carolinamike Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Well folks we've just finished our biggest order ever. All of it was 2 colored laminates on a shad type bait. Get this, 225,316 pieces ended up being the total number of baits completed. Even with the equipment we've got, this turned out to be a massive order for a family run business. Basically 3 people did all the work. It's been a good learning experience though, business wise and work wise. It took us longer than what it should have, but for 3 people I think we did pretty good. Time to complete was probably about 6 months. This was mainly broken down into part-time runs also and not full time runs. These baits will be shipped overseas and should be a year's supply for this customer. It should run faster next time, because all the color matching and the learning of the mold won't be a hinderance. Hopefully, it will be straightforward next time. But truthfully guys, I didn't think we would ever get this one done. Now I have 60 14x14x14 boxes that average 42lbs each sitting in the middle of my living room, waiting to hear from the shipper. Be careful what you wish for, you might get it and have to work your butt off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
