T shirt printing business, help!
posted by (Sep 13, 2009 @ 6:41PM) views: 317
Me and my friends want to start a t shirt printing business. All of us are students. Now, hmmm... our courses are not related with business however we're really interested in this kind of thing. Also we don't have any idea how to start this t-shirt printing business. We don't know what are the things needed to ponder on. We don't know how much capital is needed. We don't even know what are the materials needed. We're not even aware on the prices of plain t-shirts. And most of all, we don't really know the flow of business. Meaning... We're all beginners.

by the way, we're thinking of making it an online store first. but i don't know anything about those shipping and paypal stuffs. there are a lot of online t shirt printing business (statement shirts, funny shirts, fmcc clothings) already.

wait, i think there are different ways of printing shirts: silk screen, digital printing, etc... so what do you think is cheaper? what about the print quality?

So anybody out there who can help us in this t shirt printing business... suggestions and comments will be appreciated.

hmm.we have the same plans,same friends,and same concept of trying to make a profit.is it possible that we know each other?: r o l l : 

anyways,my friend has started her own t-shirt printing business.it's a matter of contacts i think.she has her contacts with the providers of raw materials so the problem of owning a printing machine is fixed.so when you need to start a business,i think you should try to find the whos who of your business.try to locate people who can provide you with raw materials,then if you are willing to provide the manpower yourselves,then it's a matter of work distribution among the members. : s m i l e : 

goodluck to your business.may we all be rich someday : l o l :

First, you have to find out your target market.

Internet is well and good, but the fact is you might be getting orders from places that are WAAAYYY beyond your reach. Remember that the internet is wide, if you can narrow down your search, that would be awesome.

Also, I think you should start canvassing on materials. If you opt for digital printing, do you have the printers, the ink or would you have to buy that first?

T-Shirt Printing Businesses usually start off from orders. But if you want, you can start printing Statement Shirts since they seem to be a big hit nowadays.

Paint for shirts are usually P150 pesos.
The you will need the screen.
It's important that you have someone who can draw for you and manage the designs.
Shirts depends on the quality. I think it's somwehere around 120, I think.

Start off with your friends as models. Better yet, wear shirts that you make. If others comment on it, say: You like it? Gumagawa kami nito.
