Why Cheap T-Shirt Printing Can Be a Trap

5 Aug, 2022 By Samantha Warren 1811 Views

Are you searching for custom t-shirts that don’t burn a hole in your pocket? Well, you’ve come to the right place, as usual. Although we know you’re always searching for cheap t-shirt printing options, we’re here to teach you why spending just a bit more will be better in the long run. Trust us–we have the expertise to steer you in the right direction.

Why cheap t-shirts are well, you guessed it, cheap.

We know a low price tag can be extremely eye-catching, but will the quality of the shirt match your expectations? Sure, a cheap t-shirt might be enticing, but what happens after you wash it once? It turns into a baby tee and some of us did not sign up for this look.

So, why is cheap t-shirt printing just not it? First and foremost, cheap t-shirts are often made from lower-quality materials because–you guessed it–they’re cheaper to get. That means your t-shirt is more likely to fade or shrink after a few washes. Unfortunately, your cheaply made band t-shirt will be a dim-colored shirt after two washes. 

Additionally, cheap t-shirts tend to be less comfortable than their higher-priced counterparts. They could feel stiff or scratchy and never just right. Why would you spend money on an uncomfortable piece of fabric when you can spend a bit more and have an article of clothing worth wearing? Not to mention, an uncomfortable, faded, and shrunken shirt will most likely get donated or thrown out. Next thing you know, you’ll see your old shirt on #Thrifted TikTok.

Another downside to cheap t-shirts is they typically don’t fit as well as more expensive t-shirts. Cheap t-shirts are often mass-produced and don’t take into account different body shapes and sizes. As a result, you might end up with a t-shirt that is too big or too small, or that just doesn’t look quite right. Why pay a cheaper price tag just to look bad and feel confined? 

One more reason why cheap t-shirts just aren’t a vibe–cheap t-shirts might not be as stylish as more expensive t-shirts. They tend to be made from less fashionable materials and cuts. Maybe this doesn’t matter to you, but some people (including us), like to walk around looking “So Fresh, So Clean.” (Alexa, play Outkast)

So, you’re better off spending more money on a t-shirt that will help you make a good impression. As we said, better materials mean they’ll last longer, so you can keep these stylish items of clothing in your closet for as long as you want.
