Customised T-Shirts for Adults
Custom embroidered t-shirts are the perfect unique addition to your outfit or business attire. They also make great gifts for birthdays, Christmas and are lots of fun for other special events.
I can source t-shirts from a variety of suppliers depending on your style and price range. The most common suppliers I use for t-shirts are AS Colour and Aurora Clothing.
Decoration Options
The most common decoration options for t-shirts are embroidery or vinyl printing. Vinyl printing is typically more affordable than embroidery, however embroidery will last longer and the design will stay looking great and colourful a lot longer. Vinyl is perfect for kids shirts or shirts for everyday wear or special occasions. If you’re looking to add your business brand to clothing, I would definitely go with embroidery to keep your brand image looking great for the life of the shirt.
Embroidery is best for smaller designs such as left chest logo designs or a line or two of writing across the back. The larger designs do get quite stitch heavy and can get quite uncomfortable to wear, especially on thinner shirts.
I can also print with sublimation on light colour t-shirts with a high polyester count too. Sublimation is a great option for sport wear as the design sinks into the fibres of the shirt and keeps the shirt quite lightweight. There is a limitation on the types of shirts sublimation will work with, for I generally use these polyester shirts from JB’s Wear.
Order Information
Pricing
Customised t-shirts pricing usually comprises of:
- Design set up – a one off fee ranging from $15 to $45 depending on your chosen method of decoration and how complicated the design is. If you’re using the same design on multiple items, the design set up fee will just be charged once for both your initial order and future orders using the same design.
- Decoration Services – the work to add your chosen design to your blank item. Again this price will vary depending on the method of decoration and the size and complexity of the design. If you order multiple items I do automatically give you a multi-item price break.
- Blank Item – the cost of your blank item. If you purchase your blank item through me at the same time as getting your design added to it, I can generally offer you a better price than if you purchase your own blank and have the decoration done separately. T-shirts generally range in price from $10 to $40 depending on the brand and style you choose.
- Postage – the cost to get your finished items to you
