Default Wholesale blank t-shirt costs in the UK

Whats the general price of 100% cotton blank t-shirt in the UK?

From what i've read, it's about £1 for white and £1.40- £1.50 ish for coloured.

Is this too much? or about right or can I get cheaper elsewhere?

That's about right, the cheapest i've found is ralawise, if you join (free) they will send an email each day with the discounted stuff.

At the moment they got Hanes heavy T's £1 each not many colours left but it changes almost every day. I got some coloured kustomkit a while back for 63p each (inc VAT).

xpres are cheap, good quality but not many colours.

Cheap T's are ok for charity events or shirts that will be worn once etc, but best getting quality ones to sell retail as people are more likely to buy again.

Where do you live, have you checked out local wholesalers as there will be no postage.

Hope this helps

I live in Manchester, not too far from you - so if you know any local ones let me know. I don't want super cheap break up after one wash stuff - just something ok quality like FOTL stuff.

That's good, maybe we can combine an order and split postage

What methods are you using for your designs?

We'll have to have a chat and see if we can help each other out.

Thaks for that sounds a good plan. I'm just starting out really, i have ideas and some work in progress. I'm just doing research at the moment, registering my domain name, company name etc, I don't plan on selling anything till next year. I'm probably going to start out in a mixture of using vinyl and heat transfers. Eventually if successful i'd like to do either DTG or screen printing.

Who knows it may only ever be a hobby i'm not much of designer but i have some good ideas and im usually pretty good at picking things up.

Thanks again for you advice, i guess the best thing is to register on a few of these wholesalers mailing lists and get the special offers when they crop up.

Have you got any equipment yet?

I have a cutter/heat press/sublimation printer and i use plastisol transfers from targettransfers. If you want anything cut or you need to use a heat press give me a call.

At the moment i do workwear & promotional t-shirts etc but want to get into retail.

Send your email or phone number by private and i'll contact you.

Cheers

Lee
