1. Limit the number of colors you wish to print. Fewer colors require fewer screen set-ups and less time to print additional colors.
2. Limit the number of locations on the tshirt. Additional screen and printing charges apply if you want to add additional locations.
3. Order white or light colored tshirts. Tshirt mills charge more for dark colors and printing on dark shirts often require printing a white "underlay" to avoid the dark tshirt color bleeding through the design.
4. The More You Buy, The More You Save. Order in large quantities and your price per tshirt can go down dramatically.
5. Do not compromise on quality - always order 100% cotton, and purchase brand name, heavyweight tshirts.
6. Pick a company you can trust. Seek out a company that offers a wide range of custom apparel and provides both screen printing and transfer technology tshirt services-without minimum order or set-up requirements. Look for real customer testimonials.
7. It is always suggested that you plan ahead and consider buying 10% more tshirts than you think you need. Our experience is that customers tend to under order as there are always add-ons to your recipient list-- particularly after they see the tshirts. Re-ordering is not always practical as the cost to set up a press for a small quantity may double the per unit cost of the tshirt.
