Newbie Affliction Clothing, Need Florida Dye House Screen Printer
Hello, I am in the process of starting a t-shirt- clothing business style like affliction clothing. It seems that all the businesses around me (Orlando, florida) are not offering everything I need. Does anyone no of a good local or place that I can get high quality screen printed t-shirts that is a complete dye house also with good prices. Someone said that Affliction clothing is done by JS Apparel, but it looks like JS apparel is only a dye house not a screen printer. So they get there t-shirts dyed and then printed at a different place of business. THANKS for any help and advie

Im in the same boat that your in. I started my own clothing line and been wondering how affliction and some of these other top clothing lines print their stuffs. I remember watching the tapout tv show and it looks like they do theirs in house. not sure about these other ones. Im also trying to find out who can print designs wrapping around the shirt.
Im trying to get a promo shirt done but the quotes im getting are all over the place for the same quantity, color, shirt style. its crazy.

Will guys, if getting Affliction clothes made was easy everyone here would have them too, there is Sunburst Apparel and Pacific Apparel that will do wide and over all prints.The dyeing and other things can be done elsewhere.Did you invest in a dremmel yet? Have you thought about buying silk screen equipment?

For me, at this point in time since im still getting it off the ground, i rather have someone else print the shirts and if God permits things go well then i will invest in those equipments. I have quite a few designs but wanted to start with a few so ive been getting quotes on screen printing but they are very limited on where on the shirt to print them. I see all these shirts w/ imprints all over the place. somebody has to print them unless its done in house. i did look up those 2 websites u mentioned. thank you.

Those are done by screen printers who specialize in either "all over" prints or other specialty prints. RawTalentInc.com can do prints like that.

Companies like Affliction, Ed Hardy, etc. who get their clothes cut and sewn by JS Apparel and other manufacturers purchase more than 50,000 or more pieces a month.
Rodney is right about the belt printing. Affliction is printed by Massive Prints, which specializes is oversize and allover prints, and has before Affliction was ever developed as a label. They use water based ink and print their stuff on M&R Belt Printers. These pieces of equipment cost a few hundred thousand apiece, and there are not many in the country, I believe.
And Affliction uses LA Wash and Dye House in Los Angeles. It's not local to you... but it might be hard to find local wash and dye houses that do what you are looking for. Maybe Miami?
It's expensive to manufacture, wash, dye, and print a shirt like Affliction with the same quality of Affliction.
