Finding Better Clothing and Accessories

If your business needs custom t-shirts, you will want to make sure that you get the best shirts for your budget. In order to make sure that you avoid potential problems when ordering these shirts, you will want to be aware of these tips when you are starting the process of ordering your shirts.

Order a Sample

Prior to committing to a large order of shirts, you should make it a point to do a small test order of a shirt for each fabric and color combination that you are considering. This will allow you to verify the quality of the ink, the vibrancy of the colors, and the quality of the fabric. While it might add a negligible cost to ordering your shirts, the benefits of being sure that the shirts will meet your requirements can be a minor expense.

Opt for High-Quality Fabrics

Reducing the cost of ordering these shirts is a key concern for any business owner. Yet, this can lead to the mistake of opting for the cheapest fabric that the shirt maker has available. While this will lower the initial order price, it can result in shirts that are not as durable as they could be. For business owners that plan to use these shirts for uniforms, it could result in higher replacement costs. By opting for a high-quality fabric, you can minimize the need to for your employees to replace their shirts. If you are unfamiliar with the various fabrics that are available to you, there are many custom shirt printers that will provide you with samples of the fabrics so that you can know which will provide the type of quality that your shirts demand.  

Know the Difference Between Screen and Digital Printing Techniques

Many people assume that screen printing is the only available option for creating these shirts. Yet, technological advances have also made it possible for digital printing to become a viable option. This printing technique can be ideal for shirt designs that require highly detailed or particularly intricate graphics. However, this type of printing technique can be more costly. For instances when you need little more than a logo, basic text and simple images, screen printing may more than meet your needs. Also, screen printing techniques can deposit more ink on the fabric, which will help to increase the durability of the shirt. Therefore, businesses wanting to use these shirts for uniforms may want to opt for screen printing even if it requires reducing the complexity of the shirt's design.
