How Start A T Shirt Company
Unique and custom gifts are always the most appreciated types of gifts nowadays, because human beings naturally want something that most people seem not to have, something unique. Printing t-shirt as a gift is easy using the new printing technology like direct-to-garment (DTG) printing machine. The most favorited design for unique gifts is a short and simple message for their special one. People love 'em!
There are two common ways in which T-shirt printing can be done - screen printing and digital printing. For screen printing the original design is firstly transferred onto a screen. The ink is then applied to the T-shirt through the screen. This technique is mostly preferred for bulk orders as it makes it is a very cost effective method of printing.
How about heat presses? A heat press is a machine that is exactly what its name implies, it is a heater that is pressed on to the shirt and transfers a design to the shirt. The transfer papers are printed, usually by a third party company, and then the ink is heated by the press and transferred in to the fibers of the shirt. This method has come a long way and I believe is the preferred method if you are starting up an at home T shirt business. There is also a new development with transfer paper that allows you to use a standard ink jet printer at home to print your own designs. This can be great to see exactly how your design will look on your shirt. With the price of presses dropping you could get in to this business for as little as $600.
You are as good as your printer: The printer you chose is perhaps the most important decision to make. Make sure that you have a look at your printer's previous works, or have a word with some of his customers. Another method to do this is to ask the printer for swatches of his previous work.
No matter what your finished design looks like, when you submit it you'll want to know that you've done your best, and that you're proud of it. You'll want your designs to be in with a shout of winning, so you'll need to work hard and stand out for the rest.
T-shirt design printing has gained popularity in a short span of time. T-shirt design printing is a very practical process that is easy to understand and implement. T-shirt printing is not anyone's cup of tea, but still some people find it interesting while some pursue it as a full-time career.
Share the Message: The unique design of your shirt, shoes or cap will spark a comment or compliment. This is your opportunity to start the conversation about Jesus and His message of love, hope and salvation. A t-shirt and five minutes could be all it takes to change a life!
