That’s very cool and I appreciate that feedback was taken so to heart that this biz made changes. It’s very difficult for home crafters to compete with wholesale materials and seller forums can be so shady. It can’t be easy to stay afloat. I hope ur good work is rewarded.

Love the care of small companies! When I was stretching my earlobes I was using a great product from a small company and I mentioned that an oil that was dispensed from a hard plastic bottle with one of those flip caps was messy and difficult but a dropper bottle would be a big improvement, as well as a few other little things, and they did change to dropper bottles! Great improvement, and I appreciate when a company listens and fixes problems.
I’m impressed you got a quantitative pneumatic filling machine, a manual labeler and an induction sealer for less than 600. I work on the fillers pretty regularly, the liquids we work with are pretty corrosive so replacing the hoses, nuts, and o-ring seals is pretty common every few weeks. Flushing the machines with water after a batch really does prolong the lifespan of these machines. Pity my co-workers don’t care enough to do that regularly.
Thank you for the small business inspiration! I’m a corporate guy in charge of a global team and it is EXHAUSTING I’m nearly 40 and absolutely ready to retire from corporate. Still picking up the pieces from depression and anxiety so I need all the inspiration I can get. Happy New Year!
I’ve been there too. Still picking myself up and learning to find love and joy in the seemingly mundane moments in my life. Some days are better than others.
as an industrial mechanic, you should have a QA check at the end, atleast do a weight check to make sure your filling machine isnt getting out of tolerance.
this was a GREAT commercial.. interactive.. and it made me watch it twice.. the second time to determine the product name and then google it.. this was just a big ole commercial, but Brilliantly done..!
I don't consider this a commercial. I don't know what he is selling or even what industry he is in. The listing for the induction sealer was more of an ad that whatever he is producing.
@@careyosoup274 Well, personally speaking his relaxed demeanor makes me want to know what he's selling at least for the sake of curiosity. That draws my attention way more than 90% of loud, in your face, product ads where as soon as the ad starts I turn to a different video or do something else while the unskippable ad plays (make food, wash dishes, go through mail, etc.).
I used to work in a warehouse that made fuel additives. I found that labeling a mass amounts of bottles BEFORE adding the liquid make it much easier. Just a tip if you wanna try it and see if it helps your business at all
Might work in some situations..but you are having to handle the bottles twice as much and should there be a leak onto the bottle it would be easier to clean up and or not waste a lable.
What an inspiration. I’ve got a huge shop, and it’s just me. Now I need to find that one thing to produce / manufacture and distribute. Keep on keepin on!
Just remember it doesn't need to be unique. Just thing of a little improvement on something you have that you would like to own and come up with how to make it. Or connect with someone that needs the space for their business and work together.
For years I’ve had this simple yet weird idea. For the first time I’ll be sharing it with someone else because I don’t know.. Anyway here’s my idea : flavoured toothpicks✨ Those that cool guys like Johnny Depp in his prime would chew on all day. Vanilla flavoured, chocolate etc by soaking wood in flavours for a while. You sell them in small boxes of 20-40 ‘’sticks’’ the size of matches, a neat package that resembles a metal card holder, or wooden type of stuff with leather.. make it look classy and elegant. Tell me what you think about my idea

