Hey duders! I found out a while back that I actually know a guy that does T-shirt screen printing and so I thought it'd be fun to put together a shirt for PAX East 2014. I contacted Rorie and cleared the idea with him and everything is a green light so this is going to happen. Here's the design I came up with.


I tried a few different variant sizes and extras and the overwhelming consensus is that just the straight logo on the front is the best way to go.
The main thing I want to stress is that this is not for profit and I'm doing this separate from the website. That being the case, I'm going to be super transparent with the pricing I'm getting to get these made. I'd like to get a rough idea of how many I should print and take to PAX East.
THIS SHIRT WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE FOR PHYSICAL PICK-UP FROM ME AT PAX EAST 2014.
I will only be doing a one time run of the shirt for anyone that's interested.
Here's the breakdown of the pricing.
One time costs:
Individual color screens $25 each. Four colors (Green, Dark Green, White, Red) = $100
Currently unknown amount for custom color ink. Turns out that those greens aren't common and the guy is going to have to make them custom for use on the creation of these shirts. I haven't received final pricing on the ink yet as I'm not sure how many I'm going to get printed.
Shipping to Boston from Southern California $20~$30. I'm guessing it'll prolly cost about that much to ship a large box full of shirts to where the convention is taking place from where the shirts are going to be produced.
Per shirt costs:
$5 for screening (applying the inks to the shirt).
$4~$5 per blank black shirt. These I'm going to have to check out for myself. I think the material of the shirt he said he has is decent but if I can find a source of better, softer fabric I'll prolly shell out the extra buck or two for em instead.
PRICING FOR US
So say I print out a run of 30, that'd total costing roughly $15 a shirt. That's still cheaper than most screened T's you'd find. I'll prolly also end up printing out a few for whichever GB staff wants one for themselves. That cost I'll eat myself =]
If you're going to PAX East this year and you're interested in a shirt, go ahead and post down below and include your shirt size so that I know how many of what size I should print out. I'll collect in cash at the show. I'll set up a specific time and place to meet at which point I'll hand over the goods. If the spoken for goods aren't picked up at that time, I'll just carry around the extras and sell to anyone that's interested.
I'd be happy to hit 30 as that'd allow me to break even at the cost of $15 a pop. If I don't, I'll still only charge the $15. If by some freak chance more than 30 people want to grab one, I'll maybe go as high as printing 40 but no more than that since it'll prolly be way too heavy to carry around.
I'll post pics of the printing process once I meet up with the guy when I visit LA. <>
