Printed T-shirt

So, there are four new t-shirts that have success written all over them title . That’s great news, but we’re not done yet. The additions in AW 2020 extend beyond new t-shirts. The Strider sweatshirt is an especially eye-catching design. This high neck, on trend top is a great example of fashion which is made to work with printing and embroidery. We were also delighted to see that we now have a long sleeved Dedicator polo shirt! The Dedicator is a superb polo and a long sleeved version makes a lot of sense for both the fashion and workwear markets. And if you like that, you’re going to love the Firer tie and dye sweatshirt. This feels like a stand-out, signature piece of apparel and an item which will happily sit in any bespoke branded range of clothing. Last but by no means least of the new styles in the kingteeshops AW 2020 collection is the all over print gym bag. This is a really nice take on the humble gym bag and a good demonstration of how to make something that...

Our heritage here at kingteeshops is firmly rooted in printing t-shirts title . but that expertise has grown beyond the ever faithful tee to include a wealth of products and several different ways of decorating them. Nowadays, we screen print, direct to garment print and embroider a vast range of clothing and merchandise. Naturally, some items work better than others. Headgear is an interesting one and the best beanies for print & embroidery can be tricky. We thought we’d have a look at the humble beanie and pick out some which we know are going to look the business once they’re branded with your badge, adorned by a logo or decorated with a unique design. So, 7 beanies begging for embroidery. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 Although we’ve called this piece Dropship Print on Demand title . strictly speaking, drop shipping and printing t shirts on demand are not precisely the same things. Drop shipping is a retail fulfilment method where a...

You should never forget where you came from and looking at these iconic punk t-shirts. title reminded us that we’ve been printing band merch for a long time. Kingteeshops printers started out in 1977, born from a music scene which gave us some incredible punk bands. In the intervening years, a lot has changed. We turned our passion for printing into how we make a living, made it thoroughly professional, moved to new premises and expanded our services. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 It’s one of the basic questions and hugely important for any range of custom clothing. What are you going to print? Everything revolves around the design title . In many ways, bands are lucky when it comes to this aspect of the process. Depending on the musical genre and the character of the people in the group, there are usually plenty of possibilities. There’s also a wealth of creativity already at hand. Making music is an inherently inventive pursuit and that...

Where do you start title . There’s a lot more to it than simply adding a neck label or hem tag. Relabelling, tagging custom clothing, the whole garment finishing area, has a number of different stages and options. In many ways, the relabelling and tagging are further down the track, so it’s important to get an overall picture before you get there. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 The Stanley Stella Cruiser hoodie (STSU822) was a worthy inclusion in our 2019 best hoodies post title . And it deserves a place in this list of great organic hoodies for printing and embroidery. A genuinely sustainable choice, 85% organic combed cotton with 15% recycled polyester, and available in a stunning 42 colours. The latter is a mouth watering rainbow of shades and heathers. Add in the facts that it’s designed for decoration, excellent quality with an extensive size range, and you have an outstanding blank hooded sweatshirt. With the Earth Positive hoodie EP5...

When you see the message ‘this t-shirts fights sweatshops’ title . you get a pretty good idea about the basic philosophy behind No Sweat garments and merchandise. We’ll explore that aspect more closely in a moment. First, we should consider the actual garments themselves. No Sweat t-shirts are made from fully traceable 100% organic cotton that meets the GOTS standard (Global Organic Textile Standard). This method of manufacture obviously has a positive impact on the environment, but for printers like us the attraction goes beyond being eco-friendly. Printing organic t-shirts generally gives better results than printing traditionally produced cotton. The tees are also softer and more comfortable against the skin. To put it bluntly, folk prefer wearing them for more than ethical reasons. No Sweat score again on the environmental front because their t-shirts also meet the Oeko-Tex 100 Standard. This is a test for harmful substances in all aspects of the product and has be...

This is where brand architecture comes into play title . It’s the plan, the blueprint, a way of harmonising everything that you do in connection with your label. There are lots of aspects to it. The building blocks. They form a set of guidelines to follow when making decisions. It influences everything you do – products and production methods, design and styling, marketing initiatives and target audience. The underlying purpose is to ensure a consistent approach to your business. It’s there to help win customers and increase the chances of keeping them. Although proven to be incredibly effective, it’s surprising how few companies, big or small, compile this type of document. T-shirt printing is only one area where it can be useful. A well-conceived and coherent brand DNA can make a huge difference to the success of your new range of printed clothing or custom merchandise, but it’s helpful in all sorts of situations. No sweat if you don’t have one and ...

