I want a simple shirt created for my arcade wich contains: my site logo (with two colors) my site url in one of the logo colors my site slogan in the other logo color and a couple of small words at the top.. its basically to start promoting my arcade again.. I don't want to take a big risk, so I need a $100 or $200 minimum shirt company, anyone know of any good ones?
If you really want to do it the low cost way, goto Office Depot and pick up a pack of blank T-Shirt iron-ons and make up your own design and print them yourself. You can get a pack of ten sheets for about ten bucks.
Do you know how I can create them? Are the tools expensive? I checked out CafePress.com and definitely bookmarked it, I will probably open up a shop with them, sounds like a nice idea. The only problem is the prices, a shirt costs $13.99! Yeah, why?
Custom Ink seems cool. I am going to give them a try soon. They have a cool t-shirt builder online where you can upload your logo and see how it looks on a tshirt
I checked it out, it does look nice and there is a chance I would order from there as well! P.S. CafePress.com has the same option!
If you already have the design for the shirt you just load it into a paint progam and print it out with any ink-jet printer and then cut out your design and iron it on to a t-shirt.
Shoemoney had a blog on cheap shirts... found it here: http://www.shoemoney.com/2006/07/18/new-shoemoney-compressed-shirts-from-295-guys/ -Tony
Yeah I already saw that, but the minimum order is HUGE! I think I'll wait a while! Anyway I opened a store with CafePress and ordered a few T-Shirts and custom caps! Should be here in the week or so!
We do manufacture custom t-shirts, and promotional products. We have reasonable prices, but our minimum order quantity is 500 pieces (for t-shirts). We mostly manufacture for large campaigns and companies. I can do a favor for DP members, and offer less quantities. Please pm me for further information. matt
That site looks a lot better than CafePress.com! I was about to pay them a premium fee to, oh well not anymore (for the store) Thanks!
I got compressed and beefy-T so it was a bit more in price and I also had to order 1,000 BUT if you just get there normal 2.95 shirts then I dont know if there is a quantity. Call them and tell them shoemoney sent you and I said "dr smooth" will hook you up.... seriously. ohh and if that doesnt work for you let me know I have a place in minnisota that i normally use but I REALLY wanted the compressed shirts so thats why i went with these guys from 295
lol, fine I will on Monday during normal business hours..dr. smooth.. I really want those compressed tshirts, they look really nice!
I ended up going with Abbot Wear for my shirts. For the small quantity I ordered (4 dozen to start) they beat everyone's price at $7.15 per shirt. they are 100% cotton with 4 color print. If you call, ask for Tammi, she was very helpful.
I know you said custom designs are too much work, but if you make the design on a 8.5 x 11 inch design in PS at 300 DPI, you can easily print it out and just use a pencil to make four corner edges where the edge would go so it is perfectly in line, and you do it on a needed basis. You can probably buy the shirts for $6 each, and its about $1/special print paper. I don't think it is that hard.
