Custom t-shirt Makers?

[kovalchuk71 212]

Hey guys I am looking to get some t-shirts made up that I have designed for my brother's hockey team. What are some places that you guys have had success with? Im looking for good quality printing (like the ones you buy from the store). Any reccomendations? Thanks

go to your local screen printer. look them up in the phone book. there's bound to be a few to choose from. that is the easiest thing to do. you will most likely have to pay a screen charge, but that is common.

Screen Printing will get me the commercial look right? Im looking for what retailers put on their shirts...

Silk ccreening is the common method and it won't crack and fade as easily.

If you just want them on the cheap, 1 design, 1 color, no hassles, go to cafepress.com and upload your image.

No, I want high quality ones.

If there's nobody local, I had a lot of success making t-shirts for events in college with Customink.com

screen printing is what you want. that is how the retail shirts are done. a good printer will be able to do a wide range of styles.

the professionals uses screen printing and a heat press. They print the shirts then use a heat press to give them that look. I know my friend does it and he charges very little for it the only problem is he does it in Albany and he will be leaving soon for his internship in NYC otherwise I would give you out his information and maybe you two could have talked about shipping. I can talk to him soon if you would like and see what his schedule is like, but we are all pretty busy because its finals week.

Bumping this. Any good sites for custom embroidery on Polo shirts? Im going to look local, but I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with some good sites.

I always wanted to make a few hockey ones to wear to rinks, but never actually got motivated to find a printer either.

Here are some I just threw together on paint. Nothing special, but kinda have the Famous look to them except with hockey.

I don't know if you want to be making apparel with someone's trademarked logos...

[JR Boucicaut 3802]

Yeah, I mean really...no shirtmaker would touch that with a 10' pole.

You are MUCH, MUCH better doing this locally. You'll want to interact with the embroiderer, see and TOUCH samples, and be able to handle any changes, errors, or anything else that comes up immediately and not 2-3 days' shipping away.

I set him up with a MSHer who has handled our embroidery needs.

I've had a lot of good luck with www.customink.com. I've gotten tees and sweatshirts from them for my beer league and middle school teams. They even have Dri-Fit type shirts...
