When owning a clothing brand, many moving parts are involved in perfecting your product and making it desirable for your clientele. Once you have your design, choosing the garments themselves is arguably the most important thing to consider.
Plus, there are many additional customization options for you to choose from when it comes to personalizing and mastering your clothing brand's "vibe."
Seemingly little details can make a BIG difference for you and your brand. These details can include add-on services such as custom hem tags, hang tags, embroidered patches, printed neck tags, bagging, and other unique personalization options.
Real Thread
In case you don't know us, HELLO!
We're Real Thread, an Orlando-based custom t-shirt and apparel company. We sustainably screen print the coolest apparel you ever saw (tees, tanks, totes, hoodies, pants, hats, etc.) and love partnering with clothing brand designers like you to bring your visions to life.
SO… Let us be the first to tell you that Real Thread is here to be your one-stop shop for all things custom apparel.
Real Thread also offers embroidery, fulfillment, and a wide range of add-on services that set us apart from your average print shop. We even have glow-in-the-dark ink that'll make you say "OOOH" and "AHH" and things of that nature.
OH. AND DOG BANDANAS. YEAH. WHO WOULDN'T WANT THAT?!
We also offer over-the-zipper printing, simulated process printing, and tonal printing. With minimums of just 20 garments per order, we're here to help you quickly raise your clothing brand's t-shirt game. Also, we offer fulfillment services! Do you want to learn more? We've got you, fam.
Real Thread screen prints with water-based inks. These inks are superior to the industry standard ink (plastisol ink).
Instead of coating the shirt with a thick layer of plastic, water-based inks dye the garment directly with your print. The ink soaks into the garment's fibers, dying your design INTO the shirt instead of onto it. This results in a super soft and long-lasting impression (literally AND figuratively).
So that's something about us, but there's more in store- ready to rock?
