Sometimes it helps to get "local" information and vendors recommendations. The regional sections of the forum are for sharing more local based t-shirt information from around the world.
Hi All, I am based in Cape Town and would like to establish whether there are other South Africans using this site. I am new to the t-shirt printing business and am keen to find out about local suppliers, etc.
hi MELLY , i'm lucky and i am South African, man i feel good to finally to meet a fellow South African.
i am in Durban and just starting in the t-shirt biz. hey just so you know this is a useful site for information.
good luck
Hi Melly,
I'm originally from Stellenbosch! Small world! Now living in Michigan. My sister is still in Stellenbosch, and she recently had t-shirts screenprinted locally. She had lots of problems finding suppliers, and she wasn't really able to find good quality blanks (she was looking for organic Ts). Are you able to find good suppliers of blank Ts in Cape Town?
Michelle

Hi Michelle,
I've have access to a very good supplier but not organic Ts however. I will make enquiries and let you know.
Thanks!
By the way, where do you sell your t-shirts?
Hi Michelle, thus far I have only done t-shirts for a sports club. I aim to start by targeting flea-markets but I'm still in the process of investigating the various options.
Hi fellow S.A 's
i truely believe that this is a place where we can all learn a trick or two , and besides we here is South A frica have the advantage of starting new trends as the market is not so stuffed with SA flavour.
we can incorparate overseas trends with south african flair and have bang of a line.
there is a lot we can learn from here
have a wonderfull new years with profits
Hi fellow South Africans..."poiseness or not!"
I've had endless problems finding a good blank t-shirt supplier who will supply me without labels...other than Barrons and Altitude! Barrons contact number is just not available!
I am also looking for good quality ladies tops. Fitted and classic. V-neck and crew neck. Long and short sleeve. Any leads?
We do design for kiddies, guys and girls t's. All original design, very funky and very unique!
I find it soooo frustrating that the manufacturers just do not put themselves out there to be found ont he net...
Looking at importing tops, but the shipping cost is hectic man!
We are based in Cape Town...lived in Mpumalanga, Durban, P-town and Jozi!
Peace!
Hey Sonja
i know exactly what u are going thru, i live in durbs and yes our fellow manufacturers do not list on the web(it sucks man) .
what i have resorted to is to make them from scratch.
Since you are in cape town why not ask springleap.com where they get their tees from.
hi lucky. my name is william and i;m not exactly south african. but i live just next door in namibia. and we do have a local suplier JGELECTRONICS jst try to google them.
OK, even though I'm in the USA, I was looking into having my t-shirts made and sold in South Africa. Here are some good contacts for Cape Town:
Firhaard of Special Tee: 021 4482043 Audrey of Woolworths: 021 5914897 0839666948 (I think they make some of Woollies's Ts) Julius Solomon - makes labels 021 5113135
From what I've gathered from a friend who started a t-shirt co in Cape Town, the easiest is to call everyone and go to see them - there are quite a few places in Cape Town where they can make good quality Ts.
Good luck!
