    Hi all, 

        I typically make shirts and decals but a local little league team wants me to make them some small removable signs. The stick in the ground type for next years sign up and such. I am not sure on pricing. any basic rule that those of you that make these signs use for pricing. If I make them they would be blanks with vinyl put on them, any help is much appreciated.

    Hello all, 

            We do a local charity offroad clean up event every year and I usually make decals and shirts. This years design I am planning on a parts cross bone as part of the image design. 

    I searched and did not find what I am looking for so I am asking what maybe some of you have I could use. I am looking for axle shaft broken or not, driveshafts broken or not and also possible garbage grabber silhouettes or anything the like that might be a good choice someone is willing to share. 

       Thank you all in advance!

    I understand what you are saying Dakota and that it is not a profitable business model for the supplier.

    Maybe I worded My question incorrectly. So, Is it just stranded practice that if you are going to do a very small order you take the hit or pass the shipping cost onto the customer?

    I am asking to see what the people with many more years experience in shirt the business do or have found that works best for small runs or custom small orders.

    How do you deal with the shipping cost on small orders. Like only 2-3 blank shirts. when the shipping is just as much as the products. I have done several large orders and those get free shipping from supplier. However, I cannot seem to find a supplier that ships small orders for free or cheap. Ideas or what works for you?

    Hello People, 

            Well now that everything is in effect I am getting through the learning curve. Thus far my shirts are turning out quite well and have held up well to all my tests and the ones people now have seem  to love them . However, as I am a stickler to details I am trying to find the best ways to ensure the most correctly centered install of designs. I currently use the adjustable t shirt t square. It does help but I have had a couple shirts that I was not satisfied with placement and put in the oh crap pile. I have noticed from videos some people use the technique of fold the shirt and creasing the center slightly with the heat press then folding the transfer and creasing the transfer medium slightly then just centering the creases. What is everyone else's technique?

     

    Thank you in advance!

    So I have an upcoming volunteer event I am making shirts for. Using men sizing and most people are average middle aged adults. What shirt works best in sizing and fit for this crowd. Alot of the men are xl ish and the rest vary. Looking for a comfy shirt the stays close to size and everyone will like. It seems like alot of the all cotton shirts shrink and feel like cardboard. Suggestions from the experienced is appreciated.

    wildgoose, 

         I will be doing this by the order as well, mostly online. I just feel like customers would be more satisfied not waiting several days for processing of lets say a single or few shirts. 

    I have been making decals for a long time and now have been practicing HTV and feel I am ready to put some designs out in the world.

    Let's say some of you likely have been making shirts for a very long time. What would those of you that have, suggest someone starting out to stock and offer their clients?

    Obviously, I'm trying not to tie a large chunk of change up in shirts that will just sit on my shelf, also what has been personal feedback on brands and size? 

    Thanks, in advance!

    I agree with the .15 a square inch as a base line for single color oracal 651. This does all depend on your customer and project and if you are charging a design or set up fee as well.

    It takes time to understand not overcharging and not also taking away from the amount of value in your product and time. If i am working one on one with a client I try and find a value that makes sense for the product and client vs my time and how much one on one design or personal time they need.

    I have read almost every article on pricing here and online and talked to others, Value is a fine line of what someone is willing to pay and what you an do for them. many customers would be willing to pay alot more for your ability and trustworthiness to them if you excel early on in your business relationship. I think Knowing what you offer and saying steadfast up front that they are not only buying these decals but your time and expertise on the matter can help build value and even help the value of your design time on future projects.
