Custom T-Shirts Manufacturers

Discussion in 'General Business' started by Blitz, Sep 16, 2005.

    I'm looking for the cheapest custom t-shirt manufacturer? I would need a few designs to start with as samples. I've seen cafe press in another thread, but $14/shirt is far too much for me.

    Does anyone know any?

    It usually depends on how many you're looking to make.. I've seen bulk orders of 200+ as low as a few dollars each. Also depends on how many colors you're using, etc.

    It also depends on the quality of the t-shirt you choose as well. I had 100 shirts made up for my website. They are 5 color and on good quality stock. My cost, with shipping, was pretty reasonable. If you want, I can put you in touch with the guy that did them.

    Thanks for the help!
    I am based in UK, but really looking for an internet supplier instead of telephone. I've emailed some Thailand firms as I'm pretty sure they'll be cheapest. I'll update on prices.

    Ideally, I'm looking for 10 different samples to start with, so I can gather quality of stitching and fabric, printing quality, how it handles washes ect. Then I guess I'll be after 10-20 of each design, and see how it goes from there. If they can dropship, even better :)

    I used zazzle, they have a good discount for a lot of tshirts... shirts handle washing excellent but prints could look better. Expensive too. $20 for a dark shirt.. with discount it depends how many you buy.

    Use a local shop. You can find screen printers that do shirts in most any town.

    I contacted a local shop fist, and found them considerable more expensive, nearly times as much!

    We have several. You can get cheap shirts for like 5$. I pay $7.50 for hanes with a pocket, text over pocket and 4 color screen on the back.

    It helps if there is competition apparently.