@@miro6017its the fact people complained about breakage on the seals so he went out and made it better. Instead of just ignoring it and carrying on like most big businesses do
@@keanandarnell8709I work in manufacturing for a large food manufacturer and we don’t just let product defects slide.. but if i recall correctly our current complaint per 1m containers ratio is like 1.2 or something and on average we probably make in the range of 1m + containers a day. And that’s just at our plant, not company wide. so, defects can happen.
Was gonna make a joke about Walter and Jesse hiding in the background cooking up his next batch, but after watching this like 8 times, I gotta say that's a really nice setup there. Man has a product and does what it takes to get it out to the public, respect
Wow...this is the first video that I have come across that I am actually excited about...love your presentation. I am a salon owner and stylist and would have loved to have known this before because I could have made my own products!!! I have subscribed because very few people think and take action like you did! Thank you for posting!
Hey man! Love that you're innovating and improving. A quick tip (manufacturing expert here) see if you can move the labeler over towards your machine to make a complete u-shaped cell. This will allow you to complete one piece flow instead of batching ceiling and then labeling. If you can have a continuous stream where you inject seal label and box/put into storage then you will save an incredible amount of labor which is critical for mom and pop operations. One piece flow also guarantees defects are caught almost immediately, but a side effect is your products are almost immediately able to ship in about 10 to 15% of the time of batching.
@@jtot5 & @carhug2012 I"m a LEAN SIX SIGMA Black Belt and I agree that a ONE PIECE FLOW is faster than a Batch & Flow process. Most of the projects that I worked on at Lockheed Martin were just a little bit of moving each process next to each other. When you follow and record the current process being used in production you get what we call a SPAGHETTI CHART and when you look at how much trave time & travel distance each person does to conform to the current process you will realize the TRAVEL TIME & TRAVEL DISTANCE is very very important. Just rearrange each station in the process next to each other the best you can and you will save tons of money. I call it REARRANGING THE FURNITURE although nowadays I'm sure there is a name for it.
Dude people aren't retarded. They know if they put the coffee beans next to the grinder it's easier. He's adapted to his family and exercise needs. Clearly he knows if you put something closer it's closer. How fucking dumb do people think others are. Why don't you do something yourself rather than telling others how?
Consider people at different elevations. I am a over-the-road semi-truck driver and I often enough here plastic bottles popping (crinkling) from when I last opened them because of elevation change. So before you seal that you might want to give the jar a little squeeze so it's not puffed up so much.
sorry could you explain again? :D You're saying to squueze the jars to release some air because if they are filled with air it will expand and explode?
@@rohanofelvenpower5566 The foil seal after he applied it looked like it was already under a lot of tension making it easier to bust. So if he is closer to sea level and ships it to somebody in the mountains, it would have an even greater potential of busting on its own.
Great marketing. First time I've responded this way by buying a product, but you made it a tip for entrepreneurs, as well as it being a product that applies (ha! pun!) to my line of work.
Great job dispensing the liquid in one bottle while putting the cap on the next. That is called parallel operations. Try applying the same concept to the induction heater and label roller. Seal on bottle while labeling the next. Continue eliminating waste and maximizing the output one person can do.
@@AVATARW0 a machine that handles the bottle.in the right way. If it's a repetitive mechanical task, it can always be automated. The question is not whether it's possible, rather whether it's worth doing.
@@Anankin12I used to work at a plant that made and bottled Palmers Cocoa Butter products. Their engineers literally designed every automation process for every line in there and made them modular so parts of the systems could be moved to other lines as needed. The only thing missing from their setups was electronic reporting systems. The closest they got to that was label and bottle counters. Everything was mechanical. It was really impressive.
Watched the full video.. I should say ,im motivated and encouraged ... Fir someone who just bought a small laser engraving machine and trying to get a commercial place to rent,i think this will help me get on my feet working from home ...thank you brother man❤
@@madisonc2410 While this is true, I think @JC-sw7dv meant that in general, it's THIS easy to set up a small shop to produce very proffesional looking products. Anyone can drop $600-$1000 to throw something in a container and slap a label on it that says "Vitamins/Supplements." Tbh I agree! this video is just as inspiring as it is a little scary lol.
@madisonc2410 true, but she's not wrong. Vitamins aren't FDA approved or tested, meaning anyone can put whatever they want in them including heavy metals and chemicals unknown. That's why you always want to buy supplements from companies who 3rd party test. Thorn and Carlsons are two of the best
Someone thats worked in many production lines in my teens, I can say that the fancier these things get the more staff you need or time you need to fix it going wrong. I think he's probably made a good choice for now. The manual side of it probably means it never has issues.
I agree with the comment above me. I work in a tire factory and I am one of the guys that fixes the machines when they go down. Automation makes things efficient and fast, until it breaks... I think with a small business like this, a good balance is needed.
Thats awesome. For my product I had to screw in a tiiiny screw and I was loosing my mind as it always fell off. After I've just put some stotch tape around the screwdriver bit and it holds now the tiny screw safely to screw in. It seems like such a small detail but when you have to do this hundreds of times every small improvement makes such a dofference
Automation is worth it if you can make full use of it, this operation obviously can't. Rather I'd ask if it's worthwhile to arrange a short production run somewhere where there is a automatic bottling line. Different goo, different label, but a bottle is a bottle.
Oh the memories from when I had my skincare business, labels and packaging and shipping stuff, it just hits different when you have a real stake in a business
This is really cool! I don't know much about how a person goes from a fully handmade very small business to the next step. It's cool to see the in between levels of a business and see the price point of these machines
Here is a good tip for testing your product packaging for shipping. Put it in a box that is too big for the product so it can move around in the box. Then stand at the top of your driveway and throw the box to the curb. Repeat this 4 times. Note, this test is invalid if your driveway is not more than 20 feet. Anyway, this toss will happen about 4 times when in the hands of UPS or FedEx as it makes its way through their system on and off the trucks.
I doubt my packaging would survive that test, yet USPS, Fedex and DHL still handle with *enough* care that the boxes arrive in good shape. UPS, not so much 😂
holy moly. that label applicator awoke some horrific first-job-out-of-college memories in me. getting it to line up perfectly on the back takes so much effort!
I work in the packaging industry that does this, but at a very much larger scale. Adding a pull tab with induction sealer is, not great; you can do those tri tab sometimes, but honestly those kinda suck. But you'll likely have quality issues with just getting a proper seal. Most of the pull tabs that you see that are good are done using thermal (not induction), but seal would need to apply to jar first then cap applied.
@@BunToomo Totally depends on the through-put (required parts per hour), process, product requirements, and quality control. A lot of this could be could be done with 1 or maybe 2 robots (Used robots) if I spent any more time thinking about it. 1 Robot 30k-ish, 2 robot 40k ish. Like I said depends on how many required per hour. 100% worthwhile if you're planning on doing production for a long period of time, especially if the demand will increase. I see at least 3 people working full time. How much is your time worth is the real question. If it's better spent elsewhere, it's 5000% worth it. Will pay for itself within half a year to a year, just guessing as I don't know anything about this business but it looks pretty labor intensive. Most people in automation are automotive based (my origins as well) which requires extreme accuracy, specialized equipment, and has a lot of paperwork and extras attached where as stuff like this can be done pretty dang cheaply (compared to a normal automotive job regardless of the type of job).

