So, I'm planning on getting a tshirt brand out there in the next few months, and could do with some advice/help on t-shirt printing.
If anyone on the board has there own clothing gig going on, or have printed t-shirts in the past, could you please inbox me so I can chew your ear off for a few minutes.
Thanks.

FAIL EPIC FAIL!
Right I'll just ask some questions here instead.
- Which places do large surface printing. So basically not the restricted box printing.
- Where do you get neck labels and even the little square labels you get on corners or the bottom of t-shirts?
- what's the best approach for packaging the goods? bearing in mind low start up cost to begin with.
Does anyone on the board have any links to their own t-shirt companies?

My brother prints all kinds of apparel and can print clear plastic packaging too, as well as labels. I've got some designs that I want him to make up for me. If you're interested, drop me an email and I might be able to get you a sample.

I ran an online tshirt shop for a few years selling tees that myself and a mate were doing.
I used t-print.co.uk to get my tshirts printed. They do an excellent service and speedy too. I'm sure that they even had the neck labels made for me to the designs i'd supplied them with.
I agree that printing the label on the inner neck is cool. But having an actual label is a lot more satisfying personally.
I'm not sure how large their screenprints can go.
Think the largest I went to was about A3 kind of sized print on a tee.Packaging - most places that print the tees for you will have each of the tees folded and shrink-wrapped for you. T-print did anyway.
You could make your own packaging/stickers to accompany or replace this wrapper.- t-print DID do the labels for me (maybe 3rd party?) and sewed onto shirts before printing23kon

Thanks for the geography correction but it was just tongue in cheek! All of my comments are, they should not be taken seriously.
Thank you, when I get to the position of getting some made I will post them on here.
