The place over on Glendale is closed.

DRRRRAAAAG!!!!
Bad sign of the economy...yet again!

I sent a PM to someone here that sells Tee's through a fulfillment place, I'll update when I know more.

The company is CafePress.com : Sell Your Designs, Photos and Images on CafePress.com : Design & Sell Merchandise it looks like we can set up a "store", design our tee's and then they do the rest. I haven't read through all of it yet but on the surface it sounds like it would work for us. The price will probably be higher than doing a bulk order through a local place.

I'll do some more poking around on their site later.

Here's a local place, I don't know anything about them beyond the web site:

Contact Us | Blue Moon Advertising and Promotional Products

Also, someone was doing printing at my kids' last karate tournament, if he's there again I'll try to get a card.

Can also talk to my friend that owns Vital Signs down here in Carson if you guys have logo and everything already picked out. They did an awesome job on my wife's business cards and were pretty inexpensive.

I'll actually be going to a place here in Reno in the next week or two, for blotch t shirts and was planning on finding out what the damage would be on the bbcnn tees, hats and sweatshirts.
A friend of mine owns a pest control biz and has his stuff done there. He also had last years blotch tees done there an were pretty reasonable.

Maybe we should think about some new artwork???
Just thinking out loud here.

I'll throw my 2 cents in: I'd like to see dark grey or black shirts as an option. Light beige and light grey look good for about 3-hours.

All can be discussed at the meeting tomorrow!

If we're thinking about new art work, I'll hold off in the tee printing then till a vote is made.

Start thinking of ideas...

So I stopped by the custom caps and tees place today...
For 50/50 cotton tees the cost is 12.50 a piece w/ an order of 20. Hooded tees are 20-25 based on quality of sweat shirt.

Texted Shawn, he said that sounded like a good price...

Any other input?

Since you asked : Poly-Cotton blend tees suck. Just saying.

What's that mean?

 

[spressomon]

100% heavy cotton is most comfie & durable. Worth more to me.

They have varying fabrics...
Just didn't know the difference. Assuming that was the cheapest option.

 

[spressomon]

I still have 20+ year old Hanes Beefy T's (the cotton tee benchmark back in the day; USA made 100% preshrunk cotton) that are still going...barely but still going


I have a couple of HDC tees (High Desert Cruisers). One color ink front and back...100% preshrunk cotton and good overall screen quality. I think they sold them to non-members for $15 so they must have gotten a pretty good deal on them. We could ask Ali or Shawn about their source if there isn't a good local source...just another option.

 

[chicago]

BTW...to update the t shirt status...
I went to the shop today and asked about 100% cotton...
75 cents MORE per t shirt.

Not too bad.

 

[gregnash]

That's not to bad and I agree with Spressomon, the extra weight is well worth the cost in a much more comfortable shirt.
