Check out the Xpres XP520 SubliPlus T-Shirts, I too have a customer that doesn't like the thinner shirt materials, but he loves the xpres ones as they are as thick as cotton shirts and feel just the same too.

You could print onto Russell HD-T shirts, darker colour will sublimate but gives washed out/vintage look. Looks great but not sure if customer wants this look!?

Embroidery might not be as much as you think. I can get quote for this but pretty sure others in this thread could sort that for you anyway.

Logo would look good smaller as a pocket print onto polos

There are a few options...

I could supply you with prints using the T.One system from The Magic Touch, Personally I think it is a superb system and the finish is spot on. Transfers are pretty robust as well. Please note you must have a very good heat press to apply these transfers and they are not suitable for black or very dark garments, they do work really well with some colours and it is a case of having a go and see. You could even press on black, its just the white is a bit too weak for that.

You could ask someone to supply you with WOW transfers (I am not confident enough to supply these on a bulk deal). Someone like LOGOBEAR I think does them.

You could get a company such as Jester Prints to print plastisol transfers for you

Screen print which would cost about £20-25 set up and then about 50p per garment which would all need to be printed at the same time.

Find a member who has a DTG machine and ask them for a trade deal

50p each on 20? Wow, put me in touch with your screen printer! lol.

Aha, I missed the 20 bit

I would expect to pay about £1.00 - 1.50 then

That said, I know of two companies that pay that price on that quantity and up to 4 colours as well. They purchase about 5 million garments a year though!!!!!

Would I be able to hang a few of them on a page? I presume the £1.50 would be per A4 sheet so I could possibly get 3 logos on each?

Thanks for all the advice too, it's greatly appreciated.

I think that is for direct printing, forgive me if I've misunderstood?

Company I use for transfers would be £3.27 per A4 sheet (1 colour) or £2.15 per sheet for 50. You can gang up designs, say you got 2 on an A3 sheet, £4.51 per sheet would give you 40 transfers.

All inc. of films/stencils etc.

I presume the £1.50 would be per A4 sheet

If that is too me then that price was for screen printing which I do not do. Its only what I would expect to pay.

Happy to give you a price for transfers if you want, just message me and we can go from there.

Thanks all for your help and advice. I've given the customer a few options now I'm just waiting to hear back from him.

I've also got another enquiry but for printing onto Capes. I don't think anyone on here would sell these so I'm going to have to get them in myself. The customer wants a logo on the cape, it's a circular design approx 20cm in diameter so it would take up an A4 sheet. It is in 3 colours so I think plastisol screen print transfers would be the ideal choice as the capes are in black. Anyone have any other suggestion instead of plastisol? I think it's going to be expensive too. The customer initially wants 100 printed with the possibility of more in the future.

For 100 items you should be able to get a screen printer to give you a cost to print onto your capes, that's what I would consider, a4 plastisol 3 colour sheets to press yoirself I think may cost you more, jester prints would be somewhere to go for for a price but you've then still to apply them yourself. not sure where you would source the capes from though.
