Best way to do keep calm tshirts?

[Dave271069]

I've been approached by a retailer in my area who as requested lots of keep calm and his own slogan t-shirts. He want to sell and give them away to customers and local sports teams who use his shop, (a butchers)
What I would like to know is what would you suggest as a good way to do the KC logo. Would you cut the lettering out of in vinyl nd press on to a coloured tshirt, would you cut the lettering out on coloured vinyl eg greens blues reds and press onto white tshirts. Or has anyone ever weeded out the lettering and pressed on the vinyl that is left so you would have a square of coloured vinyl and the keep calm logo etc would be cut out showing the tshirt underneath if you know I'm talking about.
To cut it short what is the best method to print keep calm t-shirts.

I would have thought the answer is, whatever way the customer wants them

No, the customer has given me a idea what he wants, it's down to me to give him a example which will sell that idea back to him. I've got the design but looking for the best way to produce the item.

simples - print and contour cut the lettering and the logo...that is if you want it to look nice n neat without any square border around it -which smacks of cheap looking and printer cant be bothered IMHO.

I done it with flock no problems at all...


white lettering or black is the standard norm - with crown matching.

guy was leaving work so i did for him orange flock "keep calm and sit on my face" looked brilliant and he loved it!!!

"sentence is well known and ver funny to him "

[Dave271069]

So something like this should be ok ?
lush's is the name of his butchers, no crown just a little piggy.

i done mine at - word "calm" was 10" max across - the "keep" was 8" so it sits in the middle of the calm word...the other words depends on what you wanna put on there....you want it to be big enough, but when you put your arms down, you should still be able to see the writing ok without the end letters getting obscured with the fabric when your arms are down .

hope that helps a bit

note...and thats on a xxl and a xxxl shirt

Every one has there own way of doing these...ask others on here and it will prob be different...
