I was able to start my business with $1,000.00. The most expensive item I purchased was the heat press. It was $700.00. After you have searched around to find a good heat press that will fit your budget, you will need to find a company where you can purchase your t-shirts at a wholesale price. I was very fortunate to find a t-shirt company in a near by city that sold their shirts wholesale. This worked out perfect for me, because I was able to place my order over the phone and pick up my t-shirts the next day. This really cut down on the two to three days waiting period and not to mention the shipping charges.

It is quite obvious that if you are planning to get your t-shirts printed you will have a design in mind. In many cases you might just not get the time to decide on the design. The printing company can help you in this regard. Most of the companies have some design templates ready with them. In case you do not have a design ready, you can choose from the various templates and then finalize the one that seems best to you. Many people bring their designs with them. In such instances, the same design is printed on the garments. If required minor changes are made in the design so that it looks all the more attractive after it is printed on the t-shirt. Most of the companies also offer the facility of customizing the prints.
