Customize Your Screen Print

Custom screenprinting is not just a method of transferring images to T-Shirts; CUSTOM SCREEN-PRINTING is an ART-FORM !

When a screenprinter grabs the palette, there are THREE COLORS of specialty paint, RED, GREEN, & YELLOW. With these three colors, the screen printer can create over 1,000,000 different colors for YOUR logo! Just think about that for a moment…

That means there will be some discretion left to the screenprinter as to the fact that screenprinting will have shades of color that only their discerning eyes will know how to create.

When you think about color, each color has hues and shade that are very subtle. When a color is named, that does not mean that it will be the same with every company that makes that color. For example if you want a royal blue, you will get a color that in effect is similar to your idea of royal blue, but it may not be exact to your minds image of royal blue. 

The best way to avoid undesired color in your screen printed logo is to write down the colors you desire. When you have yellow, red or green in your description, these primary colors are those that the screen printer can maintain discretion over. If you special colors for you logo, such as a navy blue or a baby blue, you will have to pay extra for each special color. In effect it requires the screenprinter to use additional colors different from usual.

Screen printing requires different setup and production methods for different types of clothing to be printed on. Screen printing will be cheaper if the color is being put onto a white garment as opposed to a colored garment. 

When getting multiple items screen printed, the more you order the more your cost will be reduced. There are initial charges for set up, charges for screenprinting on colored items, and additional charges per item for specialty garments or items such a bags or hats. There is a charge for the initial setup of the project as well. So when you get custom screenprinting make sure you know what you will get will have an artist touch and a slightly subjective component in the reproduction process.

Finding the Clothes You Need

I have been looking for a company to do the custom monogramming on the jackets and uniforms for my daughter’s soccer team for several weeks now, but I had not been able to find one that does not require a minimum order until I ran across www.clothing4all.com. My daughter’s soccer team is small, and all of the other sites required a minimum order, and who wants to pay for 50 uniforms if there are only 15 kids on the team? Even buying a few extra, there is no justification in buying 50 uniforms. Their prices for the embroidery and screen printing were the lowest we found, even compared to some sites that required a minimum order. Since we saved money, we were able to get the girls’ jackets personalized. The girls love their jackets and their uniforms. Next year, we will not have to search for a place, and if there are 2 new girls on the team or 10 new girls, it will not matter.
We were able to get the jackets, the uniforms and even equipment monogrammed, and with over 30 name brands to choose from we were able to get the colors and the brands we wanted to keep the girls happy. Several of the girls even wore their uniform jackets off the field, and their parents have used the site for gifts and other team apparel. We all know how kids are -- if you don’t have the right brands, you are not cool, but we did not have to worry about that at www.clothing4all.com and my wallet was happy too.
There is no minimum order, even for sports apparel. If you are looking for good quality and great prices, then www.clothing4all.com is the best place to look. Whether you are looking for something for a sports team, walk-a-thons, or even a bridal shower, this is the place to look. They have over 30 name brands to chose from, and every color you could think of. In this economy today, it is always great to find a company that still cares about the consumer, and gives the quality and the prices we need and want, and you will not see off brands that no one has ever heard of, these are high quality and very well known brands including Ogio, and Port-Authority. Among other things, one of the things I liked best about the site is the glossary. If you are not sure exactly what something means, you can look it up right there on their site!
