I would appreciate it if you could supply my with this guys info. I currently use a brand called NONA-T which I am pleased with and would like to send a sample to see if he can duplicate but have my own custom tags put on.
I have been in the overseas mfg apparel business for over 14 years. I have mfg in just about all countries.
I mfg for several larger retailers such as JCP, Target and Walmart. You must be careful when you are getting prices b/c each country has different duty rates and quota.
Some countries slap you , may get slapped for an additional 32% of what the factory quoted you. It depends on the clasification of garment and fabric content. So becareful by the time you get your shirts you could have bought cheaper in US.
Be sure to make sure you know what actual price the factory is quoting you:
FOB ( Freight On Board ) = This is only the cost of the garnent w/ local quota included . It does not include freight and or US duty tax. Then you will have to pay for transportation from port to your warehouse.
LDP (Landed Duty Paid) = This is where the garments have all quota and duties (taxes) included once landed in US. You should reconfirm delivery to your warehouse or is it only destination port. Many of my customers like the LDP because they do not have to get in touch w/ a freight forwarder and customes.
I'm brand new to the site. My question is, with all the creative aspects of making, buying and selling the T-shirts...can anyone recommend a software company that will assist us in quality checking, keeping track of real-time sales vs. projected sales, item catalogues, percentages of income minus expenses, number of damaged goods, market research numbers, cross-collaterized of product information, etc.? I'm sure small start businesses like myself could also benefit from such a computerized program.

We have made custom blanks for many of our customers and the process is much simpler than explained on this thread. Usually the customer has a specific tee in mind that they are looking to duplicate or they have something almost exactly what they want, but would like to make some changes. If they supply us with a garment we can duplicate it for them, then they approve the counter sample we made and hopefully place an order or make any necessary changes until they are satisfied with the garment. Of course we only do infant and baby blanks, but there are many other manufcatureres that work the same way and you don't need to go the long route of starting with making your own pattern etc. If the manufacturer is already producing blanks, they have a pattern maker in house and you do not have to go through that extra expense - you supply them with what you basically want and they can generally take it from there.

my question is this: does anybody know of where I could buy private label blank tee shirts-thats it. Nothing more, nothing less. I will do my own tags and designs-I just want to be able to purchase a nice blended shirt with no tags or nothing.

If your goal is to just be able to relabel t-shirts with your own design, you can do that with ANY t-shirt blank. Doesn't matter if it currently has labels or not. That's how most people do it. They buy a brand name blank t-shirt at wholesale and they remove the tags and relabel it with their own brand tags. This is perfectly legal and very common practice.
They don't sell t-shirts without labels because of FTC laws on labeling.
You can get t-shirts with tear away labels that make it easier for relabeling though. Just search the forums for tagless or tear away and you'll find tons of information on it.

I have been making t-shirts for my customers both domestic and overseas. The tricky part is the minimum.
The smallest quantity needed for dying domestic with a decent dyehouse is around 200 lbs. It takes between 4-8lbs/dozen shirts depending on how heavy the shirts are. Cut and sew factories prefer 100 dozen domestic. Overseas, you can get 100 dozen made, but the logistics are a bit more difficult.
If the supplier knows what they are doing, it is possible to get small quantities made.
If you need more information, message or mail me.
This is not Novanutcase and he is not endorsing this in any way shape or form.
I saw a t-shirt that was imported from Indonesia with a small size tag on the inside and a printed label that washes off after you wash/print so you can print whatever you want on it for a label. I think it was white colored starch.
