KEEPING IT LOCAL – Use a Celina custom shirts shop – part three

Continued from part two

GREEN

Working with a Celina custom shirts store is more sustainable. The printing is done locally. T shirt printing design selection can be more specific. You can choose to work with a printing shop which uses environmental friendly processes, like recycling, minimizing water waste and disposing of ink properly.

ECONOMICS

Small businesses are the back bone of our economy. As a small business owner, I encourage the clientele to support local businesses as well as use Celina custom shirts print shops. When you support localized business, you are helping your local economy succeed, creating a better community and can even create more jobs.

COST

Most business decisions come down to one simple factor – money. Fortunately, Celina custom shirts stores are competitive with their pricing. Quotes I get from a local printer will beat a web-based printer price. Many online printers advertise low prices.  Once you factor shipping, setup charges, and other fees, the project becomes much more expensive. If you tell a printer a price quote received elsewhere, sometimes they will bring down the cost to meet your budget needs.

Celina custom shirtsSAMPLES

Online and offshore printers cannot deliver samples as easily as Celina custom shirts printers. Shipping charges for sample shirts can be expensive and timely. It can cost additional T shirt printing design charges. Fabric overseas is different. Color matching is essential.

AWARENESS

You should know the kind of working conditions where your shirts are made and also if you cannot see the print facilities, there is no way you can know if they are implementing proper safety. Is it really worth compromising someone else’s well being? A Celina custom shirts store is a place you can visit.

KEEPING IT LOCAL – Use a Celina custom shirts shop – part one

Celina custom shirts

I’m a graphic artist that primarily focuses on Celina custom shirts printing projects. I usually quote my clients beforehand. Recently, I have noticed one question has been coming up. Why not use an online printer or outsource the printing? While these screen printers are adequate, I do not recommend them to my clients.

Do I use them? Sometimes to keep my clients happy, and deliver what they want. There is good reason to not go online when it comes to printing. Here is why I use Celina custom shirts print shops, as well as why you should too.

SERVICE

When you print online or outsource overseas, it is difficult to speak to a representative. It is also hard (and also costly) to get samples. For some projects this may not be all that essential, for a large printing job this is vital.

Texas prideSAFETY

Using your credit card information online is risky. There have been multiple online and offshore businesses that collect and vanish. If this happens there is nothing you can do.

Most local print shops divide payment. This establishes a higher level of trust. The Celina custom shirts printer does not get paid until the project is right. If you receive the project and it’s wrong, request a rerun at no cost (given that the actual printer was at fault). The Celina custom shirts printer does not get paid in full if the job is incomplete.

ACCURACY

Shirts can print color differently with different inks. When using an online printer, you don’t get options. The result can be mediocre. You need the appropriate printing method for every project. This also limits your T shirt printing design options.
