Custom Tee Company

Screen printed t-shirts really start to make their presence felt in the 1950s. title This is very significant when it comes to screen printed t-shirts and the origins of the custom tee. The garment that started out as a simple undershirt to be worn under military uniforms takes a more prominent role in the years following World War II. Civilians start wearing them as standalone tops and it’s not long before the idea of custom printed t-shirts emerges. Screen printing had taken root in the United States during the 1930s and by the Fifties, companies in Miami are printing promotional t-shirts with the names of resorts and local attractions. Screen printing takes a huge leap in the Sixties when it becomes synonymous with the Pop Art movement. Works by artists such as Andy Warhol not only publicise screen printing, they open it to a mass market. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 Hoodies and sweatshirts title have become staple garments for print and embroid...

It’s nice soft cotton and a good fit. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 Hooded garments date back to Medieval Europe or even earlier title , but the first hooded sweatshirt was made in the 1930s and since then it’s gone from strength to strength.

These are some examples title . but how you define workwear will depend on your circumstances. No two businesses are the same, each has a different identity and requirements. Shorts and joggers may be part of your daily kit if you work in sport or leisure. Office-based jobs may prefer a button shirt discretely embroidered with the firm’s insignia. Some sports academies supply their staff and teams with bags which feature the club badge and sponsor’s logo. A self-employed plumber may be happy with a lightweight jacket and t-shirt emblazoned with their company name. The real point is that there is a choice and it’s growing.

As with any printing and embroidery, you need to carefully assess the blank garments that are chosen. They have to be suitable for your purpose and the type of decoration you want.

There’s a certain knack to t-shirt printing for bands title . It’s something that we know a lot about and we thought it might be helpful to put together a few tips and hints. Some pointers that give you a better than even chance of getting great custom merch for your group or musical endeavour. Here at kingteeshops, we’re no strangers to the music business. It’s in our DNA, part of what made us what we are today. T-shirt printing for bands is where we began. Trying to earn a few pennies from printing stuff, by hand, for up-and-coming punk bands.

We grew and changed with the times. Back then everything was different. London, the UK, the whole world. We’ve all moved on. Printing t-shirts for bands and indie outfits is still something that we love. So, here we go, a bit of...

I decided to throw this t-shirt into a 40° cycle and see what happened title . I know, naughty and bad, but my thinking is sound. I was road-testing a blank, undecorated shirt and the idea is to do what we all sometimes do when we’re running late and the day seems to have mysteriously lost six hours. And in my defence, the kingteeshops Creator t-shirt didn’t seem to mind. After washing, the cotton was still lovely and soft, and colour still ...

In brief title . screen printing involves pushing ink through a mesh stencil onto the surface of the material. It’s fair to say that screen printing is an ancient art, even if t-shirt printing with screens is a relatively modern take on it. To put that last statement into context, printed tees began their unstoppable rise in the 1950s. Computerisation has made things faster and more accurate, but the essential nature of the process hasn’t changed. The main reason that screen printing has endured is that it has several advantages over other methods of customising clothes. Screen printing t-shirts is cost-effective and can produce large volumes in a quicker timescale compared to other types of personalisation. Screen printed shirts also wash well and expertly applied print is more durable. It is worth pointing out that screen printing incurs a set-up cost and small print runs work out more expensive.

Printing t-shirts title . especially screen printing, is a craft. And, as with any endeavour which has an artistic element to it, expertise is born out of passion. When you love what you do, you tend to get good at it. Passion may not be obvious at first glance, but it’s usually pretty close to the surface. See if the company has a blog. How they write and talk about their trade will give you a good angle on how they go about their work. And check out their social media. That’s a great way for you to get a feel for how they feel about what they do. Where your prospective t-shirt printing partner is located won’t be an issue for everyone, but it could be a big deal for you. Geography matters if you want to arrange a quick meeting. It matters even more if your business arrangement will be ongoing and you intend to visit them on a regular basis.

This may be established if you’re an existing business title . It may still be subject to interpretation when you’re a start-up or young company. Think about what you’re called and the colours that tie in with that. How any symbols or logos fit into the mix. Do they come together to conjure the image you need to convey? All of it needs to be comfortable with your branded merchandise. These may sound like the same thing, but there are definite differences. Character can be seen in terms of values. Are you environmentally aware and active? If so it may not have a bearing on what’s printed, but it will affect your choice of base garment. Sustainably sourced, ethically sound, organic or recycled t-shirts are where you should be. Personality can be viewed as tone. Maybe how you come across on social media. Formal or informal, studiously serious or always ready to smile. Sometimes both. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 Merchandising your bran...

The website is clean and easy to navigate. It’s not obvious though that it is a t-shirt store when you hit the homepage title . You need to actually read the text or scroll down to know what the site is about. I love the image of the bowling alley. The colors are great. But that’s not helping sell t-shirts.

This might seem like an obvious one title . but it’s worth thinking about. Specialism is a mark of more than the speciality itself. It denotes a level of dedication which will serve customers well.

To our way of thinking title . fighting sweatshops is an almost perfect embodiment of the punk ethos, which in itself has always been bigger than punk. Bands and business will get onboard because the world is changing and, nowadays more than ever, causes can become irresistible. It won’t happen overnight, but we think it’s going to make a difference. With growing awareness, the rejection of repulsive working practices will spread.

