T-shirts & hats!!!

[TOY350]

OK, here's the skinny folks; there are 2 places in town here for shirts I checked out. Pricing as follow is for screen printing that will be fairly thick except there will be no printing for the green areas of the logos because the green shirt will work there. This is for a large 12" logo on the BACK of the shirt and a one color pocket size print on the front. The front we can either do JSC J.S.C. or JxSxC in gold OR have our logo outlined in just gold on the front. The smallest we can go without making new artwork would be a child Small. No toddler shirts.

Body Cover:

Artwork Setup Fee: $135 to $150
Green 100% Cotton Gildan shirts 25-48 ordered: $11.99


Imprints:

Artwork Setup Fee: $65 to $75
Green 100% Cotton Gildan shirts 25-30 ordered: $13.30
Green 100% Cotton Hanes Beefy T 25-30 ordered: $15.25

ANOTHER OPTION: At Imprints we can have the artwork printed digitally with a light and almost unnoticeable feel. BUT we can only go with light colored shirts: white, grey, mint, powder blue, etc. I got a shirt done at Cafepress.com and I put it on white. The feel is awesome but it was $23 shipped to the door and I think we can get better quality and pricing from Imprints. The pocket logo on this would be the TLCA logo which we have permission to use. It would be $13.85 for white shirts and $16.00 for the gray. No artwork setup fee for this either. Keep in mind any 2XL shirts are more no matter what options you choose.

Lastly:

We can get hats done at Imprints as well with our logo embroidered on the front. It is a one time $75 charge to setup the art for stitching. Hats (tons of choices) would run about $15 each after that and we can pick and choose whatever hats we want, basically mix and match as long as we keep the color of the hat similar so they don't have to change out thread colors. I am thinking dark green hats would look sweet.

My choice would be white shirts with the digital printing for a better feel and good price. Spend club money on the $75 embroidery charge and have green hats made to order. My $.02

[knoll0351]

Seconded!

[Kief]

Either one. My only thought is if I wanted to buy a sweatshirt I would want a darker color- I tend to get light colors dirty quick..

[Kief]

Thanks for looking into this G..

I say we start with shirts and maybe sweaters. I'd rather have a sweater or hoodie than a hat anyway.

I think that the lighter shirt is the way to go.

[TOY350]

I will check on digital printing on sweatshirts. I know a thick ink job on a sweatshirt is fine cuz you wouldn't feel it but that would cost us to set up the screens which we don't need to do for the white or light shirts.

Looks great, can we get a sample from them? I like the hat idea, but I never wear hats : (

Do they have examples of the two style shirts (good pics examples)? I'd like to see the difference in the two concepts.

2 styles as in the Gildan vs. Hanes or the screen vs. digital printing? The shirts are almost identical just a slight diff in color and quality. The printing is the big difference. I have a Cafepress one that is digitally printed and it looks good. I don't have a screened one yet obviously....ah I will take a pic and be back in a few.

[TOY350]

OK...no idea if you guys will be able to SEE what I am explaining. The 80 series shirt is screen printed and the image is very thick to the touch, so much so that I never wear the shirt because it causes me to sweat like I have a vinyl logo adhered to my back. The JSC shirt (yes it's messed up but they are sending me a new one and I get to keep the mess up) is digitally printed and you almost can not feel the image. Now the 80 image, although thick, has a gloss to it and is very bold. The JSC image is printed into the shirt I think, kind of like ink soaked into the material as opposed to a sticker applied to the back. So with the ink in the material you get a duller image and the lint and piling of the shirt comes off within the image just like the rest of the shirt. The 80 image will probably crack with age but will stay bright and not have any piling of material since it's like a sticker on top. I tried to crinkle up both shirts to show that the 80 shirt is a stiff printed image and the JSC just feels like a shirt.

Also note the TLCA logo on the JSC shirt, that's how I would want to print up our shirts if we go digital. If we go screens then it has to be a one color simple image on the front or the costs will go sky high. I really wanted a dark green shirt with the logo, but even more than that I don't want a shirt I won't wear because it sticks to my back. Sweatshirts and hoodies are fine though, they are too thick to notice the vinyl like print.

