Can someone give me a rough pricing guideline of say getting 100 Tshirts screen printed in say 2-3 colors. I am researching if its better to get these done in the states or here locally. Any help would be appreciated.
Does that price include the cost of the garment, or is that with you supplying the t-shirts?
It's always a good idea to do some quick price comparisons, but I think the best way would be to contact the printers directly. You may get a really low estimate from a printer that doesn't make quality prints or you may get a decent estimate from a printer that does a great job. By contacting the printers directly you'll be able to get an idea of their professionalism.
The cost is for each color and does not include the cost of the garment. I was going to bulk buy the garments because I want my own custom label instead of the manufacturers label on the garments.
So this isnt a major issue. It's more the pricing of the screen printing.
As monkeylantern said, there are a lot of printers in Melbourne, so it's probably worth getting them printed locally.
If you're sourcing blanks from overseas anyway that may be a different matter, but even then if it were me I would get them printed locally (more recourse if you have a problem with the print quality, and easier to contact with queries and requests, etc.).
It would seem very odd to me to print somewhere where you can't go and speak to the printer face to face (especially given the printing Mecca that Melbourne seems to be).