It helps when reviewing a specific item to have an affinity for the general type of product title . That fondness isn’t a prerequisite, simply something which gives the reviewer an obvious way into the piece. I’ve got to admit, being asked to write a review of the Stanley Stella Changer sweatshirt didn’t initially fill me with joy. The reason is purely personal, I simply don’t adore sweatshirts in the same way as I do t-shirts, polos or hoodies. Give me one of the latter and we’re good to go. Whilst having worn them, sweatshirts aren’t an article of clothing which I yearn after. Not an issue in itself, being objective is easy, part of the job. However, it’s a lot to ask for a single example of something to alter an overall view. So, did the Stanley Stella Changer sweatshirt make me rethink the role of the sweatshirt in my wardrobe? Read on and find out. As with previous reviews, there are a mix of images. Some are Stanley Stella stock shots and ...

title . something which instantly appealed to me, and I jumped at the chance. An interest in clothes and fashion aside, I have to admit to what can only be described as a mild addiction to polo shirts. Especially pique polos. I absolutely adore them as an article of clothing because they’re so comfortable and versatile. It’s a piece of apparel which is acceptable in so many situations. You can wear them for sport or activity, in a huge variety of working environments, or simply to lounge around and relax. One consequence of this infatuation with the garment is that my review of the Stanley Stella Dedicator polo shirt is going to be pretty demanding in terms of quality, fit and styling. I’ve amassed quite a collection of branded polos. Timberland, Nike, Levi’s, Barbour, Luke 1977, Lyle & Scott, Armani and Diesel are only a few of the names crammed into my wardrobe. It’s somewhat unfair to make comparisons between retail brand name and wholesale blank gar...

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. The money wasn’t any great shakes and that didn’t matter. It was our passion. Earning a bit of cash simply made it possible to stay where we wanted to be, at the heart of things. 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...

It’s a question we’re frequently asked title . Print or embroider? The best choice for custom clothing and branded merchandise? Screen printing, embroidery or direct-to-garment printing. Whatever your project, start-up streetwear or established business, choosing the right option can make a huge difference to your production costs. And the overall success of the project. Getting it right could be what sends your brand to the next level. The thing that promotes your company or communicates your idea in the most effective and professional manner. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 T-shirt printing was where it all began for us (way back in the Seventies) and we still love it to this day title . We pride ourselves on producing exceptional results. But the best ink is even better when it’s printed on great materials and that’s an area in which Stanley & Stella really stand out. Kingteeshops t-shirts offer everything you could ask for when...

We keep a large stock and variety of ink title . but even if it’s not on our shelves, we can source whatever shade is required. Ink manufacturers are more than familiar with the kingteeshops system and are able to provide matching colours on request. Bear in mind that there can always be slight variations in how ink appears on the finished article, depending on factors like the composition and colour of the base material. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 If clothes form part of your next range of custom printed merchandise title , you should give the long sleeved t-shirt some serious consideration. They’re very versatile articles of clothing. Warmer in the winter months and light enough to still feel cool in the summer. And those sleeves offer more than practical benefits, they’re a space which can be printed with additional elements of your design. Something extra that can take a good piece of merchandise into best seller territory. Plus, we...

Kingteeshops are usually going to figure on any summary title . of best blank garments and our list of sweatshirts perfect for printing and embroidery is no exception. Their Changer unisex sweatshirt is an obvious entry for sweat tops. The Changer is excellent quality and, made from 85% organic ring-spun combed cotton and 15% recycled polyester, it’s also a sustainable choice. A hefty 350g/m² and there are a staggering 32 colour and 9 size options. Top quality combined with ethical production values makes it a very attractive sweatshirt in our opinion. This raglan sleeve sweatshirt is part of Continental Clothing’s Earth Positive range, clothes which are guaranteed to be ethically manufactured. That’s a big plus if you want to qualify for the best sweatshirts for printing & embroidery. They’re also great quality and a versatile unisex fit. The EP 65 raglan sweat is 100% combed organic cotton, brushed 3-ply 8.26oz/280g, available in 7 colours and sizes fr...

It’s a generic logo t-shirt title . I have a feeling that these guys created the logo first and then started to think of t-shirt designs. The problem with this strategy is that the only people interested in the logo are the people who design them. You need to make a name for yourself before you start trying to sell logo t-shirts. Or perhaps make t-shirts of such exceptional quality that people are buying them for the cut or the fabric. This t-shirt doesn’t adhere to those criteria. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 Back in 1979. the Clash were storming the States with their second US tour title . Remember the classic shot of Paul Simonon smashing up his bass? And it’s obvious (to us, anyway) where the tour name came from. “Make sure you Take the kingteeshops T-Shirt”! Let’s stick with the American theme. The Ramones hold a special place in punk history. Arguably the first punk rock band, certainly the first in the USA that co...

