My first post  ;)

So we are planning to make some shirts for E3 event.
Any recommendation for printing service? We are not looking to sell online like Cafepress because I think it over charge the fans.  
We would like to make shirts as affordable as possible.
Requirement: front and back images. Also right sleeve has adhesive logo.
The quote we have so far for 100 shirts is 15 a pop which is too much IMO.
We would like it to be somewhere between 8-10.
Remember that shipping and handling will cost us 7 bucks.
So just to break even without labor is 15-17 bucks already.


Anyway, back to the question. Good cheap t-shirt printing service?
Thanks ahead for the tips  :D

Its gonna be hard to find a price much cheaper than that especially seeing that your doing a back and front image. But you never know u mite find someone out there starting a business and maybe give you a discount price. As for a shirt if it just had the pic below on a black shirt i'd buy it (Hawken is a pretty badass name)

A quick search led me to a site called customink.com. At a glance, it apparently offers a wide variety of apperal and prices based on the quantity you order. The shipping is free and you can get an instant price quote for no extra charge. A few minutes of tinkering with its custom design page showed me that you can upload images from your own files. I hope this helps.

CustomInk has good customer service and competitive prices.  Also check out http://www.discountmugs.com.  Their customer service is not quite as good as CustomInk, but they have the best prices around for orders of the size you want.

I am definitely getting one! If you set this up, please have international shipping. I get so pissed when companies don't ship apparel to the UK.

Bungie namely, aha.

But yeah, I'll definitely be picking up a shirt. As for a printing company, I have no idea.

You might be interested in size distribution.  You can see a poll on that here:  http://www.mektek.ne... ... hirt-size/

I would add some 4XLarge though to cover all your bases.

Whatever company you choose, please please please make sure that fans can order a tee or two as well :-)

Good luck with the E3 prep!

Wait, so, you are going to be selling them online or not?  Because I totally want one but cannot make it to E3.  I will be with you in heart, and if you'd like, you can send me shirt in box :D

Just out of curiosity, what'll it look like?  The blue or white HAWKEN name on a black tee?  I'd love something minimalist like that.

My  sons and I will buy and wear shirts with giant robots with guns on them.    They will not wear shirts with cool sounding names on them unless they are swag.   My son wears his "Deimos" shirt every day that it is clean.  He wears his "Virtual World" shirt when it happens to be on top of the pile.  Just sayin!
