Online Shopping Stores is an apparel retailer that specializes in various types of clothing such as children's apparel, sporting apparel, work clothing, custom designed t shirt printing, etc. So how should you get started in finding the product that you're searching for? Online Shopping Stores offers a variety of customizable options such as embroidery, and an array of various printing options for you to search through. Below are details as to what each consists of.



Screen printing is one such option available, and probably the cheapest method available. Screen printing is a permanent inking process that basically inscribes the design into the t-shirt, thus ensuring that ink remains in place. Screen printing is probably one of the most widely used methods of t shirt printing used today due to its relatively cost-effective pricing and permanent design.

Transfers are also popular, though used less frequently than screen printing due the fact that they're less resistant to washing and fading. Transfer paper is a thin sheet of paper which the object is directly printed onto. The paper is placed face down on the garment, and the object is transferred via large amounts of heat. A press is one way of doing this, and involves a large device that creates extreme amounts of heat and pressure to relay the image onto the garment. Of course this can also be done by simply using a household iron as well, though it will likely take a bit longer.

Designs can also be applied directly to the garment via a direct-to-garment printing. This process is probably the most permanent in regards to its strength and hold up, as the colors essentially become part of the clothing. Direct-to-garment printing can only be made on lightly colored garments; however, as the apparel color is affected by the color of the ink, and will mix.

Embroidery is probably one of the most popular methods of personalization. The look is very distinctive, and also gives somewhat of a 3 dimensional look to the apparel as well. Embroidery is done in most cases by a simple sewing machine, and is typically computerized. This gives it the ability to provide superior detail, and with a variety of different colors. Embroidery is commonly used for things such as logos, names and phrases, etc.

Just about every type of apparel that Motif offers can be personalized in some for or another. Common types include sportswear, children's wear, and even your best dress shirt. Motif educates you as to what products can be personalized, by adding a button to your final product selection, allowing you to add a personalization. Here you'll be given the opportunity to select through the various printing and embroidering options available, and choose the one that best suits your needs.

The price of embroidery can range depending on what type you're looking for, the size, and of course how many pieces you wish to purchase. The home pages of all online clothing stores contain a link to an embroidery calculation which will allow you to determine the specific price for your garment(s). Discounts, or price breaks, are given at various levels of purchase, such as 6, 100, 250, and other amounts. To obtain a price, try visiting the embroidery calculation and determining your appropriate information, and the level of your order.