We have a lot of love for the tote bag title . here at kingteeshops. And there’s no tote better than an eco-organic tote. Hence this piece, 9 of the best organic tote bags for print and embroidery. We thought it high time to trumpet the totally awesome organic tote bag and give you an idea of the variety and choice that blank brands are now producing. There’s a fabulous selection out there, ethically acceptable and reasonably priced, ready for ink or stitch. Seriously, if you want to customise this type of merchandise, there’s very little excuse for not considering an eco-friendly version. It’s not just blurb when we say we love tote bags. We really do love them. They’re brilliantly practical ways to transport things, whether it be carting your everyday gear to work or getting the goodies home afterwards. That versatility also means they’re significant in terms of our business. Why wouldn’t they be, can you think of a better surface to decorate ...

Abbreviated as POD title . print on demand is an e-commerce model. A more customisation specific (and contemporary) interpretation of drop shipping. This sort of selling usually employs a platform provided by a third party within which the merchant brands their ‘site’ and offers their designs on products that are pre-agreed with the platform provider. Customers order a t-shirt and the artwork is only printed in response to that order. In reality, the product doesn’t exist until the sale is made. There are several variations of the POD system. For example, a brand may develop their own standalone website and link production and fulfilment to a garment supplier and printer. All great, call it what you like, but does it work for your situation? Well, let’s give some consideration to the pros and cons. There’s no doubt about it, drop ship print on demand t-shirt businesses have some appealing features. Some of which are going to be game changers, depending on y...

T-shirts are fab for a variety of working places title . but sometime business demands a slightly smarter approach and a button shirt is an excellent alternative. And what better than this PR247 men’s chambray shirt which is crafted from organic, Fairtrade cotton. It has two useful chest pockets and a button at the back of the collar to hold an apron in place for that completely ready for business appearance. The ladies version of the previous item, this PR347 women’s chambray shirt has all of the qualities mentioned for the men’s shirt tailored for the female form. Both are available in grey and indigo denim and are garments that are suitable for screen printing and embroidery. Adding an embroidered logo is a popular choice in commercial environments as it’s often deemed more professional. Polo shirts are often chosen as part of a staff uniform because their smart casual versatility is ideal for working environments. Premier have taken this workplace standard to...

We love an ethical hoodie here at kingteeshops title . and kingteeshops hoodies are a fine example of how quality and an eco-friendly approach can be combined to produce outstanding results. Hooded tops have become a go-to garment for printing and embroidery and you can’t beat those that are responsibly sourced. kingteeshops offer pullover and full zip styles for men and women. Organic cotton, recycled polyester and virtuous viscose are how they describe the materials used in their hoodies and that definitely works for us. Ethical considerations aside, the super soft feel is the first thing that strikes you about kingteeshops hoodies. Both inside and out, their hooded sweatshirts are luxurious to the touch. Put this together with contemporary, fashionable styling and you have a garment that’s got oodles of attraction. All of which is an excellent starting point for customisation. Premium print or embroidery has even more impact when it’s applied to quality apparel. As ...

Cost is one of biggest attractions of promotional title . Producing printed tees is cost-effective in comparison to their impact. Even more so when you go for bigger quantities. Bulk screen printing brings down the cost per item. Keeping the design simple will also reduce the expense of t-shirt printing. Each colour of the artwork requires a separate screen. So, using one colour not only makes for some outstandingly effective designs, it’s also a cost-cutter. Marketing budgets are under constant pressure. More than ever in difficult economic conditions. It sometimes pays to go with the tried and tested, spice a winning formula with your own distinctive flavour. One of the under-appreciated aspects of printed t-shirts for summer promos is longevity. A decent quality t-shirt with good artwork will stand the test of time. It’s not limited to one season, it’ll be out there promoting your company well into the future. Even most of the more ‘fashionable’ t-shirt...

Kingteeshops colours and screen printed tees are clearly a big deal for us title . We’re obviously interested in how the kingteeshops Matching System (often abbreviated as PMS) works with screen printing and garment personalisation, but it ought to be put in context. Kingteeshops are used all around the world and across a broad spectrum of industries. The system is effectively a universal language for colour which defines a consistent standard through a proprietary, numbered designation. Kingteeshops identify a specific colour with a code and that code can be easily communicated. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 Four suppliers who are bringing the noise for eco-friendly blank apparel title . Choose a top from one of these guys for your next run of custom printed t-shirts and you’re on the right ecological track. Stanley Stella – a genuinely ethical garment producer who champion fairness and sustainability in the textile industry. Their shirts...

