What are some tshirt printing services that allow printing on the entire shirt? -

Hey there :)So I want to start making tshirts, more for the fun of it than for the profit. I came up with a lot of good ideas that I think are really creative, but most of them are meant to be printed on different places on a shirt. Most tshirt printing services limit printing to the middle chest area. One of my ideas, for example, is a necklace printed on the shirt. This, of course, would be printed on the collar area. And so, I was wondering if there were any printing services that allowed for printing on any portion of the shirt, or the entire shirt?Thanks so much in advance!P.S: I d prefer screen printing to digital/heat printing.Also, price isn t that important, however I can t afford to go over 30$ a shirt.

the real reasons most don t is the problems created in trying to get an even print on uneven surfaces. Like the seams, collars and over lapping pockets and under arm front to back full prints. It just can not be guaranteed work and the printers aren t going to eat the losses so they don t get done. Make a fabric that has what you want on it and then cut the fabric to make the shirt already pre printed. an iron on transfer might be the only way to get over seams and on collars done.

printing on the collar? if you have talked to all the screen printers in your area and they all say no, give it up, because obviously it cannot be done or it is too labor intensive and probably high chance of bad prints - which YOU would have to pay for and it would just make the shirts too expensive and I can;t imagine anyone wanting to pay $30 for a T-shirt - you will very lucky if you even get $12-14, so your cost has to stay below $4-5 to have any chance at selling them wholesale (which is at AT LEAST a 50% discount off retail for the store buying your shirts to re-sell-which leaves you with about $2 a shirt profit) - you would also have to buy at least 12 of each design and probably 48 to get good pricing and each design will probably have a setup charge and you cannot use anyone else s copyrighted designs or LOGOs without a licensing agreement and paying royalties

Hi. We are t-shirt manufacturers and do custom printing on them as well. What is the quantity (number of t-shirts) that you have in your mind ? What type of t-shirts (Polo or round neck) ?

I work at a screen print shop. We do screen printing about anywhere you want it on a t-shirt. Our screen print guy is very good. He does awesome shirts.