And it's not that hard to do.

Love the care of small companies! When I was stretching my earlobes I was using a great product from a small company and I mentioned that an oil that was dispensed from a hard plastic bottle with one of those flip caps was messy and difficult but a dropper bottle would be a big improvement, as well as a few other little things, and they did change to dropper bottles! Great improvement, and I appreciate when a company listens and fixes problems.
we take that seriously i love that you recognize that
Don't do such primitive masochistic things!It's self destruction and has always been attached to satanic rituals.
I’m impressed you got a quantitative pneumatic filling machine, a manual labeler and an induction sealer for less than 600. I work on the fillers pretty regularly, the liquids we work with are pretty corrosive so replacing the hoses, nuts, and o-ring seals is pretty common every few weeks. Flushing the machines with water after a batch really does prolong the lifespan of these machines. Pity my co-workers don’t care enough to do that regularly.
Anyway, I hope your business is doing well

this was a GREAT commercial.. interactive.. and it made me watch it twice.. the second time to determine the product name and then google it.. this was just a big ole commercial, but Brilliantly done..!
I wish more commercials were like this.
Not that big of a commercial lol
I don't consider this a commercial. I don't know what he is selling or even what industry he is in. The listing for the induction sealer was more of an ad that whatever he is producing.
@@careyosoup274 Well, personally speaking his relaxed demeanor makes me want to know what he's selling at least for the sake of curiosity.

