Default Starting a Clothing Line. Help Needed

Well, I am starting an Urbanwear brand. If you don't know what that is, which everyone should, for example like echo, LRG, rocawear...etc.

I have many designs on paper and I am thinking of starting off going with Screen Printing. Do you members know of any good high quality/cheap screen printing sites that has no minimum either.

Sorry but usually high quality, cheap, no minimum, and screen printing
dont go in the same sentence.

How many designs do you have?
How many colors?

You may need to look at other methods of printing for those requirements. Some are higher quality than others.

Screen printing will always have a minimum order due to the setup process and printing process. It takes too much time to setup and print just "one" t-shirt. Screen printing is a high quality printing method that best setup for larger runs (at least 12+ pieces per design or more to make it effective).

Because it is setup for larger runs, the more t-shirts you run of the same design, the less expensive the per shirt costs will be to you. Basically, you get discounts for larger orders.

You can find a screen printer in your local phone book. Many of them have in house art departments that can help take your design on paper and turn it into a print ready design (for a fee).

You can also hire places like artworksource.com to do the artwork conversion for you.

Also look in the Referrals section of the forum for many screen printer recommendations: http://www.t-shirtforums.com/referra...requests-here/

Here is a good place for you to do more research:
