Andy,
I have a screen-printing company and we would like to put our own label at the back of the collar. We don’t necessarily want to remove the “Hanes” label, although that is an option. We would just like to have our own label in the shirt.
We don’t have time to purchase our shirts from a wholesaler and then send them off to be labeled before printing. We would like to just do it ourselves in our own facility but we don’t know where to start. I can figure out where to buy labels, but how do you put them in? Is there a type of machine that can do this quickly, and maybe even more than one at a time (kind of like a 6-head or 12-head embroidery machine)? Also, can it do tee shirts, sweatshirts, etc.? We probably print and ship approx. 3,000 shirts per week.
If you could please start me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mike
Dear Mike: Start with the label companies themselves. There are probably some heat processes whereby you iron on the label. Ask a lot of questions of several different label manufacturers. They have the answers you need. We wish you continued success and Good Luck, Andy
