those qty for the kind of print in that vid would def equate to some money making.  I'd be a verrrrry happy boy if we had the capacity to handle that size of job at that rate without neglecting our usual work load.

I suppose the fact that the Nike inks would all be HSA is a major consideration for some? 

When is M&R releasing the sticker bot for the back of the dryer?

[JBLUE]

Anyone there hear of ventilation?
