T-shirt Supplier/printer In Bkk

[jawa4life]

Hi guys,

first post here. looked around and this looks like the right sub-forum.

i'm looking for good quality t-shirt psupplier/rinters to print my own design. has good stock of quality t-shirt, competitive pricing and dependable. other alternatives will be considered (whatever is available). i don't need fancy t-shirt, just plain old round neck T in different colors and sizes in the quality of Hanes, Anvil, American Apparel.

i've been scanning the net and found mostly big factories while the smaller factories/merchants only have info in Thai. Also got a lead for Bobae Towers but feedback on this place would be appreciated.

Did a few phone calls but didn't get much info from the conversation. Everyone ask me to come down and have a look. I should be ready to place order by the time i arrive in BKK. Will be down in BKK early August (date not confirmed) for face to face meeting.

got some feedback from factories that my orders (500pcs per design) are too small for a factory to take. Is this true? i'll be making regular orders from time to time. indication of prices would also be great.

Appreciate feedbacks and tips from those with experience dealing in this sector.

Cheers everyone.

Seriously, go to China or Vietnam.It´s even cheaper,offers you any quality you want and they produce from small to very large quantities .

Just ask them to make some samples to start with, all quality manufacturers will make samples.

In MBK first floor there is a stall offering printing of stickers, posters, business cards etc. Actually there are two stalls dealing in the same biz in the meantime side by side but headed by the same owners.

Anyway, have been dealing with them for quite a few years now in terms of getting out business cards printed, display signs for exhibitions etc.

In 2002 we were involved in a film project which required memorial t-shirts (100 units) for the entire team after the project. As usual the production director didn't come to this idea timely but rather all was needed quick, quick all of a sudden. Went to that store and ordered t-shirts, black color, mainly European XL size, with white color print. In front Bangkok - Hamburg and on the back big drawn logo showing a fish with a camera in a little boat. T-shirts were of first class quality and we got the job down within 2 days. Price as far as I recall was something like 120 baht but please remember the quality of the t-shirt (weight of textile) contributes the major part of the cost and we ordered a mere 100 shirts only.

Result was so good that even all the waiters asked us for a shirt during the following party.

Anyway, if the needed volume is not to big and you want reliability and quality at a reasonable price maybe you want to give those guys at MBK a shot.

As far as always cheap cheap requirements are concerned please remember one rule: You always get what you pay for and there ain't a Benz for the price of a Toyota not even in China.

Lots of luck,

Richard

I think I know the print shops you mean. If they're the same ones, I used them for a one-off print once - they pointed me across the aisle to a t-shirt shop to buy the blank one myself. 150 baht for ONE, and it's great quality (I've since bought a few different colours cos I like plain t-shirts.)

120 baht doesn't seem like a great discount on 150, so perhaps the print ship was adding their own markup. Anyway OP - the brand name was "No Problem", you might try to chase that or at least go to the shop opposite the printers...

Yes I use to do a lot of buying there>>> Cheap prices and cheap quality a lot of rubbish mix in. Hope that helps.

Well there you go, two hours later I walk past "No Problem"'s retail stall in Jatujak... so I got you a card. Tel: 02 3048198, fax: 02 2809620. Don't you get great service from Thaivisa?

I have two excellent quality T shirts. Manufactures label OB, and the other MANGA. Both are of excellent quality, and 100% cotton. They are both sold in Bangkok at stauls in Pratunam. People from Pattaya buy them for about 60 Baht and sell for 140-150 baht at the soi Bakow market.

[jawa4life]

you betcha. thanks for the lead buddy.
