Put Your Company Logo on Cotton!
Ordering custom t-shirts is easy: you can contact a localprinter to make them, or you can design and order them online.There are several websites that have t-shirt design interfacesin which you can design and order your t-shirts entirely online.Whatever type of company you choose, however, you will want tomake sure that the process they use is screen-printing ratherthan heat transferring because the prints will last longer andlook more professional.
Because printing prices can vary drastically, you should getquotes from several different companies before ordering. Thebenefits of ordering online include convenience, not having topay taxes on the goods, and in some cases, complimentaryshipping. The benefits of using a local screenprinter includebeing able to see the goods before you purchase them, andperhaps, speaking directly with the artist.