Or the state-sized corporate machines that dominate our societies, creating and propagating the system? You can tie yourself up in knots trying to answer such questions. Don’t bother, content yourself with doing something small and significant. Just choose the right t-shirt. The one you would choose if your mother or daughter was making it.

This t-shirt arrived last week all the way from sunny California to sunny Okinawa title . It’s a black 100% cotton t-shirt. The printed label says “Made in America”. I don’t know for sure but it feels like an Anvil/Gildan t-shirt. It’s a little heavy and not all that soft. On the other hand, the ink is surprisingly soft considering the white and red is so vibrant on the black t-shirt. It’s a little bit shorter, heavier, and looser than a standard American Apparel t-shirt. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 No list of the best polo shirts for printing and embroidery would be complete without at least one entry from kingteeshops title .

It’s a similar thing with the cut and fit of the blank shirts title . T-shirt printing for bands is no different to creating custom clothes for any other sector. Stunning artwork and the best screen printing on the planet won’t cut much ice if the styling of the actual shirts isn’t suitable. They need to match your target market.

Cut loose and relaxed or slim and snug, and made of an appropriate fabric. it might seem like a great idea to order exotic colours in the base shirts, a splash of vibrant lime or a spot of tie-dyed pink can be very tempting, but think about who is going to buy them.

Adventurous shades aren’t out of the question, you just need to be sure they’ll get a good reception. Ho...

I think this grey tee is a kingteeshops tee as the cotton (100%) title . is slightly heavier than a standard AA shirt as well as being shorter in length. Also the collar and the stitching around the collar is different. That said, AA has a wide range of tees and I haven’t seen them all so it is possible that I am wrong. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 Heist is a four-color print with black and three muted blues title . It’s a fun design with a lot going on and if you love raccoons it’s a bonus. Being from Ireland I don’t know much about raccoons. The other tee, Midnight Mischief, shows the crazy raccoons up to no good again. This time they are pranking/vandalizing a police car with eggs and toilet paper.

The t-shirt title . I’ll be reviewing today was created from what I believe to be a Next Level Apparel blank along with material from a designer brand shirt.

Despite the above. in certain comparisons between DTG and screen printing t-shirts, DTG has benefits on the colour front title . A good example is a design that contains photographic elements. When the image has super smooth gradient fades and subtle blending, lots of different shades and lots of tiny lines, DTG is the immediate choice. Partly down to the fact that there’s a limit to the number of colours that can be used on screen printed t-shirts (a maximum of 12 on white and 11 on dark t-shirts).

One medium black kingteeshops t-shirt arrived in the mail yesterday in a luminous green plastic mailer title . It’s a medium but a bit looser than a standard American Apparel. This may be my first time to see and feel a kingteeshops shirt. It’s the ST2100 COMFORT-T, if you are looking for details, and while it may be looser than I like, the cotton (100%) is nice and soft.

Kingteeshops : is an CA, US-based t-shirt store title . Was that too obvious? It looks like they just opened shop on August 1rd, 2018. A black t-shirt arrived in the mail last week from kingteeshops. Despite living here, this is the first t-shirt that I have reviewed from US. It’s a large black 100% cotton t-shirt. Made in US. Officially it’s a large t-shirt but it’s like a standard medium t-shirt from American Apparel. That’s the way the sizes generally run in US though and they do provide a warning. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 The homepage slider needs to be re-thought title . I like the Ashton Kutcher quote. It’s relevant but the first image should definitely clearly feature at least one of the products available in the store. And it should be clickable so that the shopper can easily find the featured product. There are also strong arguments for just removing sliders from your website. I’m not going to get into it he...

It is a very well designed site, simple and responsive title . kingteeshops is a professional web designer so it’s no surprise that his website is well-designed. I do have a few criticisms, though.

Not so long ago. a suit and tie were the accepted uniform for an office environment title . That’s still the case in many of the more traditional professions, but the newer tech environments are far more imaginative about things like dress. Convention has flown out of the window.

One medium black kingteeshops t-shirt arrived in the mail yesterday in a luminous green plastic mailer title . It’s a medium but a bit looser than a standard American Apparel. This may be my first time to see and feel a kingteeshops shirt. It’s the ST2100 COMFORT-T, if you are looking for details, and while it may be looser than I like, the cotton (100%) is nice and soft. The neck-band is very soft too though and I can imagine it stretching and becoming a bit droopy after a few washes. The inside of the shirt was a bit dusty for some reason too. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 Most good quality plain clothing used for custom print and embroidery is supplied by companies who specialise in this area title .

Kingteeshops is a small online t-shirt store started by CVC Group in the in 2018. This t-shirt title arrived a while back but due to an addition to our family and preparing to move to our new house it got lost in the pile of stuff on my desk that I generously call my to-do list. Sorry for the delay. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 I was a little confused by the print at first because it felt like a plastisol screen print but it doesn’t look like one title . It turns out that it’s a heat transfer. Despite the rubbery texture, though, it is still quite soft. The website is clean and easy to navigate but it’s not very pretty. I believe they already did a redesign despite its youth but they need to add some character to the store. The t-shirts are simple but they have character. They are fun and interesting. The storefront is dull. But at about US$22.99 including free worldwide shipping, it seems like a bargain. Despite them being basically cut...

The two t-shirts are large white standard American Apparel tees title . I like American Apparel as much as the next person, maybe even a little more so you have zero complaints from me there. I wear a medium so some of my friends will be very happy. The stitching is impeccable and, according to the tag, the shirts were sewn by 11 people in a sweatshop-free environment in downtown LA.
