Heat Transfer Printing
With the heat transfer process, ink is transfered on a carrier paper to the t-shirt. When heat and pressure is applied to the carrier paper, the ink is transfered onto the t-shirt. A common way that this is done is by applying an iron to the carrier paper for a period of time until the ink appears on the shirt.

The t-shirt business can become a very stressful business to run, especially on your own. As with any business, it\'s recommended that you develop a team. Sure you might start on your own but eventually you should build a dream team that\'ll help advance your label to the next level. One of the key members of this dream team is an excellent designer. You might be the only designer of your t-shirt label now, or maybe you haven\'t even started your label yet but have great ideas for t-shirts but don\'t think you have the artistic talent to put them into production.

We suggest that any label hire new designers soon as the budget permits. An additional designer means the manager of the label has more time for managing and business operations.

Know exactly what you want in a t-shirt designer. It\'ll make the search easier once you envision what this designer\'s work would look like. You\'ll also have to have your vision down pact when explaining to designers what kind of design style you\'re looking for.

Come up with a few specific t-shirt designs that you would like an artist to produce. As a t-shirt entrepreneur I\'m sure you\'ve seen a few t-shirts on the market that made you think \"Hey, it would be cool if the guy who made this shirt made one that said ____ or had ____ on it!\" Now your job would be to find that guy and get him to design that shirt for you. Or just come up with ideas and the design style you want them in and look for a designer who can pull it off.

Post a request for a t-shirt designer on freelance websites such as These sites are like classified job listings and are full of designers who are looking for people like you with design needs. Post your request and wait for artists to answer or search the web site\'s database and find a good freelance designer that you think would fit your label.

Check out sites like  These are t-shirt designer communities that hold ongoing weekly design contests and are comprised of great designers.

Be picky when picking a designer. Don\'t just settle. Find a designer who\'s work you love and who you confidently feel can improve the quality of your label. Make sure they\'re doing some frickin\' cool designs that you only wish you could do yourself. After all, you\'re trusting this person to design t-shirts that you\'ll be selling.

So you\'re jumping into the t-shirt business and you\'ve gotten past the production stage. Got a few t-shirts designed and printed and now comes the hard part. Selling them. Like most t-shirt brands, you\'re definitely gonna have to open on online shop. Building a great online shop is not an easy task.
