Custom Shirts for Family Holidays or Family Reunions – It’s Easier than You Think

Need a great new idea to top last year’s family reunion? Consider having custom t-shirts printed. Custom t-shirts are a really cute idea for family reunions and holidays spent together because they demonstrate familial unity, are fun to wear, and prove useful when you forget what the name of Aunt Mabel’s third husband is.

Having custom t-shirts or custom sweatshirts printed for the entire, extended family may seem like too much (or too expensive) of a hassle. Surprise! It’s actually remarkably affordable. Screen printing, the most common form of shirt printing, requires minimal labor and is easy to do in large batches.

It’s also a great option because it’s so easy to organize. Find an online shirt printing company that offers a design lab where you can create your own shirt template. Set up a profile and secure web address. Then email the link to everyone in the family so they can place their own orders. This way, no one person is in charge of money management and you don’t have to worry about running out of a certain size. You might have to help Grandma order hers, but setting up an online account is quick and easy, takes all the pressure off you, creates a fun, unified theme for the reunion and allows everyone to be happy with their sizes and colors.

At TheShirtPrinter.com, group orders can be set up in any one of the following ways:

As a Custom Group Order Form that includes a set price per t-shirt and a minimum order of 20 items.

Or, as a Fundraising Order Form which allows you to set the retail price for t-shirts, sweatshirts or any other custom print order. With this option, groups and sports teams will receive the difference in price for what TheShirtPrinter.com charges from the custom-set retail price of each garment. A minimum order of 75 pieces must be met.

How to make Custom Apparel fit any Budget

Often we find that many design custom t-shirts only to find that it won’t be cost effective for their budget. Here are a few tips that will help you make your own t shirt in the most cost effective manner possible.

Tip #1. Order your custom tee shirts in large volumes when possible. Printing custom t-shirts is like printing business cards, newspapers, or any variety of items, the cost is in the set up. As such, the higher the quantity of custom apparel ordered the lower the cost per unit becomes.

Tip #2. Look for a cotton mix product vs 100% cotton. The product chosen plays a factor in the price of custom apparel. Name brands, type of fabric and specialty items will drive the price up. Changing a product from a 100% cotton ringer tee to a 50-50 white tee will dramatically bring the cost down.

Tip #3. Be flexible on the colors of your custom tee shirts. Color of your custom t shirt also enters into the mix. Because color shirts require extra steps in the printing process you will find that it is less expensive to print custom t-shirts on white rather than color.

Tip #4. Be aware, the more elaborate and more locations of the t-shirt design, the higher the cost. When you make your own t shirt, your t-shirt design plays a big factor in the cost. How many colors and where you want it printed will determine how much you pay. Basically, the more colors and the more areas you print, on your custom t shirt the higher the cost. When you make your own t shirt the best rule of thumb for a cost effective custom t shirt is, one color and one side.

Tip #5. Stick with sizes less than XL Lastly, size plays a factor. You will find that custom tee shirts sizes above XL cost a bit more. Unfortunately the only thing one can do to change that is hit the gym!

Have a great day and remember when you make your own t shirt, Price = Quantity + Product + Color + Design + Size.
