HELP! WE NEED SHIRTS....

We have been printing on everything we can think of, but WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF STUFF TO PRINT ON!

When we first started printing with our Yudu, we used coupons and bought some items at Michaels. We paid $9 for a cute tote bag and got 2 shirts for $5 on sale. At this rate we are going to run out of supply funds. Our friends want shirts and we have so many ideas!

We have been doing a little research on resources for items to print on. Here are two places we have looked at and how they compare.

Shirtcamp.com
http://www.shirtchamp.com
There are no minimum size orders for Shirt Camp, but they do charge a $10 handling fee for orders under $75.

Shipping is fast for me in Oregon with 3 days being usual according to their site.
UPS charges for my 10pc order of tote bags would be $14.95, but with these 10 items I would need to pay a $10 handling fee.

T-Shirt
100% cotton pre-shrunk 6.1 oz t-shirt by Anvil 976. Large size white $1.65 each

Tote bag
100% cotton 10 oz heavyweight canvas tote. Toppers 0801 Size: 10.5”x 14” x 5” 24” handles $2.50 each

BlankApparel.com
http://www.blankapparel.com
There are not minimum orders for Blank Apparel and no handling fee.
Your price goes down with the quantity of items that you order. They also group together your different items to give a discount also.

The shipping was fast for Oregon with one day transit.
UPS charges for an order of 10 tote bags would be $12.45

T-Shirt
100% heavyweight cotton, 5.4 oz., preshrunk Anvil Large size white $1.98

Tote bag
8 oz. cotton. Self-fabric handles. Harvard Square Size: 15” x 14” ½” x 1”
$2.03 each

In conclusion, online is the way to go for us. At this time my choice is going to go with BlankApparel.com. I like the flexibility of being able to mix totes, aprons, T-shirts and other products and receive a discount for buying 12 items without worrying about a $75 minimum order. In the future, if friends’ demands for shirts keep growing I may go with Shirtcamp.com to get the higher quality for about the same price.
