Re: sack factory by Dennis Fielder 21 February 2011I worked at the Flexer paper sack factory they were also experimenting with making plastic sacks at the time, I worked in the production planning office I hated it and eventually you guessed it I got the sack !!! Re: sack factory by steve jepps 19 January 2021 9:15 AMI remember as a university student in the 1960s getting a holiday job at Flexer Paper Sacks. We would catch the partially complete sacks as they came off the machines and stack them on pallets, so that the fork-lift could take them through to the sewing room to be stitched across the bottom. It was a 60-hour week – five 11-hour shifts stacking sacks Monday to Friday, then five hours on Saturday morning doing maintenance on the machines. It was good money – around £20 a week as I recall.
