Rare offtopic Posted February 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I know it's corny to get shirts made for the cruise, but I'm going with a big group and we think it will be fun to get custom shirts and possibly koozies made. My question is what websites/companies have you used in the past and would you recommend them? Obviously we want a good price to quality balance.

wdsted Posted February 11, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I don't think we can commercial recommendations but google "custom t-shirts" and consider a business that rhymes with custom stink. We've used them in the past and it's easy to design your stuff and they're reliable. I don't know how their pricing compares to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaperts Posted February 11, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Boss Lady wants to buy T-Shirts and Neon Paint and make our own shirts for the Glow Party:) Best thing for the glow parties is a white shirt and black printing, 2nd best is neon colors with black, true neon will react best with the black light, but white gives the most wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOPHIHEYY Posted February 11, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 11, 2018 We ordered t-shirts from uber prints. It worked out to 20something a person because we had each one individualized and a different color, different name etc. If you get them all the same its a bit cheaper.

GQMFacacia Posted February 11, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 11, 2018 look at teepublic[dot]com I design my group event shirts like bachelor(ette) or vacay designs and then I upload to my store and buy them myself for around $14 per shirt. Afterwards, i deactivate the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug R. Posted February 12, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I vote for corny when off the ship and ok onboard as long as they don't act like a mob (trying to reserve a massive number of seats in theaters or rows of loungers in prime areas for the latecomers). On one of my Princess cruises were were in St Thomas on a cruise where a large group wore orange tees. I was browsing in a store when one of the saleswomen said here comes more Orange People! The other salespersons rolled their eyes. Apparently a large group of them before had clogged the store earlier preventing other shoppers from entering, purchased nothing and left together.

LrgPizza Posted February 12, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Look for local shops near you where you can pick them up in person. Get a quote. You will save loads off what you might pay with the mainstream shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to agree with you on this, we always make ourselves some shirts but ours is a subtle inside joke for us, I've also given "commemorative" shirts as door prizes at meet and greets we organized, hookie, yes, but hey THEY WERE FREE!

RickinNYC Posted February 12, 2018 #18 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I order tshirts from CustomInk for work. Though I do order a several hundred at a time, I do know they work with much smaller orders. Excellent customer service and they have a handy online design tool as well. They also do koozies!

You will save loads off what you might pay with the mainstream shops. I was just going to post the same thing. In San Diego there are tons of t shirt places with row upon row in every color and style you can imagine ! I found one on Sports Arena Blvd. No matter what you decide or where you buy, highly suggest you buy one size larger than One normally wears unless everyone getting a shirt can try it on first. T shirts don't cost a fortune and are not usually sized as we are used to. I took my 3 daughters on cruise in 2016'and had 4 shirts made special. They were beautiful and not too expensive but "all" a little tight. Will probably never be able to wash and then wear them again. But it was soooo. Much fun!!!

Daily I have people in my office saying "wow that's cheap! we paid-Custom, or uber, or vista - twice that last time...and I'm sad for them and me, them they paid too much, and me, I must be too cheap! Plus those big outfits just farm the job to a printer near you and you are paying that mark up to a middle man, and the local printer is getting wholesale money instead of retail, you lose, printer loses. We have been approached several times and just won't do their work for what they pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaperts Posted February 12, 2018 #22 Share Posted February 12, 2018 did they heat stick them or did they have a digital printer, a color jet that prints on the shirt? Just curious, I love my digital and the shirts it makes, it's my retirement plan....:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
