Are there any online custom shirt companies that print on the side of the shirt?

I am just looking a website where I can design a shirt, preferably a v-neck for men, that has something printed or screened on the side of the shirt towards the bottom. Thanks in advance.

Hey Shawn,

My name is Luke Collier and I’m the Director of Marketing for CSE Inc. Graphic Outfitters. We specialize in graphic design, screen printing, direct embroidery and a few other area’s.

What you are referring to is a shirt designer that a lot of these companies have. You wont find an interactive shirt designer that will allow you to place an image on the side of a shirt due to the fact that this is not a standard procedure when people order shirts. A lot of shirts you find in the stores with designs are pre-printed on materials prior to being cut. They are screen printed then cut to fit to shape/patch.

If you are seeking someone to make a custom shirt let me know. It sounds like that is what you are looking for. Your going to need a company who can manually lay your shirt on the side and screen print your image in the proper place.

feel free to look at our site to see what all we specialize in.

Give me a shout if interested.

T-shirt Printing- Evolving Over the Years

September 30th, 2011 No comments

In 1959, a more stretchable and durable ink, called plastisol was invented, which allowed more styles and variety in T-shirt designs and T-shirt printing. During the 1960s, screen-printing and tie-dyeing on basic Tshirts caught on and became a huge success. The commonest form of decorating commercial Tshirts is screen-printing. Screen-printing involves separating a design into individual colors. Plastisol or other water-based inks are then applied to the Tshirt through special screens, which limit the area where the ink is applied and deposited. In all commercial T-shirt printing, specific colors in the design to be printed are used. Few companies continue to use the water-based inks on the printed Tshirts that they supply. Most companies manufacturing Tshirts and providing Tshirt printing facilities prefer using plastisol because it can be used on varying colors without needing to make color adjustments at the art level.

T-shirt printing companies keep up with the trends, fashion, and demands and use Specialty inks, which include puff, shimmer, discharge, and chino, based inks. Metallic foils too can be stamped and heat pressed on plastisol ink. When this is combined with the specialty shimmer ink, the metallics provide a mirror effect wherever the screen-printed plastisol ink had been applied. As these specialty inks are quiet expensive they are used more on garments available in boutiques. Some other methods of decoration, which is used in Tshirt printing include airbrush, embroidery, applique, embossing or impressing, and ironing on of flock lettering and heat transfers.

In the late 1980s and 1990s, Tshirts with logos of prominent designers became popular, especially with teens and young adults. With these Tshirts, consumers could flaunt their liking for particular designer brands in a very inexpensive way. Some designer Tshirt brands include Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, FUBU,  and The Gap. Major consumer product companies like Coca-cola have used printed Tshirts and Tshirt printing for product advertising since the 70s. Since 1990s, companies of all sizes prefer Tshirts with their corporate logo and message as a part of their advertising campaign.

By the end of the last century, designing of custom T-shirts on a Tshirt companies website became very popular. Many Tshirt companies with websites started using digital printing such as DTG printing or Direct to Garment printing, allowing customers to design Tshirts online without the compulsion of having to place a minimum order for T-shirt printing. Customers can place an order for even one custom design. Customers can even select branded Tshirts and get their custom design printed on the Tshirt. They can not only select the brand, style, color, and size, but also the printing method with features like Foil, Metallic, Glitter, and Vinyl. Some companies even provide free graphic designing for orders of 50+ t-shirts, making it a win-win situation for even a small company.

Hand Embroidery

The uniform of your staff is a true representative of your corporate identity. When the employees wear their uniforms inappropriately, the reputation of the company is adversely affected. On the contrary, if the members of your team always wear well-designed and well-fitted corporate work wear, it signifies that your organization is being managed efficiently, and your clients will certainly come back to you, time after time, for repeat business. Here are few things you should take into consideration while buying clothes for work for your staff members.

Logo- The clothes that your employees wear should have the logo of your company. There are two ways to incorporate logo on the clothing viz. customized logo embroidery and customized screen-printing. While screen-printed logos are inexpensive, embroidered logos have aesthetic appeal. Depending upon your budget, you can opt for any one of the two methods of inscribing logo on the uniforms.

Workwear Suppliers- You would need a reliable supplier in order to ensure that your companys clothing requirements are fulfilled at all times. The dealer should always keep a stock of the uniforms used in your company. He should also readily accommodate small additions and amendments. While choosing the supplier, business owners typically consider only the price at which the former will provide the garments.

Efficiency and reliability of the seller is also an important criterion, which should not be ignored. If the dealer keeps on changing his stock lines, then either you would have to spend more money to convince him to keep your companys uniforms or you would have to look for another seller. Under adverse conditions, you may be compelled to completely change the work wear of your company.

Number- Due to the nature of the job, if the garments have to be cleaned everyday, then you should have enough number of embroidered work wear so as to allow the staff to be properly dressed. Generally, three set formula is considered ideal. In this case, each member has three dresses, one to use, one to spare and one to wash. If hygiene and cleanliness is crucial, then each employee should have at least five sets. This number will help you to meet the compliance obligations.

Safety and Durability – It is yet another factor that should be critically considered. If your employees need fire retardant, waterproof, cut resistant or thermal corporate clothing, make sure that you get the right kind of work wear for them.

Comfort-If the members of your staff are comfortable, they will do their job more efficiently. Efficiency and profitability are directly proportional to one another. With the rise of the former, the latter automatically begins to increase. For this reason, it is important to ensure that the work wear clothing is highly comfortable. The seams of the dress should be accurate and the uniform should fit the employee well. See www.embroideryprintup.co.uk for all your workwear that meets above creterias.

Tax Efficiency: Companies that provide their workers work wear clothing usually deduct uniform tax from their pay. When the members of your staff go out wearing their uniform on which the logo of your company has been embroidered, they promote your organization free of cost. More publicity means more business and more profits. By removing the tax burden, you can encourage your employees to wear their uniforms regularly and campaign for you company.
