A while back, I wrote a series of posts about how to get t-shirts printed. There were posts about apparel and fabric, different types of printing, what designs work best on different types of tees, really juicy stuff like that. Don’t go looking for them, they’re gone. I took them down (gasp!). Instead, I thought […]

Did you know that it takes 713 gallons of water to make just one cotton t-shirt? Okay, well maybe that statistic is somewhat skewed because no one manufactures just one t-shirt. What it’s really about is the water that it takes to grow the cotton. It’s a lot. It’s still a scary proposition for our […]
Super Secret T-shirt Marketing Tip: Neck Tags Picture this scenario. You’re all set up at the local music festival, selling your fantastically-designed t-shirts from your swanky, well-branded booth. Wait, what’s this? You have a sale! Someone just walked away with your well-crafted tee and paid you real money for it. High five, you! They get […]
How many shirts do you buy for your event? As an apparel brand, how many t-shirts should you add to your inventory? Even if you know the total amount of shirts you want, how many mediums do you need? How many larges? Every person who gets t-shirts printed has to ask these questions. At some […]
Shiny things are cool. And though I love my shiny things, I never really thought to print in metallic before. One day a regular client of ours texted me a photo of a singer on stage wearing a tee with an extremely shiny silver image on it. I couldn’t really tell what the image was, […]

And yes, we had someone remove their clothing for […]
Designing and selling t-shirts is super easy! Just ask anyone who has ever stood in a sun-facing booth at an outdoor festival and watched 1,000 people walk right past their apparel without a glance. Okay, it’s not always that bad. At least it doesn’t have to be. Some of our best apparel clients have been […]

How much do t-shirts cost?

If an extra-terrestrial beamed down and asked, “How much do humans weigh?” your answer would probably start with, “Well, it depends…” Then again, if an extra-terrestrial asks you how much humans weigh, I would be seriously […]
You can have my shirt when you pry it off my cold, dead torso. That’s how strongly I feel about the Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex tee. In fact, it’s our go-to shirt for screen printing. Here’s Bella’s description of this awesome tee: This updated unisex essential fits like a well-loved favorite, featuring a crew neck, short sleeves […]
Is that a weird question? I mean, after all, it says, “vegan” on it. Of course it’s vegan. It’s right there in the phrase. Yup, I get it. Except I’m not talking about the message printed on the shirt. I’m asking what’s behind the printing of that shirt. Is it vegan? Before we get into some answers, let’s […]