Actually did the same thing
Nice to see someone sharing helpful info that may encourage someone to market their stuff😊
Wonderful. Love that you took the mystery out of the process. This is available to so many small businesses.
I used to work in a warehouse that made fuel additives. I found that labeling a mass amounts of bottles BEFORE adding the liquid make it much easier. Just a tip if you wanna try it and see if it helps your business at all
Might work in some situations..but you are having to handle the bottles twice as much and should there be a leak onto the bottle it would be easier to clean up and or not waste a lable.
Great idea. That makes too much sense to some ppls though
What an inspiration. I’ve got a huge shop, and it’s just me. Now I need to find that one thing to produce / manufacture and distribute. Keep on keepin on!

You sell them in small boxes of 20-40 ‘’sticks’’ the size of matches, a neat package that resembles a metal card holder, or wooden type of stuff with leather.. make it look classy and elegant.

Waste Not Want none.
im genuinely amazed by your efficiency and transparency
Hey man! Love that you're innovating and improving. A quick tip (manufacturing expert here) see if you can move the labeler over towards your machine to make a complete u-shaped cell. This will allow you to complete one piece flow instead of batching ceiling and then labeling. If you can have a continuous stream where you inject seal label and box/put into storage then you will save an incredible amount of labor which is critical for mom and pop operations. One piece flow also guarantees defects are caught almost immediately, but a side effect is your products are almost immediately able to ship in about 10 to 15% of the time of batching.
Industrial Engineering take, I like it
@@jtot5 & @carhug2012
I"m a LEAN SIX SIGMA Black Belt and I agree that a ONE PIECE FLOW is faster than a Batch & Flow process. Most of the projects that I worked on at Lockheed Martin were just a little bit of moving each process next to each other. When you follow and record the current process being used in production you get what we call a SPAGHETTI CHART and when you look at how much trave time & travel distance each person does to conform to the current process you will realize the TRAVEL TIME & TRAVEL DISTANCE is very very important. Just rearrange each station in the process next to each other the best you can and you will save tons of money. I call it REARRANGING THE FURNITURE although nowadays I'm sure there is a name for it.

Consider people at different elevations.
I am a over-the-road semi-truck driver and I often enough here plastic bottles popping (crinkling) from when I last opened them because of elevation change. So before you seal that you might want to give the jar a little squeeze so it's not puffed up so much.
Very good advice 👌 👍
Interesting…
sorry could you explain again? :D
You're saying to squueze the jars to release some air because if they are filled with air it will expand and explode?
@@rohanofelvenpower5566yup exactly
@@rohanofelvenpower5566 The foil seal after he applied it looked like it was already under a lot of tension making it easier to bust.

We have a similar process for some of our products. I remember when I first started and I was just attaching stems to spray nozzles for hours 😂
Great job dispensing the liquid in one bottle while putting the cap on the next. That is called parallel operations. Try applying the same concept to the induction heater and label roller. Seal on bottle while labeling the next. Continue eliminating waste and maximizing the output one person can do.
Automating even that costs less time and effort than relying on one human to do such a thing.
@@Anankin12how would you automate that process
@@AVATARW0 a machine that handles the bottle.in the right way. If it's a repetitive mechanical task, it can always be automated. The question is not whether it's possible, rather whether it's worth doing.
@@Anankin12I used to work at a plant that made and bottled Palmers Cocoa Butter products. Their engineers literally designed every automation process for every line in there and made them modular so parts of the systems could be moved to other lines as needed. The only thing missing from their setups was electronic reporting systems. The closest they got to that was label and bottle counters. Everything was mechanical. It was really impressive.

