JohnnyFartPants Posted 24 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 24 October, 2008 type design your own t-shirt into google and loads come up. Some better than others, but its very easy I was just thinking of doing it while sat here at my computer in between taking calls. I saw those kits you can order but are they good enough quality to sell or a bit cheesy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which once again is not that difficult... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 24 October, 2008 Share Posted 24 October, 2008 Simple - if this is work related then Tell your boss you need to go check out high quality T-Shirt manufacturers, produce a list (from Google), work out the import duty and cotton import quota issue (google) Then take 10 days to visit the manufacturers in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Ho Chi Minh City (You can visit 20 T short people in 2 hours in each to put on the visit report to boss) return to office, recover from sunburn and too much seks, pm Gecko Saint and ask him for a favour. Give to boss who decides to get into currency speculation instead HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 24 October, 2008 Share Posted 24 October, 2008 If it AIN'T work related, lots of photo booth type places have printers that can make T-Shirts. Very common here, especially for Stag/hen tours. Just take the design/photo on CD or memory stick and they can do from 1 up to about 20. Not cheap and unless you take your own t-shirts they give you the cheapest cr*p. (Ask for cotton and ask for a heavy weight - can't remember but we used to make about 120/160 gsm, they last for ever and look good on, printing places try and sell about 60 gsm) (think it was called gsm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scudamore Posted 24 October, 2008 Share Posted 24 October, 2008 A screen printer you say? That is what i say... And if you want anything other than basic text...it'll want to be designed in a vector format... Much like the innerweb eveyman and his dog thinks he can get rich designing tshirts these days... Results 1 - 10 of about 146,000,000 for t shirts. Check out this screen printing machine...buy it then i can pop round and screen tshirts of me doing the queen up the arse...

Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 24 October, 2008 Share Posted 24 October, 2008 JFP, what design are you going to print on the t-shirts? Reminds me of the 'You wan buy dvd' kid in Fonejacker, who called a printer shop asking for Tommy Hilfiger to be printed on 200 t-shirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the 'You wan buy dvd' kid in Fonejacker, who called a printer shop asking for Tommy Hilfiger to be printed on 200 t-shirts I have no idea really. Some simple slogans such as "CU NT" on some, for starters. On others clever wording like WHALE OIL BEEF HOOKED I would like to do a photo of Hugh Fearnley-Wittenstall doing a chicken up the arse but not sure he would turn up for the photo shoot.

You can't even throw one up a slag on the beach without someone having a hissy fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
