If you are reading this, you are looking for a great shirt to put your logo or design on. Look no further. We are here to help. We have been creating/designing/printing T-Shirts for over 15 years. We know our shirts.
“Best Shirt” is “Subjective”. Some people like “heavy” t-shirts others like “Retail Feel Lighter Weight T-Shirts”. We carry both. But we prefer the “light weight soft feel” shirts. You want to consider a few things before you purchase shirts.
Who is getting the shirt? You may need a large “size variety” S-6XL or Youth & Adult Sizes
What needs to go on the shirt? Imprint locations and colors of imprint play a part (see our imprint methods here)
How do we want the shirt printed? Fancy shirts stick around longer, a small investment on the front end can lead to large results
How do we want the shirt to feel? Soft is important, nothing excites us more when someone says “I love the way this shirt feels!”
And most importantly How soon do we need the shirts? Turnaround time is everything, give your self a minimum of 14 business days, just to be safe.
All of these play a crucial role in the decision of what is the “Best T-Shirt?”.
Here we are going to give an overview of the different types of T-Shirts available,Top 7 Regular T-shirts, T-Shirt Features, Cost of T-Shirts and imprinting methods.
How Much Do Custom T-Shirts Cost?
Pricing on T-shirts is based upon style of shirt, imprint colors and imprint locations. With that said, if you are looking for the “El Cheapo Grande Special”. As long as you are ordering a minimum of 24 units, you can get a GREAT Shirt for approx. $7.00 per unit and that INCLUDES a 1 color imprint in 1 location. However, the more shirts you order, the better your pricing gets. If you have a project you wanted quoted, just let us know “GET QUOTE”.
Let’s say you wanted to get a small order of shirts with a lot of colors imprinted in several locations and you still want them to look great. If it’s under 100 units, we recommend “Direct to Garment Printing”. This print method uses a machine to lay down all of the colors vs. traditional screen print. It’s very cost effective when you don’t need a lot of shirts, but you need a LOT of colors.
The best style of shirt to use for this method is 100% cotton. You can use others, but your colors may not look how you expected.