Really makes you rethink about where you’re buying your vitamins/supplements from 😮
It isn’ta vitamin or supplement. It is a product used in crafts…like mod podge.
@@madisonc2410 While this is true, I think @JC-sw7dv meant that in general, it's THIS easy to set up a small shop to produce very proffesional looking products. Anyone can drop $600-$1000 to throw something in a container and slap a label on it that says "Vitamins/Supplements." Tbh I agree! this video is just as inspiring as it is a little scary lol.
@madisonc2410 true, but she's not wrong. Vitamins aren't FDA approved or tested, meaning anyone can put whatever they want in them including heavy metals and chemicals unknown. That's why you always want to buy supplements from companies who 3rd party test. Thorn and Carlsons are two of the best
This is so true. You can put anything in those bottles. Be very careful what you put in your body. HARKERS MAGIC??? Good luck.
Makes me wonder about the integrity of of the product and seller.
There are motorized label applications like that, too, that use a foot pedal to trigger it. Might be worth looking into to speed up that part
Someone thats worked in many production lines in my teens, I can say that the fancier these things get the more staff you need or time you need to fix it going wrong. I think he's probably made a good choice for now. The manual side of it probably means it never has issues.
I agree with the comment above me. I work in a tire factory and I am one of the guys that fixes the machines when they go down. Automation makes things efficient and fast, until it breaks...
I think with a small business like this, a good balance is needed.
Thats awesome. For my product I had to screw in a tiiiny screw and I was loosing my mind as it always fell off. After I've just put some stotch tape around the screwdriver bit and it holds now the tiny screw safely to screw in. It seems like such a small detail but when you have to do this hundreds of times every small improvement makes such a dofference
Have you tried magnetic screwdrivers?

My engineering brain is screaming: I can automate this!!!
expensive undertaking. one we will look at when we do more than 100k units a month
@@VanaderI would definitely add a servo or stepper to turn that label handle thing exactly, with a press of a button.
My operations brain: “well, are you operating at a scale where that’s worth it?”
Automation is worth it if you can make full use of it, this operation obviously can't. Rather I'd ask if it's worthwhile to arrange a short production run somewhere where there is a automatic bottling line. Different goo, different label, but a bottle is a bottle.
Love seeing operations like this. People working efficiently and hopefully making good money at it. Well done sir.
If the only complaints you get are about breakages, then business-wise the product itself is doing excellent.

You guys are the backbone of the economy. Wish you all the success and growth in the world! However...never forget where you started from.
You know it’s a great manufacturing process when you see toddlers working in the garage
Here is a good tip for testing your product packaging for shipping. Put it in a box that is too big for the product so it can move around in the box. Then stand at the top of your driveway and throw the box to the curb. Repeat this 4 times. Note, this test is invalid if your driveway is not more than 20 feet. Anyway, this toss will happen about 4 times when in the hands of UPS or FedEx as it makes its way through their system on and off the trucks.
You're a real one. Thanks for these tips
😂😂😂😂
I used to work for UPS, trust me it’s more than 4 times 😂
I doubt my packaging would survive that test, yet USPS, Fedex and DHL still handle with *enough* care that the boxes arrive in good shape. UPS, not so much 😂
More like a reason why UPS and FedEx should be avoided at all costs.

scorchmarker.com/collections/makers-magic/products/makers-magic
The BIG problem is the foil seal is not easy to remove. Put a tab on it to grasp and peel off.
I work in the packaging industry that does this, but at a very much larger scale. Adding a pull tab with induction sealer is, not great; you can do those tri tab sometimes, but honestly those kinda suck. But you'll likely have quality issues with just getting a proper seal. Most of the pull tabs that you see that are good are done using thermal (not induction), but seal would need to apply to jar first then cap applied.
You can pop it open with a knife,pen,finger etc...not that hard to open at all.🙄🤣

With very little extra cash and a bit of programming you could make a fully automated line and save you both having to pack by hand
You underestimate how much the component costs to make an automation-capable assembly line
@@BunToomo Totally depends on the through-put (required parts per hour), process, product requirements, and quality control. A lot of this could be could be done with 1 or maybe 2 robots (Used robots) if I spent any more time thinking about it. 1 Robot 30k-ish, 2 robot 40k ish. Like I said depends on how many required per hour. 100% worthwhile if you're planning on doing production for a long period of time, especially if the demand will increase. I see at least 3 people working full time. How much is your time worth is the real question. If it's better spent elsewhere, it's 5000% worth it. Will pay for itself within half a year to a year, just guessing as I don't know anything about this business but it looks pretty labor intensive.
Most people in automation are automotive based (my origins as well) which requires extreme accuracy, specialized equipment, and has a lot of paperwork and extras attached where as stuff like this can be done pretty dang cheaply (compared to a normal automotive job regardless of the type of job).
