I used to LOVE going to a place with a big wall of mrs. grossman's stickers on the wall, it's a really fond childhood memory. Now as a graphic designer I was SO HEARTBROKEN to learn they were doing tours of their factory and I didn't get to go before they closed the tours and the company shifted most of their operations to wine labels where there was more profit. Seeing press people making my favorite childhood stickers and getting to ask them printing and design questions would have been an absolute dream. Thank you for making this video, it definitely soothed some of that heartbreak at least getting to see the presses run.
instanthorror really? It seems like fun tho? I guess all the chemical fumes can get annoying though.. did you work making stickers? (Sorry for all the questions, just curious)
Definitely NOT an Alien Yea I mean it was definitely interesting work, and I learned a lot from it, but it definitely was grunt work. What they don't show is you lifting 100+ pound spools of paper onto the spools. Would always have ink stained hands as well hah. The chemical fumes would stay in your nose for several days. It just wasn't worth it in the end, but was a good stepping stone to the graphic design work I do now. We did in fact print all different kinds of stickers and labels for a variety of products. We would also print packaging. Cool job, but not for the long run.
Interesting 😊 heres me thinking omg dream job! I love printing and graphic design. I guess its like any job, some ppl think i have the best job in the world (facepainting, body art, balloon twisting, giant bubbles etc at festivals and parties) but lately i find myself thinking dear god i hate this job- toilet scrubbing at a hotel after a curry festival would be better than this 😂😋
Your place of work sounds like it was horribly mismanaged. Lifting heavy rolls is NOT something you should be doing by hand. There is equipment for that sort of task. I've been in Labels and Packaging printing for over 10 years now, from Flexo to Digital, Sheet to Rolls. It's actually a fantastically easy job if your managers can do their job properly. Poor workflow management has been the number one issue for me in my career.
I did this job for 4 years right out of college. Can't remember much, nothing really stuck. Also, let's just take a second to appreciate the beat and cutting matching up at 2:53
Such an immensely satisfying video! I own some of those rainbow stickers. Hell, I own a LOT of the stickers shown here. I'm a lifelong sticker connoisseur.
My 1 regret was never getting a tour at Mrs. Grossmans factory! I've been there once but this was right after they stopped the tours and they had a huge warehouse sale. it was insane! so many stickers were outside in bins! each pack was 25 cents! I bought so many stickers that day! rolls of them! books of them! that's one thing I'm super happy I was able to do!
Mrs. Andrea Grossman started her company in 1979. Her then 11 year old son Jason was at the helm, both working and enjoying life, and running their business from their Petaluma, CA, USA kitchen table. When Mrs. Grossman's friend in Sausalito requested that she make an adornment for gift wrap, she developed her Big Beautiful Red Heart sticker, but the printer made a mistake, and put them on sticker rolls. She showcased her "Stickers by the Yard" the following year at a convention, and it was a big hit. Within 2 years she grew her business from 2 "employees" to 50, capitalizing on on what Time Magazine called "Stickermania". Years later, she capitalized on the growing scrapbooking trend, and now on the Bullet Journaling trend. Fast forward to July 31, 2019 - Mrs. Grossman still makes stickers in Petaluma, CA, USA, next to a nature preserve, where employees can bring their dogs to work, and the company donates 2 million stickers to hospitalized children - but have had to close Factory Tours, and their Retail Store - due to an inability for their insurance carrier to provide coverage for factory tours. The business is still open, and Mrs. Grossman continues to grow nationally, and internationally, with an increase in their online marketplace and presence, all the while preserving their relationship with the small, independent retail shops that made the brand grow years ago. Son Jason is now fully grown, and after growing his own business, and selling it (Paragon Labels, Business to Business) he heads Mrs. Grossman, as the real Mrs. Grossman enjoys retirement, and charitable projects, and the next big business idea! We love you Mrs. Grossman, and the wonderful stickers from our childhood, then and now.
we're chilling in her garage eating gummy bears and fudge stripes and i stg i've been chewing on them forever but anyways we're supposed to be in school oop lmao but this vid was p sicc
Every elementary school teacher's wet dream
Edgy “How It’s Made”.

lowkey thought this was acid
Diana m might be a cover up 👀
Flexographic printing is cool, but working in a big print shop like that sucked. Working with ink and chemicals all day, oh boy.

My uncle got health issues working there but oh well you gotta do, what you gotta do .

Mon Cheri Stickers are sad
same here... I loved stickers as a kid but I guess I never thought about the gloomy and mechanistic environment that produces them :(
@@SpikeShroom how soo?

Those stickers were cute.... I guess the makers loved their rainbow stickers.
those Mrs. Grossman stickers are so sweet, i have some on my bass like an octopus and planet
It's super fascinating to me how they overlapped the colors so they only needed to use 3 inks to get 5 colors! Clever.
Love the music

Does anyone know the track name played in this video?!

The sticker cutting machine didn't cut all of the square's perfectly. That's gonna hurt the OCD monster inside of me.
