Promotional t shirts

[MrJuice]

Hello folks

We are getting t shirts made for promotional purposes and I'm surprised at how much this is costing

For front and back printing and a basic t shirt, cost is £7 or thereabouts. More for a better quality t shirt.

We'd be happy to place an order for 200+ t shirts but looking for a much keener price. Any pointers?

Printing is £2 per side so we will probably scale back and print on one side only but beyond that, costs seem pretty fixed.

£7 is cheap - the T shirt will be sub fruit of the loom I’d guess do get samples.

You could buy the shirts yourself to guarantee quality from Ralawise or Stanley & Stella then find a printer.

Workwear printers are very quiet right now try them

Speak to Clive at KC-workwear.com in Southport, he shoul dbe able to help.

£7 each printed both sides is CHEAP.

I used to do screen printing.

Imagine to have to have an operator set up, load, print, dry, re-load, re-print, dry, pack 200x. That's a lot of work.

[MrJuice]

okay

maybe I should rephrase this

what will be the cheapest way of getting our artwork on to a t shirt? Say one side only. Say 1000 pieces order in a variety of sizes. Quality can be low

thank you to the chap who emailed me. Partner will be in touch because he's got the artwork etc

[His Lordship]

What sort of artwork is it? just a logo, single colour?

The CHEAPEST option would be to buy iron-on transfers and apply them yourself with an iron.

[MrJuice]

thanks

it would be a logo with some text. logo does have two colours but we could make it one colour to save costs

iron on is an option maybe. i might even be inclined to buy a billy basic press because i think free t shirts is going to remain a thing for us so maybe there's some long term saving in buying a press
