how should i go about producing my shirts with a small budget?
i am developing a clothing line and i need advice.... i currently have tons of desings and narrowed it down to a couple now im wondering how i should go about producing them, first i was thinking of just making some samples so i can get peoples reactions to them and go from there... so i tried to print it and do it myself and it looks cheap so i need to know an method that not to expensive and is still good quality.....
Re: how should i go about producing my shirts with a small budget?
yea thats what i was thinking and the contract part makes sense too.... and someone told me that on zazzle that they advertise your shirts on there to as well as producing them.... is that true?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum & good luck to you in business! I had the same problem starting out. I simply contracted my work out and got samples made of each design. I have a friend that works in the film industry with me to take the photos for my website. Again, good luck to you! I had to really shop around to several different local vendors in order to find the best deal. Also, I needed to find a vendor that didn't have a minimum. Again, good luck to you!

Hi
Yes, I have used zazzle many times to make samples sometimes they are not as meticulous with the centering of your image but you cannot beat the fact that you do 1 piece!!!!
Yes, you can make your designs "public" if you want and offer them for sale.
I never did this so I cannot really offer experience but I can say that they do offer that option should you choose it. You can also choose to keep all your designs private.
Zazzle is one of my favorites b/c of the low minimum and they seem to be one of the only sites that do black and dark colored shirts with minimum as low as 1 piece.
Re: how should i go about producing my shirts with a small budget?
well, the thing that i didn't like about 'em...was that you don't have contact information for the customers. if you ever want to break away from them...you don't have a client base. if i'm wrong...let me know. but, yeah the 1 piece minimum is great! also, i ordered a shirt from them a few years ago and it is like garbage now. the quality of the shirt was poor & the screen printed design faded after a few washes. perhaps, this had something to do w/the quality shirt the store owner selected in advance. the print fading...i don't know. and that was when i was on the consumer end. although, it has been a few years...maybe they've improved...????!!!???
