What are you using to catch shirts?

[im_mcguire]

I am a one man shop, and on my larger orders, I find myself having to change out the boxes for the different sizes quite frequently to allow the shirts to just drop in the box.
I want to know what people are using for the end of your conveyor to allow your shirts to just fall into?

Thanks!

I use a 'garment runner'

We're using a very big box. In the end of the run someone will go and separate all the shirt sizes. Not the most efficient solution but it works.

we have a garment runner at the end of each dryer, but also a catcher who jumps between each

We have a big azz tote at the end of our dryer, works just fine

People. Well you asked

I built a super simple 2x4 frame on casters, then got a big piece of industrial canvas and made a sort of bin out of it.  Along the top I attached snap buttons with corresponding pieces on the frame so I can take it off and shake out the lint or even wash it when necessary (rarely).  It holds around 350-400 shirts without issue and is the exact width of my dryer and just tall enough to slide under the end when not being used.  I have seen people use rigid plastic totes (what I orginally used) and boxes and wood crates, but they get dusty easily and suck to clean.  The casters are super nice to have as well for big runs.

40 gallon tote on the wheels (Biggest one I could find).
I'm single man shop and that works well for me. 50-60 shirts are fine, maybe even more before I need to empty it.

People... but I think you mean something else. We also have a box which is as wide as the end of the belt, for when someone isn't there. If you raise it a bit off the floor, it's easier on your back, but holds fewer shirts before they overflow...

Big plywood bin on casters, but people whenever possible. Sorting shirts out of the box sucks, we usually make note of size changes and empty the box of bunches of shirts in their respective sizes to help speed things up.

I agree on emptying between sizes on large runs.  Saves a lot of time.

Last larger shop in which I worked made big boxes on wheels out of melamine covered particle board (easy to keep clean)

These canvas laundry baskets look like they fit the bill as well

120 gallon live stock water bin from tractor supply.

Large container with wheels.
Slides right under the dryer belt. Have about a dozen, so when you start a new size you just slide the empty bin under the belt.
And with having a lid, they also work good for stacking shirts on for loading.
