Are you interested in having t-shirts printed for your company or organization? Modern printing techniques allow for just about anything to printed onto t-shirts and other items, such as backpacks, sweatshirts and baseball caps. Here are nine tips for choosing the best apparel printing company for your needs.
1. Quantity – How many shirts do you need printed? Can the company handle a small or large order? Some companies have minimum orders, for instance. If you are ordering a large quantity, ask about discounts or wholesale prices that allow you to save more per item.
2. Design – Does the apparel printing company offer their own designs, or can you create your own? Some companies will even create a customized logo just for your organization for an extra fee.
3. Submitting the Design – If you are going to create your own design, how do you submit it? On a CD, or will an email be suitable?
4. Cost of Project – Discuss your budget with the company. While you want to stick within a certain budget, you also want quality products that will serve as a testament to your business. Find a balance of affordability and quality.
5. Deadline – When do you need the order by? Can the printing company meet these needs? You need to be fair, too, and give the company enough time to process the order. Research local companies where you may be able to pick up the order instead of having it delivered.
6. Product Selection – Not only should the printing techniques be high quality, but so should the product selection. Browse the company’s catalog and look at the superiority of the products sold.
7. Staff – Who will be working on your order? Does the staff have experience in screen printing and embroidery? If you don’t have the experience to print your own shirts, you certainly want a company that does!
8. Customer Service – When asking questions, how does the company treat you? Are they patient and informative, or do they rush through the responses? Choose a company that wants your business.
9. Reviews – What types of reviews does the company have? You can learn this information by reading testimonials and Google reviews. Don’t just shun a company that has a few negative reviews, either. Read about if/how the problem was resolved.
