custom manufacturing        

Hello potential customers. This section outlines what services we have for custom design and production.

Overview
Fob Clothing is not your typical clothing manufacturer. We hand stroke all of our shirts, giving each its own style, positioning, and ink coverage. We do offer the service of producing custom T-shirts for your band, club, organization, etc but have a few guidelines and general notices that need to be cleared up. With that said, we hope you still consider us as a viable solution for your low to medium volume garment needs.


Requirements
1. The design must be produced by us. This prevents us from turning into a regular custom shirt manufacturer and more importantly allows us to flex our creativity and share it with others. We can (and prefer to) accept inspiration for what someone wants on their shirts. For example, one could say "I want it to say ___________ on the front, and have a globe, some roots, and possibly a bird."
2. There is a minimum of 12 shirts. Yes, we hate minimums as much as you do but it becomes horribly not worth our while and more of a chore near and below the 15 mark.
3. 50% payment is required up front after a suitable design is created (but not necessarily finalized). This covers some basic setup costs such as shrits, emulsion, and other consumables.


The Process
PLANNING: You submit us your ideas, how many shirts you want in what ink color, what shirt color, manufacturer, and how many of each size. We can from there tell you whether or not it's possible for the order to go through. After we create a preliminary basic design, you approve/disaprove and we make changes until we're settled on something.
HALF INSTALLMENT: A check is written and given to us or paypal payment processed. We order the shirts from an applicable distributor. Final changes are made to the design with feedback from you.
PRINTING: Shirts have been shipped and we print as soon as possible while giving you updates on what is going on with the production (if it is a particularly large order). The printing is finished.
FINAL PAYMENT: A final check is given to us or paypal payment processed. If the shirts can be exchanged in person, this transaction can be made in person. Otherwise, payment is required before shirts are shipped.


FAQ
can you print on ___________ type of shirt or from __________ manufacturer?
of course. we just need to make sure our distributor sells it. We can get hanes, fruit of the loom, port and comp (preferred), and american apparel. However, for premium cuts and fabrics like those of american apparel, there is always a pretty heavy price increase because of the cost of blank shirts from them.

do you guys print on anything else besides shirts?
yes, if it is not something our distributors sell, then you must point us towards the place to buy them. afterwards, we'll figure out whether or not the blank garments/bags/etc. are inexpensive enough to buy in bulk.

your prices seem/are are pretty freaking high, what gives?
what seperates us from a normal manufacturer is you pay for our creative and artistic minds. if you have a finished design on a computer, by all means GO TO ANOTHER COMPANY. I guarantee you the prices will be cheaper and you will get the same, if not a better product. just be prepared to get a minimum XX number of garments. we take pride in our work and believe the few dollar markup is definitely worth it.

what colors do you have?
we can make basically any color ink and print on any color shirt that is offered by __________________ manufacturer. If you ask, we'll usually have it.


Pricing
note: screens and colors are the same thing. they denote the number of times that you'd stroke a shirt with a color. for example, if one wants 2 colors on the front, that's 2 screens. if one wants 1 color with a design on the front and a web address on the back of the shirt, that's 2 screens.

1 screen | $11/shirt (over 30 shirts, $10/shirt)
2 screens | $12.50/shirt (over 30 shirts, $11.50/shirt)
3 screens | $14/shirt (over 30 shirts, $13/shirt)

+ any shipping costs

*unlike other companies, we do not have any setup charges. This simplifies pricing and doesn't hide any costs.
