Members trevcda Posted November 10, 2010 Members Share Posted November 10, 2010 I've used www.zazzle.com on several occasions. Not quite as good as a screen print, which I have done locally, but to maintain a no-stock store and do specialized one or two and just have a convenient place to sell multiple garments, styles and sizes, they're hard to beat.

Members rhat Posted November 10, 2010 Members Share Posted November 10, 2010 seems a little expensive, no? You have to figure that you have artwork , and burning a screen and set up costs and clean up costs after they print the shirts. That first shirt is expensive. 200 isnt a huge run of shirts. the more you buy the better price you are going to get up to a point. the guy has to make money.

Members trevcda Posted November 10, 2010 Members Share Posted November 10, 2010 if they dont do screen printing, what do they do? Honestly I'm not sure what the process is. I think they call it digital printing. The end result is pretty good but not as vivid as traditional screen printing. But to be fair most of what I've done has been white on a black shirt which is probably hardest to get right even with regular screen. But you can have them print a single shirt for a reasonable price with a quick turn around time to see if it works for you. As I said before, if the method works for you, you can set up a store on thier site that allows you to give fans easy access to any number of designs and allows you to set your profit margins. The downside is that you won't get that impulse purchase at the gig. But you can order as many as you need to cover that scenario as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SunRaFan Posted November 10, 2010 Members Share Posted November 10, 2010 I looked into doing shirts for my last band. Unless you are going to be able to move >100 quickly, it doesn't really make much financial sense. For our genre, shirts were never going to sell fast enough, so it was never going to work.

Members Rezrover Posted November 10, 2010 Members Share Posted November 10, 2010 Making money off of shirts was never our goal. Having a promotional tool to give a potential place to play was. Plus it's nice to have our shirts show up at a gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members maxnew40 Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 You are going to have a hard time getting a good quality printed T-shirt for $4 with a quantity of only 50 shirts. You can bring the cost down some by using crappy nearly see through t-shirts but I would't use that low quality stuff unless they are going to be just given away for free. I use contagious graphics and also a local guy, but we end up paying around $6 for a quality shirt in lower quantites like yiou are talking about.

Members Inazone Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 I don't remember what our per-shirt cost came out to, but we did four- or five-color artwork on black shirts at http://www.contagiousgraphics.com and even then, it was very affordable. The quality is fantastic. I would suggest at least checking out their pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members maxnew40 Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 We use the highest quality black T-shirt with one color printing from contagious. We have ordered from them several times and the quality has been top notch. They are also really easy people to work with! THose higher weight Ts are great, I see people wearing shirts they bought 3 or 4 years ago and they still look good. Keep in mind that shipping charges add to your cost.

Members Inazone Posted November 15, 2010 Members Share Posted November 15, 2010 what shirts did you go with from contagious and how were they? I believe they were Gildan 100% cotton. I was particularly impressed with how accurate the colors were on the shirts compared to the image we provided. They look every bit as good as anything I see sold in stores and at concerts. We only did about 50-60 shirts, and even with 4-5 colors, the shirts were definitely under $7 each and maybe right around $6. We paid more for ~50 two-color shirts from a local guy, and they didn't turn out nearly as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SLY_Z_28 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 FIY, we ordered shirts from UBmerch.com. we ordered 50 tshirts, Gilden 50/50 Cotton shirts with 1 color, one side for $218 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratGuy22 Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 The cheapest we ever found shirts, was $6.50 a shirt, one color, with each additional color being $0.25 minimum run of 65 shirts. Great guy, but he doesn't do it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oregonjoe Posted December 24, 2010 Members Share Posted December 24, 2010 I make my own custom shirts myself. I bought a heatpress and print onto transfer material using a cheap epson inkjet printer. I use lighter colored shirts but the transfers are what ever you can print.
