Has anyone dealt with a business which can place a logo I have on either a hat or t-shirt? Were you happy with the service and price? Any recommendations would be great. Thanks! ---

[Cafe Press](http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/index.aspx) is your friend. You can do 1 to 1000. I wish they were around back when I drove race cars, it would have save me a lot of money. ---

Well, I visited their site, but all I see are links to selling merchandise on one’s own site. Is there no way to bypass this process and simply order 5 copies of somthing? Seems rather confusing. ---

Create an account with CafePress, then create a “custom store” with the stuff you want. You can then “buy from yourself” and order whatever you want. ---

We use CafePress for our charity and we set up a shop for Sassy’s Mom’s birthday t-shirts and coffee mugs. It’s a snap to set up. All you need artwork in .png format, in the correct size for the product(s) you want. Many products to select from, more if you set up a “Premium Store” that costs $5/mo with no minimun time requirement. They charge a minimum amount, you add what you want as profit on top. If it’s for yourself, you can buy at the base price. For a few items they are the best deal, best prices. They handle everything and if you or your customers aren’t satisfied, they’ll refund the duckets in full. The quality is pretty good on the hat and the golf shirt I bought. The coffee mug is terrific. My customers, and those buying stuff for Sassy’s Mom’s b-day report they were happy with price and quality. I’ve had no returns to date. Go here and just follow the directions. [http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/sell/index.aspx](http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/sell/index.aspx) If that’s too much trouble. Send me your artwork, I’ll put it on the items you want and we’ll handle it all via our store, but it’s very easy to do yourself. \< :eek: DANGER: Shameless plug! 😉 \> This is what our store looks like: [http://www.1clever.org/gift.htm](http://www.1clever.org/gift.htm) ---

This has nothing to do with the OP, sorry. I just wanted to say to **Myself** that I really like the design on the shirts you’re selling. (Although, I’ve never heard of the organisation and didn’t understand at all what it was for beyond some complicated sounding skin disease. Maybe.) Anyway, perhaps I’ll buy one if/when I get some money… Ok, carry on… ---

Café Press doesn’t have **black** T-Shirts? What the damn? Well, that websites out. Anyone have any other suggestions for custom t-shirts (that have black shirts available). ---

> [@Duderdude2](#): > > Café Press doesn’t have **black** T-Shirts? What the damn? CafePress has black T-shirts, but requires you to pre-order them in sets of 25, IIRC. That’s because doing white/bright images on black fabric is a different process than simply transferring an image to white fabric, and requires an extra commitment up front.
