It’s a vibrant blue American Apparel v-neck t-shirt. I think that the official color is Neon Heather Blue. Anyway, whatever it’s called, I like it. It’s definitely a blue that I would wear and the poly-cotton blend is light and soft. Perfect for my climate (Okinawa is hot and humid). The print is perfect and light. The ink on the breasts of the tits (birds) is a little heavy but it is a small area. My guess is plastisol screenprint. I like the t-shirt but I don’t really understand the design. There are two cute birds on a wire with yellow breasts. These birds are around t...

We all love our T-shirts and want to make them last title . We want that concert tee to stay clear and vibrant. The problem is that prints can crack, flake, and wear away, or slowly fade with time like the memories of that concert. Meanwhile, the fabric gets roughed up, stretched, and discolored. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 What volumes are we talking about title . Your print number needs to be matched to an appropriate supplier. Speaking to a company which is small scale isn’t a good size match when you need hundreds, maybe thousands, of t-shirts printed. Along the same lines, companies which specialise in bulk/wholesale orders may not be overly enthusiastic when you finally inform them that six garments is your top limit. Best be up front and open about your requirements. Finding a firm which has a real feel for art and creativity is an integral part of choosing the right t-shirt printing company.

I decided to throw this t-shirt into a 40° cycle and see what happened title . I know, naughty and bad, but my thinking is sound.

And in my defence, the kingteeshops Creator t-shirt didn’t seem to mind. After washing, the cotton was still lovely and soft, and colour still ...

Printing t-shirts title . especially screen printing, is a craft. And, as with any endeavour which has an artistic element to it, expertise is born out of passion. When you love what you do, you tend to get good at it. Passion may not be obvious at first glance, but it’s usually pretty close to the surface. See if the company has a blog. How they write and talk about their trade will give you a good angle on how they go about their work. And check out their social media. That’s a great way for you to get a feel for how they feel about what they do. Where your prospective t-shirt printing partner is located won’t be an issue for everyone, but it could be a big deal for you. Geography matters if you want to arrange a quick meeting.

Local holds plenty of appeal and if that’s not an option, being located in an easily accessible place is the next best thi...

This may be established if you’re an existing business title . It may still be subject to interpretation when you’re a start-up or young company. Think about what you’re called and the colours that tie in with that. How any symbols or logos fit into the mix. Do they come together to conjure the image you need to convey? All of it needs to be comfortable with your branded merchandise. These may sound like the same thing, but there are definite differences. Character can be seen in terms of values. Are you environmentally aware and active? If so it may not have a bearing on what’s printed, but it will affect your choice of base garment. Sustainably sourced, ethically sound, organic or recycled t-shirts are where you should be. Personality can be viewed as tone. Maybe how you come across on social media. Formal or informal, studiously serious or always ready to smile. Sometimes both. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 Merchandising your bran...

For us here at kingteeshops. the story of customising clothes began over forty years ago in US title .

The website is clean and easy to navigate. It’s not obvious though that it is a t-shirt store when you hit the homepage title .

Hard work gets reliable results – loving what you do is what makes the results special. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 They charge US$32.99 including Free Worldwide Shipping. (Now 20% off for opening sale) title . I think I read somewhere that it’s better for sales figures to show prices without shipping and charge less rather than including the price of shipping in the product. If someone buys five shirts they are pretty much paying shipping for 5 separate items when shipping five t-shirts at once must cost less than shipping five separately. Anyway, the pricing is not so bad for the quality of the shirt and they detail they have put in but compared to typical souvenir shirts they are not cheap. You Can See More Product: category_link

In brief title . screen printing involves pushing ink through a mesh stencil onto the surface of the material. It’s fair to say that screen printing is an ancient art, even if t-shirt printing with screens is a relatively modern take on it. To put that last statement into context, printed tees began their unstoppable rise in the 1950s. Computerisation has made things faster and more accurate, but the essential nature of the process hasn’t changed. The main reason that screen printing has endured is that it has several advantages over other methods of customising clothes. Screen printing t-shirts is cost-effective and can produce large volumes in a quicker timescale compared to other types of personalisation. Screen printed shirts also wash well and expertly applied print is more durable. It is worth pointing out that screen printing incurs a set-up cost and small print runs work out more expensive.

Just like simple designs, basic colours are often the safest bet when it comes to printing t-shirts. Black and white are pretty hard to beat for broad appeal. Plus, white shirts are cheaper to print. Adventurous shades aren’t out of the question, you just need to be sure they’ll get a good reception. Ho...

To our way of thinking title . fighting sweatshops is an almost perfect embodiment of the punk ethos, which in itself has always been bigger than punk. Bands and business will get onboard because the world is changing and, nowadays more than ever, causes can become irresistible. It won’t happen overnight, but we think it’s going to make a difference. With growing awareness, the rejection of repulsive working practices will spread.
