    Daycare T-shirts

    I designed a new daycare t-shirt and I wanted to see if the parents wanted to order the kids one. I ordered my last shirt from Custom Ink and they are kind of pricey along with the company I just designed the new one at. My question is do anyone know of a reasonable place I may can order online?

    I ordered mine from Vista print!

    I think they do free shipping after a certain amount and I found a coupon code for 50% off!

    It was great!

      I used ooshirts and they were fast to ship and the cheapest I found (using my own design).

      Do you have the patents buy the shirts? Do you keep them at daycare?

          The parents will have the option to buy one if they like. Starting next month we will be taking 2 field trips a week and I'm hoping that everyone buys one so we can wear them on the field trip days. If the parents buy them they can take them home, but if I end up buying them, I'll keep them here!

            I looked on Vista print, but I was wanting a neon green color and I think they only did white or gray.

              Oh that's true now that I think about it. I really like white shirts though.

                You could purchase the T-shirts yourself from Wal-Mart or Target and then print your logo or design on a special iron-on transfer paper and print it right from your PC.

                Then you take the paper and iron the design onto the T-shirt yourself.



                I do this with photographs of the DCK's. I put their pictures on white pillow cases and that way each child knows which pillow is theirs for rest time.

                  I looked on ooshirts and got a quote for a small red kid's cotton t-shirt with a colored graphic of a train (5 colors) on the back which was $20.36. I thought that was a little pricey.

                  At vista print I get a white kid's cotton t-shirt with the same design for $11.99. I always just wait until they have the free shipping sales and get all of my advertising stuff at once (tshirts, business cards, magnets etc).

                      I just had t-shirts made. I went with someone local because I wanted cute colors too. I ordered 9 for myself as I plan to wear them for my uniform and also everywhere I go. Ordered 2 for my helper and some for the daycare kids.
                      I went with someone local. He designed my logo for free if I bought shirts from him so I paid about $12-$13 a shirt and they have my logo on the front and a bible verse on the back. I love them! They are really cute. There was a 15 shirt minimum order but that was pretty easy to meet and if I want more later there's no minimum.

                        You have to call ooshirts to get a discount. I ordered 3 adult sizes and 14 kids sizes for $200. The shirts are bright yellow and had 6 colors.

                        I went on there today to see about ordering more and the prices were $20/each until I called.

                        I know vista print usually does really good deals. Or you can try a local print shop?

                          I would just buy them and keep them there.....It's much less hassle and you can keep them for other kids.

                            I saw that BUT IMO if you want to advertise (as I do) I would make them yourself if you can. Ordering them can be pricey. I like the "hot" colors. they really stand out! Plus, you can see the kids better.

                            I have safety green t shirts. They are hot green with black lettering....

                              That's a great point!
