Today on the show we discuss improving the flow from our shipping department at Rock Hill Screen Printing to our Production Floor and back out the door to the customer. Topics include labeling of carts, shelfs and the communication that has to happen when an order is ready for pick-up. Let us know what your doing to improve the efficiency of your order pre and post press!

Today Frank Kemp from Metro Print joins me for a biscuit and a little shop talk.

One of the greatest joys over the past few years has been cohosting the Last Call For Plastisol podcast with my business partner, Christy Shellenberger (Rossi). This morning, we experimented with a new concept: a brief live stream to give our listeners an authentic behind-the-scenes look into the daily life of a screen printing shop owner.

What sets this project apart is its raw and unfiltered approach—no scripts, no edits. What you see is truly what you get. Plus, we’re keeping it concise, aiming for just 5–10 minutes per episode.

Our goal is to share lessons from our own experiences—the trials, successes, and even failures of running a shop—so that you, the audience, can gain valuable insights into what works (and what doesn’t) in your own business.

We hope you’ll find this new format both helpful and relatable!
