I talk to many people weekly wanting to start their own line of apparel. Starting with graphic tees is a relatively affordable and easy way to dip your toe in the water when wanting to get into designing for the fashion world. Most people are expressing their preference to manufacture their prints using top quality apparel. Obviously, everyone wants printed t shirts their customer will love and hopefully reorder. When considering options, it is important to think about a few factors. Availability of inventory, shipping charges from the vendor to you, material compositions of the shirts themselves.
Ask your manufacturer or t shirt blanks vendor, what the inventory levels are and how often they replenish stock in the sizes and colors they offer. Sometimes, vendors have limited supplies on hand, and this could affect your ability to fulfil your own orders. Sticking to basic colors like black, white, ash grey, red, navy helps mitigate inventory shortages since these basic retail colors are the options with healthy inventory levels by way of the third-party suppliers.
Shipping and delivery charges could eat away at your margins if you don’t consider this when pricing out your online retail price to your end users. Suppliers offer free shipping after a certain dollar amount. Normally around $250 – $300. An option to avoiding shipping charges is ordering blanks from a company like www.miamitees.us .
