Custom Printed T Shirts With Winter Holiday Designs

Executive Sumarry by Marie Claire Ponsaran

Since the holidays mean preparing gifts for friends and loved ones, one of the best ideas for holiday gifts are personalised t-shirts.

Snow Angels, Snow Men and Snow Crystals Custom Printed On T-Shirts
Snow angels, throwing snowballs at each other, and the anticipation of the holiday celebrations are what many people look forward to this season.

T-shirts for men, women and children often feature winter designs, like the adorable Snow Man, some falling snow crystals and snowflakes, or the snow covered fir trees. People are drawn wearing winter clothing and engaging in winter activities, such as skiing and ice skating.

These Rockefeller-type images are popular prints, not only on custom printed t-shirts, but also on greeting cards and posters. Designs on event posters and greeting cards can also be screen printed just like on t-shirts.

Christian and Non-Christian Holidays Custom Printed T-Shirts
These t-shirts often have custom printed messages for specific holidays. Christmas t-shirts greet everyone a "Merry Christmas." Hanukkah t-shirts are printed with "Happy Hanukkah" images and greetings. The same goes with other winter holidays.

Printed t-shirts for the Christmas Season often feature images of scenes and symbols associated with the birth of Christ. The manger scene or the Nativity scene is the most popular scene printed on t-shirts for Christmas parties.

The most popular Christmas symbols, on one hand, are Christmas trees, Christmas wreaths, and Christmas stockings. The custom printed t-shirts are dyed and printed with Christmas colors like red, green and white.

The design colors are paired with gold and silver glitter and trimmings.

Cultural and Historical Holidays Custom Printed On T-Shirts
Custom printed t-shirts for the winter holidays can also have historical or cultural themed designs. Cultural and historical holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving are also favorite t-shirt prints.

Images that symbolize Halloween, such as carved pumpkins and bats, are among the popular designs. They are cartoon-like and use darker coverage for printed kids' t-shirts. They look hand painted or hand drawn for men's printed t-shirts. Printed t-shirts for ladies have female personas associated with Halloween, like a witch or a vampires.

Some custom printed t-shirts use plastisol ink that makes the design look embossed on the surface of the fabric.

Thanksgiving t-shirt designs, on one hand, are cultural and historical in essence. The colors most associated with Kwanzaa are black, red and green.

There are many more winter holidays that are celebrated from other parts of the world. Each of these celebrations can be commemorated with a nicely custom printed t-shirt personalized with places and dates of the holiday celebrations.

 

Tee Shirt Printing - Whether to Make Your Own Custom Printed T-Shirts Or Have Them Printed For You 

Executive Summary by Brian RE Hawthorn 

This article will explain the options between doing it yourself and having a tee shirt printer make your custom printed t-shirts.

A main consideration is what color of t-shirts will you be using for your tee shirt printing? There are no major issues when you print on white tee shirts.

However, when you are doing custom printed t-shirts using light color shirts remember that there is no white ink in your printer so if you had a picture with three people who are dressed in white t-shirts and there were white clouds in the sky then every white area in the image would be the same color as the tee shirt. If you have light blue t-shirts then the t-shirts on the people in your photo and the clouds would be light blue.

Another factor to consider when printing on light color t-shirts is the ink from your printer will somewhat blend with the color of the t-shirt. A while back I printed light blue ink on bright yellow t-shirts. This only occur with light ink colours on bright light coloured t-shirts. The t-shirt transfer paper you would buy would be for white or light color tee shirt printing. If you want to print on black or any dark t-shirt you would want to have t-shirt transfer paper that is specifically for printing on dark colors.

Often with tee shirt transfers there is a a yellowish hue around the printing. This is caused by the coating on the transfer paper that bonds the ink to the shirt.

A good tee shirt printer will trim away this excess but even more importantly will have a printer/t-shirt transfer combination that when the tee shirt is printed the unprinted parts are essentially transparent and don't have this problem.

A heat press is a machine designed specifically for custom tee shirt printing. The heat press that I and several other commercial tee shirt printers use permits the temperature, time and pressure to be set. This gives a perfect press time after time.

It is to be noted that the transfer paper used by professional tee shirt makers need to be applied with a commercial heat press. The supplies that you'll need to make your custom printed t-shirts in addition to a computer and a printer, obviously will be t-shirts. You'll likely want to use 100% cotton t-shirts that are preshrunk or 50/50 tee shirts.

You'll also need t-shirt transfer paper. If you are using an inkjet printer make sure you get paper suited for an inkjet printer and likewise if you have a laser printer.

To sums things up, designing and printing your own tee shirts is not only fun but it gives you the added ability to make personalized t-shirts.

If you decide to have a t-shirt company make your custom printed t-shirts, be sure to let them know all of the details they'll need to know to give you a quote. They will need to know what you want printed, where you want the printing, the color of the shirts, how many shirts you'd like, the postal code where you live and when you would need the shirts. Tee shirt companies can purchase the supplies they need wholesale and in bulk so it is likely that your tee shirts can be printed for less or about the same as you could produce them yourself.
