Demand for Low Price Cotton T-shirts
Is Cotton on The Rise?
The recent plateaued cost of cotton has helped us meet this challenge. Cottonseed has plateaued during the summer 2011 months. Its helps us as a screen printing business, hold the prices for our re-orders from the previous year to stop from increasing.
Back in 2010 when the price of cotton nearly increased over 100%, it was forecasted that in 2011, the cottonseed supply was expected to rebound. Better planning tactics, forecasting of product demand, and improved weather conditions are all likely factors that could be responsible for this plateau. The fashion industry is very pleased for this news and is hoping that it stays like this for years to come.
Share with us your struggles or hardships over this past year in regards to Cotton prices.

6 Tips For Designing Your Own T Shirts
If you are creative and love to produce original designs then you’ll love making your own t shirts. There is no greater satisfaction than for someone to compliment you on a design and to see the look of surprise on their face when you tell them you made it yourself.Nowadays, it is easier than ever to make original custom tee shirts without resorting to poor-quality, iron-on transfers. ESP Solutions has a free online software program that lets you:
- Choose from a variety of different clothing items, from t-shirts to sweatpants
- Choose from a number of different font types
- Choose from a selection of different stock designs
- Upload your own artwork, logos, or pictures
- Choose different clothing colors-you can change the color of the item instantly
- Place the order online
Tee Shirt Designing Tips
1. Use text and images with clean lines and crisp contrast, Ideally, you want people to be able to see and understand the t-shirt design text from at least 20 feet away
2. Consider both the t shirt color and the design or text color when creating your design. ESP Solutions designing program allows you to see your design on different color t-shirts before you order. Make sure you have enough contrast otherwise you will not see your design well when printed. Note that the cost of printing white ink on a black t shirt is higher than black ink on a white t shirt
3. Decide on the exact dimensions of your design before creating it. Take a t shirt you own and lay out your size on the tee shirt to make sure the size is right
4. Choose a location for the image on the item. Do you also want a design on both front and back? Do you want something on the sleeve. The more locations to print the higher the cost
5. Decide if you want a background to your image or the surrounding area transparent. The software we use allows you to remove the background color so your image and text “pops” and looks more natural
6. Be realistic about your expectations. Do not expect on-demand garment printing technology to deliver the same color quality and sharpness that you are used to with a traditional color photo printer. No matter who prints it-the color accuracy and color saturation will vary, and the overall color of the print is typically tinted by the underlying shirt color. We recommend that you make your colors a little brighter in your design as they may not be as bright when printed on clothing.
We hope these tips make your project a success. If you need more design tips or help using the software program just give us a call toll-free at 1-800-750-1035 and we’ll be glad to help.
