Custom made t-shirts

[Dar]

Suggestions for who to use? Cafe press?

[wicked]

full color digital or one or more color screen printing? What quantity?

[emmajoan]

if it's under a quantity of 10, I like CafePress, or CustomizedGirl (if it's girl shirts- obviously). VistaPrint also does shirts if you need them a little more inexpensively.

[Dar]

I'd like to put a picture on it. And I'd need 11, all different sizes.

Check your local printers first, many of them now have that capability and have no shipping charges.

I've only made one, a tank that said Mrs. Schmetzer, for after our wedding. I did it at Cafe Press and I was very happy. It's still in very good shape.

:agree: I'd try a local printer.

I was going to suggest a local printer/embroidery shop too. My bestie's family has an embroidery/print shop and their prices are so reasonable. Before they opened it, I always thought it would be expensive and a pain to go in and get one shirt done, but it's not at all.

The beauty of a local printer is you have a connection and that printer will work with you to achieve what you want. It gives you much more control on the finished product. The shirts are frequently better quality too.

A local printer wants $30 per t-shirt. :indiff:

[ang]

Really? :indiff: Around here you can get them heat pressed for just a few dollars a shirt if you provide the shirt. I'm not sure how much the going rate is if they provide the shirts.

[Amy]

Dang. We got hoodies for cheer for like $25 each and t-shirts for maybe $15.

Those are cute! I'm glad you found a local place to do them cheap.

[Kerri G.]

That turned out great. Did you wind up using a local printer?
