First of all hello to you all - this is my first post on the Forum and I'm looking for a little direction.
I am about to set up a small T-Shirt company in Manchester, UK and I'm looking for ways to individually number my T-Shirts a little bit like a Warhol Factory print.
I am hoping to limit each design and number them accordingly to add a bit of a collectors value to them (if we ever get that good at this!).
What would be the best way to get that done? I have located a t-shirt supplier that I am happy with and a screen printer relatively local who seems to have a good set up in operation. I am looking therefore to find the best method of individual numbering and I don't like the sound of transfers or embroidery.
Is there any form of spray paint that's used so I can individually mark each T-Shirt when I get them back from the screen printers that would withstand washing. Quality is a big concern for me.
I may number on the neck tag or even at the bottom of each shirt - potentially I was looking to even amend each t-shirt add some more detail to the physical garment too. All options are open for investigation.
Ok cheers both good suggestions. In response, what pens have people found the most durable after washes and the same for the tape - do they actually last?

The tapes will last as they are especially made for laundry use. We've used them for hotel sheets over a year ago and they're still there.
FYI these labels come in pkt of 36 with an indelible pen marker approved for laundry.
Hope this helps.
We have a pen for laundry use - marks the childrens clothes for camp/PE etc. Haven't lost a child yet.
Excellent news. Glad to hear the kids are safe! Cheers for the input guys. Seems to be a really friendly forum so thanks for your swift input. Much appreciated.
If you go to your local craft store they will sell fabric paints and fabric paint pens in many different colors. Usually you put the paint on, and either let it set overnight to cure, or take an iron to it to cure it to make the paint permanent.
