Thread: Shirts

also can look into Flipsyde industries. i use to use them when i was starting a shirt company. prices are good, and they are really easy to work with. and if i remember correctly they are out of ventura.

PS. if you go through flipsyde, let me know and ill see if i can transfer whatever credits i have left on my account over to you since im not doing anything with them.

I was in the market for shirts too and ended up going with a local printer as it saved me some money on shipping the final product.

Depending on the shirt from Affiction you are talking about depends on the process used. Some are DTG (direct to Garment), some Sub-lam, while others use foils... There are a lot of small shops that do all of these.

DTG will be costly - as it is printed right on the shirt, the machine cost is high so pricing reflects this.

Sub-Lam is what I use for custom Bikinis for car show models. much less expensive process only requiring a dedicated printer and special paper, plus a heat press.

Foils can be done in different ways - I like to use vinyl foils as they don't break down as fast, but are harder to work with as they need to be cut and pressed. Paper foiling works but breaks down after 10+ washes (Skin Ind. uses this process).
