Everyone is always looking for a bargain. A bargain by definition means: Something offered, bought, or sold at a price favorable to the buyer. With that is mind why wouldn’t you be able to get cheap shirts that are high quality.
The reason screen printers are reluctant to lower their price on their products is because there is so much that goes into producing a quality printed product. If you want to get cheap shirts that are high quality there are a few concessions that you are going to have to make. In your search for quality products at a cheap price always remember this “You get what you pay for “. With that said there are a few things that you can do to ensure that you get the cheap shirts that you’re seeking.
1.You must be willing to cut back on the detail of the design you wish to have printed.
2.There are comparable products that you can chose instead of the most recognizable brand name.
3.Consider the always offered volume discount.
4.Companies that are getting into a nitch market are always looking to offer a discount so they can get their foot in the door.
5. Do as much of the leg work as you can.
I will explain the 5 guidelines I gave you above:
1.You may have a design that has a lot of detail in it. Sure it would look fabulous printed on those black t shirts. Maybe though the person that designed the graphic never considered the factors go into producing it on to a t shirt and maybe you really don’t know what it takes to get t shirts made with such a graphic yourself. Well, there is no shame there. A good screen printer knows that the everyday customer doesn’t care about how you get it on the shirt they just want it on their shirts. Your top screen printing companies will take the time to explain to you the procedures that are necessary to reproduce your graphic. Once you have a good understand of what goes into printing I feel sure that you will be willing to reconsider your options. A good screen printer can get great results using fewer colors in your design which will help to keep the cost down and you may be able to up grade the quality of the shirt.
2.There are many more manufactures today there in years past. Most all of these companies produce their own line of products. Each company wants to be able to thrive in the current trend market. Therefore they all have similar products. Your screen printing company will be or should be aware of all the different products available to you.
3.In the custom t shirt and embroidery business most all companies offer you a discount on volume orders. To get the price you want consider purchasing a few more shirts then you had planned. The over all price may be more but the cost per piece will be less. That allows you to get the produce that you want but at a cheaper price and more of them.
4.Just because a company is new in a nitch market doesn’t mean that they are new into the market altogether. Do a little research on the company you’re considering, You can even call the company and discuss things with them. You will get a good feel for their experience by speaking directly to them. Remember they are offering cheap shirts because they want to be a player in this new trend. Take advantage of it.
5.If you will do your research before you call on a company you will be able to go in there confident in what you need and how you expect to get it. A good screen printing company will appreciate that.
