Printed T-Shirts are a nice way to say thank you to people who attend an event, volunteer for a cause or participate in a project. When you think of “getting them a little something” your ideas can run the gauntlet from a thank you card, to a trophy or a plaque, maybe even a gift certificate for a free meal or movie tickets etc.
You would probably never bother with a printed custom T-shirt as the cost for such a thing would be out of the question. There’s the set up fees for the type setting or silk screen, the printing itself plus the shirts, the hours of processing and the drying and the postage. If they even enter your mind as a possibility it probably leaves quickly when you think of the cost.
Well go ahead and think of the cost. Nowadays the screens used to apply the ink to a printed T-shirt are made up with a computer printer and the process for applying printing to shirts has also changed and gotten more economical. So having a small batch of custom T-shirts made up is probably cheaper than some of the standard thank you items people spend good money on. It used to be you need to order 100 shirts to make the price even out. Nowadays a run as small as 25 to 50 can actually be cheap compared to a decade ago.
