  I think it is time this moved to a new thread…….
  
  ausmicro.com Tee Shirts……..
  
  Is sorta happening……
  
  So far I have a 3/4 sleeve baseball style shirt happening, this means it has a white body, but the sleeves are a different colour.
  There will be a colour choice between Navy Blue Sleeves and Red Sleeves.
  The ausmicro logo (minus car) will be on the back, real big… and maybe something else…….
  
  See the problems are these:
  
  Set up costs. No matter which company I talk to, they all have set up costs and it depends on how many colours you use. So far the basic logo has four colours @ $55-$65 per colour for basic screen printing. Then there is a different kind of printing that will let us use the shading qualities ie/ little car.
  
  I want the shirts to have more than just basic logo on them… and I am trying to keep the price below $30 per shirt.
  This is proving to be the hardest part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  I can get whatever I want on the shirts but it will put the price right up……..
  I figure $30 + p/h isn’t a bad price, and if ppl want to chip in an extra buck or two for A&D to get some freebies……..
  KUDOS!
  
  I should have some design pics soon.
  
  Watch this space……..

  I have to say Kitty is busting a feline gut sorting this out for us.
  
  To that end we’re almost through settling the err ‘artistic’ differences in the design concepts.
  
  We’re making sure that we have the highest quality source artwork to give the printers, a nice unique design that’s clear and works to keep a lid on costs. By putting the time and effort in here we’re making sure we don’t have to pay design fees.
  
  We have picked the 3/4 sleeve tops because coming into winter they’ll be a little warmer, the coloured sleeves give them more presence and they’re a bit different to the ‘norm’ club shirts that most people do.
  
  As Kitty has said we’re working to lid the costs at AUD$30+post. At this stage we’re not going to be able to supply them outside of Australia for that price unless you’re prepared to cover exchange costs (through Paypal) and obviously increased postage. There will be merchandise available internationally for members outside of Australia shortly – keep watching for more details.

  In the end the $$ will be collected by either me or Kitty. You’ll be able to send cash, cheque, money orders, pay paypal if you’re willing to cover the transaction costs and ofcourse Direct Deposit.
  
  Once you pay for a shirt (and nominated your size) you will definately get one!
  
  The first run is 25 shirts, which due to cash situations will be limited to cash in advance as Derek, myself or Kitty can front the several hundred dollars required to get this off the ground.
  
  We’d be making about 50c per shirt if we’re lucky …. Even Derek and I are paying for our own! (paying for 4 colour artwork, setup fees, delivery fees, the better quality shirts etc does mean they do have a fairly high cost!)
  
  Hopefully we’ll have some pics early next week once I sorta finish the artwork. Ofcourse this is a rubber timing and may end up being late next week :smiley16:
