Just when we thought the 50 tote bags were ready, misaligned screen prints and mismatched bag models turned our relief into late-stage chaos. With a strict 36-hour deadline looming, we tracked down a local printer who pulled off a three-hour miracle, leaving us to fix the stitching issues. The team rallied at 9:00 AM, salvaged 18 bags, completely restitched the remaining 32 from scratch, and completed quality checks to pack the entire order right on time.
