Willie Nelson! Weed! Custom T-Shirts!

It’s commonly known that Willie Nelson is a supporter of marijuana. So it would stand to reason that many attending his concerts might also partake in Aunt Mary’s gift. Why then would one concert attendee be asked to remove her custom t-shirt displaying an herbal friendly message? Apparently, no one has the answer to this question.
When Nebraska State Fair Executive Director Joseph McDermott was asked why state troopers demanded a woman to remove her custom t-shirt saying “Don’t Panic It’s Organic” he sighted “fair policy”. Apparently, the Nebraska State Fair Policy disallows “anything Illegal” on state fairgrounds. Not sure how they find this t-shirt illegal and not find it illegal that Mr. Nelson was singing “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die”, selling screen printed t-shirts with pot leaves on them, OR that various people in the audience were reportedly partaking during the concert.
Seems the only thing illegal was that these State Troopers striped this woman of her freedom of speech. The women submitted to Police by changing into a custom printed t-shirt supporting the Nebraska State Lottery. Apparently the states system of legalized gambling is far less damaging than weed.

Controversial Tween T-Shirts – You Decide

A few major retailers have been put in the spot light for marketing screen printed t-shirts with what many are claiming to be sexist messages. JC Penny’s has a printed t-shirt stating “I’m too pretty to do homework, so my brother does it for me.” On down the mall corridor shoppers are snubbing Forever 21 for their screen printed t-shirts that have messages like “Allergic to Algebra” and “Skool Sucks”. Out the mall and around the corner Old Navy is being criticized for having their printed t-shirts without proper grammar. They seem to have forgotten an apostrophe in the phrase Let’s Go. All this on-line chatter and news coverage has prompted several to do on-line polls about rather the t-shirts are offensive and sexist or if critics are just over reacting. All of the polls I viewed were strongly leaning towards the over reacting side.

Custom Printed T-Shirts on a Budget

Often we find that many design custom t-shirts only to find that it won’t be cost effective for their budget. Here are a few tips that will help you make your own t shirt in the most cost effective manner possible.

Tip #1. Order your custom tee shirts in large volumes when possible. Printing custom t-shirts is like printing business cards, newspapers, or any variety of items, the cost is in the set up. As such, the higher the quantity of custom apparel ordered the lower the cost per unit becomes.

Tip #2. Look for a cotton mix product vs 100% cotton. The product chosen plays a factor in the price of custom apparel. Name brands, type of fabric and specialty items will drive the price up. Changing a product from a 100% cotton ringer tee to a 50-50 white tee will dramatically bring the cost down.

Tip #3. Be flexible on the colors of your custom tee shirts. Color of your custom t shirt also enters into the mix. Because color shirts require extra steps in the printing process you will find that it is less expensive to print custom t-shirts on white rather than color.

Tip #4. Be aware, the more elaborate and more locations of the t-shirt design, the higher the cost. When you make your own t shirt, your t-shirt design plays a big factor in the cost. How many colors and where you want it printed will determine how much you pay. Basically, the more colors and the more areas you print, on your custom t shirt the higher the cost. When you make your own t shirt the best rule of thumb for a cost effective custom t shirt is, one color and one side.

Tip #5. Stick with sizes less than XL Lastly, size plays a factor. You will find that custom tee shirts sizes above XL cost a bit more. Unfortunately the only thing one can do to change that is hit the gym!

Have a great day and remember when you make your own t shirt, Price = Quantity + Product + Color + Design + Size.

Controversial Nike T-Shirts

I won’t be surprised if this topic ends up in the Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live. It looks like a prime candidate for Amy and Seth’s “Really?” segment. Apparently Nike and it’s what I would assume vast marketing department has never heard the terms “Get High”, “Dope”, and “F – K Gravity” in reference to drug use. Really? The scandal began when Boston

City Mayor Tom Menino saw a display of screen printed t-shirts in the Niketown window. Outraged by the messages these t-shirts sent he contacted Nike. After a long slow inhale and cough Nike responded by saying “What?”. Apparently Menino was way off base and totally had his mind in the gutter. Nike simply explained “These t-shirts are in reference to Sports (cough cough) not illegal drugs!” Really? I guess we are then to assume that what would appear to be a spilling pill bottle under the word DOPE is actually a cannon shooting confetti after a big win. Really? Nike also explained that the phrases on the printed t-shirts are phrases commonly used by surfers, skateboarders, and BMX bike riders. Yes Really! This is their statement.

Stinky T-Shirts?

Work or play hard in your custom printed t-shirts? Have that not so attractive sweat stain under the arm of your favorite t-shirt? Even after washing your favorite printed t-shirt a little bit of your natural order is still there? Well, do not fear because Heloise has come to the rescue with a couple of her helpful hints.
• Turn each T-shirt inside out, put liquid detergent on the area and rub the material together a little. Don’t use too much detergent. Don’t stuff the washer full; do only a normal load.
• Soak several of the custom printed T-shirts in the hottest water that’s safe for the fabric, and add 1 to 2 cups of household vinegar. The vinegar works to dissolve the sweat stains and helps cut the odor. Then, launder as usual. Good luck!

Your stuff still stinks? A new t-shirt may be the best answer. Just visit TheShirtPrinter.com and create your own custom printed t-shirt.

How a selfie t-shirt helped solve a crime….

Nothing humors me more than bad criminals. Once again a custom printed t-shirt has helped solve a crime. A Charlotte North Carolina couple was pretty shaken up when two men broke into their home and shuffled them from room to room at gun point looking for valuables. The couple was not injured but was able to give a complete description of the gentleman. Most helpful in the description was a custom printed t-shirt that fell out of the burglar’s car as they fled from the crime. What was the big clue on the t-shirt you ask? The thieves’ picture! To add icing to the cake, the caption on the custom printed t-shirt read “Making Money is my Thang”. Hmmmm, maybe a t-shirt saying “Stealing Money is My Thang” or possible even a custom printed t-shirt saying “Proper English isn’t My Thang”. We know, he defiantly needs a t-shirt that says “Jail is My Thang”! For all your custom printed t-shirt needs, even if you’re a dumb criminal, please visit TheShirtPrinter.com

Slyvia, the mini-maker from Make magazine’s Sylvia’s Maker Show demonstrates how to make screen printing easy……. or does she? While I truly admire this little girl and the craft shows she puts together, making custom printed t-shirts at home isn’t as easy as she makes it look. However, I want to share this video because it gives a basic idea of how screen printed t-shirts are created. Often customers ask why the cost per t-shirt goes down with and increase in quantity. As our little expert Slyvia demonstrates there is a lot of set up involved to make just one custom printed t-shirt.
