Where do you get your shirts printed?

[Prestige-Lawncare]

Just wondering ... where do most of you guys who have t-shirts for you and your employees get them printed? Do you have a local shop do them ... order them online from someone who offers screen printing? And about how much do you pay?

Also ... feel free to describe what your shirts say, and what color you like best. I am planning on keeping mine pretty simple ... may a smaller name or logo on the left front, and maybe something a little bigger on the back.

What a better place to get info and ideas then from the people who work in this field for a living, and as a business owner. As someone who has been part-time for a while, '07 will be my first year as a full timer. I believe in image ... and this, in my opinion makes for a better, professional image.

The shirts aren't as crisp as I would like them, butI don't think a customer would ever judge them as second rate. I choose them because I could go full color at a reasonable rate in small quantities.

I ordered 10 tshirts some long some short, and 2 sweatshirts and the total was about $220. A local shop qoted me $400 in set up fees alone! then a per shirt charge of 15.00. I love to shop locally, but I cna't afford local printing.

Front: small logo on breast

Back large logo with company name, Phone number, slogan and web site.

the place im ordering from is www.shirtmagic.com

They seem affordable, 10 short sleeve shirts with 4 lines on the back in one color is $8 a shirt. it gets cheaper the more you order. the cool part is you can design the shirt on thier site so you know what it will look like before it gets printed.

I get mine local. I have the good T-Shirt Material Collared shirts with my Logo Enbrodiered on the front for about $14 per shirt and I am getting 24 T-Shirts for $8.50 a shirt. Logo on left chest and Large Logo on the back. No set-up fee and no screen printing fee. Even have mixed up the sizes.

I found (and this may not be for everyone) that working with my local guy is cheaper in the long run for the products and services that I get because I do not have to deal with shipping costs and I can call him and get a small quanity at the same price as the larger quanity after the initial order is done.

I have found that purchasing the clothing myself and taking it to the shop is the cheapest for me.
I purchase the polo's for $8.00 and Sweatshirts for $9.00 at walmart and then take them to the embroidery shop and have them embroidered for $4.00 per piece.
Doing it this way allows me to see the shirts quality and size rather than ordering from a catalog. The quality is good for the price is decent seeing they get trashed pretty quickly.

ii thought about doing this, but they still wanted to charge me just as much. i should also add that for my next set, i will be using someone local who is less than one mile from me.

I have not ordered from them yet but my friend uses http://www.queensboro.com/new/
exclusively & i can attest to the quality. No setup fees for most logos, free embroidery with shirt purchase & free shipping over $99. I think they send you an emboidered sample if you order larger quantities too but i'm not sure.
as soon as i finish my logo design i am ordering for 2007 season.
hope this helps.

I know this thread is old, but I was wanting to know how did your order come with queensboro? Was the the expirence worth it. How was the product and if you remember, what shirts did you go with....One more thing, have they last long?

Thanks, I was thinking of buying from them but am waiting on my logo to get done.....Any help would be really great....

I have used Queensboro for 2 seasons now and I have been happy with them. The main reason is there are only 4-Piece Minimums, FREE Logo Set-Up, FREE Embroidery, and
FREE Printing. Quality of the shirts and hats were good last year, but I haven't received this years order yet, which is different than what I did last year. The downside is the selection is kind of limited. I haven't always been able to find exactly what I want. If you are making larger orders I would check out http://www.embroiderysuperstore.com. I almost went with them this year but they have 12 piece minimum, which is a little high for my needs this year. They have a much larger selection though.
