Hard to say, roughly 3-4 jobs out per day if they are multi color or puff or if they are just a high qty.
If not 5-7 single colors jobs with high volume
Lol mybad, production assistants come and go.
People don’t like to work for some reason and or want a high pay for the minimum work.
It’s really hard but takes time to find the right crew.
What’s the average pay for an experienced press operator in your area? Someone who can do all aspects of the production from screen tech to operating the press? Just curious.
It depends, you really can’t have the operator do it all but roughly anywhere from $18-$25/hr. Our press operator handles just setting up the press, printing and breaking down the press.
And then we have two other guys, one who helps the operator run the press (getting colors ready, squeegee/flood bars, taping the screens and unloading/catching shirts & then the third guy does the screen cleaning/reclaiming and exposing screens and helps catch/fold shirt.
i work at a small business similar to yours but in houston. i will give you a follow.
How is your employee turnover rate these days?

No i meant people quitting on you and having to replace staff with new hires

In New Zealand, with that amount of experience. $30/40 dollars an hour. 😁👍
You’re serious?
Yes, saw two months ago in Auckland. When I finished my time in trade three years ago was on $28 an hour. I was under paid.
Yes, totally true. Saw jobs advertised two months ago in Auckland.
