hey Sam,
i am all for getting a shirt or two, i used to work for a screenprinting company,
you can get some shirts done relatively cheap, if you keep the amount of colors simple-ex....
some black and whites of your shrunken heads maybe add some pinstripe.....
detail doesnt=$$$
the amount of colors does though.
for each color you will need to have a separate screen made which always includes a screen charge approx $50.00 a color plus the cost of the shirt [ hanes beefy t are approx $2.50-$5.00 bux depending on color and quantity]
plus the cost of printing a shirt which can vary alot [depends on color/quantity etc...]
and you may have to pay an art charge for the company to take your artwork and get it to a usable form for printing
so for a gross-144pc of black shirts]=$500
a one color screen [ say white shrunken heads with some pinstripe/logo around them]=$50.00
some art fee=$50.00
and the cost of printing say $3.00-$5.00each}=$500.00
i figure you could get em done for about a grand----half of that if on white shirts.....
now im not quoting you a price im just trying to give you an idea what would be involved and approximate cost, if you found a company willing to work with you it would cost about that much but could easily be double if they were treating you like a retail type customer
muti color prints or four color process can skyrocket the cost
usually the art fee and screen charge are one time deals after that you just pay for shirts and printing..
try and get some shirts from a wholesaler like Broder Bros or alpha shirt company or the like you can get all their stuff ready to print for cheap, including hats etc......
so if you got a 144 shirts printed and were able to sell em for $10.00 a peice youd still be a head of the game!
and most people sell em for 15-20 bux! and if it worked and you reordered and got say 500 pc or 1,000 pcs the cost would get lower still on the shirts and the printing with no set up charge the second time around...
just dont give em all away to your friends at tiki central!! well maybe just a few----------dozen!
id be happy to share any info you need in this dept..
