Low-volume, outsourcing options for custom tees?

236 Views 8 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  dk prints
Hi All -

I'm looking to outsource our t-shirt printing operations. We would be processing low-volume orders, say 100 to 400 pieces per run. These orders would include a basic t-shirt (Jerseyz, Haines, etc) with a image heat pressed on front and back. We'd provide the images.

From my research, I've determined that overseas options - even going through a broker - would not be possible as their minimums are in the thousands. Does anyone have experience placing low quantity orders with either US or overseas firms? Thanks!!

if you already have the transfers all you need is a heat press. otherwise find a local screenprinter, I know we would more more than happy to help you out with something like that.

If you're doing that many per run, why not just contact a local (or online) screen printer to do the t-shirts for you? They would probably cost a lot less and have better quality.

You can find all kinds of screen printers who can do the job at PrinterListings - custom t-shirt printers reviewed at PrinterListings.com

Where are you located? We might be able to give you specific recommendations for someone nearer to you to save on shipping times.

Contact Stuart at Vacord screen printing there in Philadelphia. He's a member of the forums here and he does good work: Vacord Screen Printing & Custom Vinyl - Screen Printing - custom t-shirt printers reviewed at PrinterListings.com
We could help you out too, we're in CA though, we do print and ship around the country all the time. Feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 510.535.2222 if you are interested or have any questions. At those volumes screen printing is way more efficient and cost effective.
Hi John,

large runs will make sense to import(outsource). If you order 100-400pcs every time, turnaround time will take a big advantage to order from domestic.

Good luck!