If the digital print quality is good enough for Garett, it's good enough for me! Can we mix and match the colors of the shirts in our order? IE I probably want grey, Rachael might want blue... etc.

[TOY350]

If we go with a digital run I will get all the colors available and let everyone pick and choose. White is cheaper by more than a couple bucks and I would assume all colors would be the same price as the gray.

Thanks for all the work Garett! I think my biggest issue is that I won't wear a white tshirt. It just doesn't happen : P
If we can get other colors I'm fine with it. A moderate grey will work for me.

[TOY350]

I will see if I can get a photo up of some color swatches, and no not the swatch watch you used to wear while blading Jerod.

Not to bring this back on subject or anything....


I stumbled across this site: Zazzle | Custom T-Shirts, Posters, Art and more...

Looks like it's a bit less than $20 for a t-shirt. *BUT* (here's the catch), you can add multiple images and place them just about anywhere on the shirt.

I think I'm gonna order a shirt and maybe a few stickers come Payday. I wonder what my design will be.....

[knoll0351]

Bastardo! How dare you bring me back from my rabit trail!

I notice they have a dark green but at a high price. Without screens I wonder if they are able to digitally print on the dark color. If you can make a dark shirt so we can see what it comes out like.

[knoll0351]

Sweet! It'd be nice to see how it turns out. Once we become a couple hundred members we can probably get shirts Jefferson State green and send those out for printing

[TOY350]

Here are the color swatches available for digital printing, the ones with the X next to it. The fourth green from the left on the bottom has an X under it too. Color names/codes are as follows from left to right on the left page first (just like reading a book if you remember how ) WHITE 30N YELLOW HAZE 03C ICE GREY 23C ASH 93H NATURAL 31N VEGAS GOLD 19C SAND 38C SERENE GREEN 04C LIGHT BLUE 69C LIGHT PINK 20C

[TOY350]

OK there is not minimum to digital printing and there isn't a setup fee. We print what we want when we want. We can do hoodies but they have to be those light colors as well and I don't have pricing on them but they should be a bit more than the screened hoodies.

If we have screens made $75 or so then we have to have a 24 piece minimum order. This order can be shirts and hoodies combined. Hoodies of the Hanes Ultimate Cotton variety run $27.55 and the same hoodie zip up runs $32.90. Shirts again are $15.25. The pocket logo will be one color, probably yellow either with JSC initials or a yellow outline of our logo.

Digital is $13.85 for white $16.00 for color shirts and it's the JSC logo on back and the TLCA logo on front in 4 color.

I don't know if we want to get the screens done or not OR if we want to get the embroidery setup for hats and other things either. NO minimum on embroidery work either.

Let's put it this way, I am going to order some digital print shirts since there isn't a minimum so those of you who want some give me sizes and colors and I will put in one order. We will have to discuss the other options since artwork setup fees are involved.

[knoll0351]

If the club has funds available I think that the embroidery would be a really good choice, it sounds like we can do digital instead of screens...

That was my preference but we should put it up as a vote or at least have the board vote.


On another note: COME ON PEOPLE WHERE'S THE INPUT!!! I plan on going down there and getting a few shirts made for me while the procrastinators sit and think then!

[Ebag333]

I ordered some bumper stickers and key chains from Zazzle since they were cheap and it's an easy way to see their quality.

Dunno about the quality yet, but they shipped the same day I ordered them, which is hugely impressive to me (especially given the time of year). I was expecting a several day turn around at least.

If those are halfway decent quality I'll probably order a shirt or something next payday. Funds got tight at the last minute since the is going out of town for two weeks.

Just eat Top Ramen for those 2 weeks and you'll have plenty of spending money that you don't have to explain

as long as I wear my shirts (into the ground) i dig having the light feel when I wear it, and when it becomes a rag I don't have to deal with the thick ink stuff. .02$

color is unimportant, I'll take a pull over hoodie when that comes around. XL on both.