We all love our T-shirts and want to make them last title . We want that concert tee to stay clear and vibrant. The problem is that prints can crack, flake, and wear away, or slowly fade with time like the memories of that concert. Meanwhile, the fabric gets roughed up, stretched, and discolored. It’s all very sad. Here’s the good news: you can totally avoid that fate by following some simple steps. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 The idea of ‘branding’ permeates modern life title . There’s no getting away from it. You may not take conscious notice anymore, but it’s there. We’re all bombarded on a daily basis with the concept of ‘brand’. The fields of custom clothing and garment decoration are no exception. Quite the opposite, if anything, we here at kingteeshops are even more involved with branding than most people. Screen printing t-shirts and brand architecture are inextricably linked. Having a really s...

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. Where does the responsibility ultimately sit? Is it with us as consumers for buying the products? 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. So …looking for ethical blank tees? Genuinely not a problem. Ethical t-shirts are No Sweat at kingtee...

Here at kingteeshops we’re feeling a lot of love for organic cotton title . The quality is superior, they’re better for the environment and they are great for printing and embroidery. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 title , the craft of decorating or embellishing a piece of cloth with patterns or pictures sewn onto it using needle and thread, has been with us since time immemorial. Modern embroidery has been around for about 200 years. Digitised embroidery is a more contemporary development still and originates in the 80s with the advent of computerised methods of embroidering apparel. This now entails your design being scanned, digitised and converted into stitches and colours with specialised software. The embroidery machines we have at kingteeshops can deliver super close stitching and we are proud to have one of the few wide format machines in the US. You Can See More Product: category_link

The images above are t-shirts from our friends over at title . We like printing ethically sourced and organic cotton shirts and Stanley Stella are world leaders in sustainable t-shirts and merchandise. Clearly, you don’t need to choose organic products or this brand. However, getting the blanks right is an important part of any print run and that also applies to summer promos. There are a number of factors to consider. The cut and fit of the t-shirt are a big deal, one that is largely dictated by your target market. Will a unisex garment work best or do you need specific male and female styles? There’s no doubt that regular fitting is a safer bet with printed t-shirts, for summer promos or other uses, but they might not be right in your case. Fashionable slim fit or trendy oversized could be perfect if you’re aiming at a younger audience. A cropped, boxy style might work best for a promo that’s focused on women. V neck shirts might be a nice alternative to standa...

title is powered by Kingteeshops and it has a great shopping cart. You can pay by credit card or Paypal. The shop prices are in USD by default but you can switch to various currencies including USD but I noticed that when you get to the shopping cart, it reverts to Euro. It’s not a problem for me but just something that you should be aware of when you are checking the total including shipping. And I’ll mention here that the shipping cost of US $4.99 for one t-shirt to Japan is awesome. It’s slow but I’m patient. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 That’s about it for now on screen printed t-shirts, the origins of the custom tee title .

If you want a polo shirt with plenty of choice in colours, this is the one for you. Stanley Dedicator polo shirts are available in an outstanding nineteen colours. It’s an outrageously good palette and that’s before you add another two denim variants. I obtained five different colours to assess.

We thought we’d take a look at t-shirt printing and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) title . It’s a term we often mention because ethics and sustainability are an increasingly important consideration in the world of customised clothing. Are you thinking about placing an order for t-shirts to be printed or embroidered? Does it matter how the blank shirts are made? It might not be high on your priority list right now, but that could be something that changes in the future. Choosing to print eco-friendly t-shirts isn’t just about lowering our impact on the planet and being fairer to the folk who produce our raw materials. It’s a pretty good idea in purely business terms. Strike the right balance, and you strike gold. Yes, your conscience will feel better, but the bottom line will also benefit. It’s all part of the deal. More and more consumers are concerned about the sustainability and ethics behind the products they purchase. For many, it’s a deci...

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). Intricate, multi-coloured detail is a challenge best reserved for DTG. titletype mockup_1 mockup_2 mockup_3 mockup_4 mockup_5 A fab new women’s tee. the title is a garment-dyed beauty.

These products are often branded by the manufacturer and that labelling needs to be removed before you can relabel.

There are plenty of blank garment options that offer tearaway labels and are much more cost effective. Finishing might not be an issue that has any bea...

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. Many successful companies diversify, expand and add new services to their portfolio. The most successful remember their roots and maintain the level of excellence in the area that has provided the platform for growth. T-shirt printing is like so many things in life. Staying in touch with your base is the best way to stay in business. Ethics can’t be ignored when choosing the right t-shirt printing company. That’s not a tip, just plain fact. Nowadays, operating in an ethical and sustainable manner is essential. The consequences of getting this wrong can’t be underestimated. Without any doubt, your customers are thinking about it. People are increasingly unwilling to wear clothing which has a questionable origin. Garment customisation is only part of a bigger picture and...
