T-Shirt Vendors

[SarahBeth]

We just recently lost our local t-shirt vendor that we've been using for years (its a long story), but basically our school has said we cannot use them anymore and will not approve any purchase orders for them.

This leaves us in a bit of a bind, the other 2 vendors locally to us are almost double the price to what we had been paying, so now our next option is to look nationally. Its not something we really want to do because we'd always prefer to support local businesses, but its either we pay more money for shirts from a local vendor, or look elsewhere.

So tell me CD community, where do YOU get your shirts for your teams from? We're located in Massachusetts so somewhere in New England/New York/Mid Atlantic would probably be ideal but I'm open to anywhere.

Thanks!

I know there's a thread on this somewhere, but:

2815 has used RushOrderTees.com for both the past two team shirts and for our SCRIW T-shirts. Good quality, good price, fast turnaround, easy to deal with. Bet on us using them in 2013!

I've used Dream Graphics in Delaware for the last decade. They are good and fast and are willing to put up with some level of my nonsense about designs, colors. etc. Quality product all the time. In 2011 I made an error in the graphic, they printed the entire run. They came back with a free fix for my error, reprinted and we were good to go.

Highly recommended. They are not a $6 shirt place, I want stuff to last.

In the past we have used www.customink.com but we are migrating towards www.uslogoworks.com as they have a local rep to us, we found the rep through a local small business networking group. You may be able to find a similar company up near you.

Both rushordertees and customink are fairly cheap and will ship anywhere for free in the United States. We ordered our FLL shirts from customink.

Thanks for the ideas, everyone!

I've been checking out customink and that one may be a very viable option as they're coming in comparable to what we paid last year.

Take a look at High Tech Tees. They have both silk screen and digital screening and don't charge for set up, design or artwork. They also do not have a minimum required.
