Customer Reviews

The shirts are AWESOME! They are just perfect: no surprises. I was having a panic attack opening the box (as I always do with these things) but everything was perfect! All of your double checking and proofing really paid off. The shirts are also great quality! Thanks again and we look forward to working with you in the future

Hi Chris, I wanted to let you know how great the shirts turned out and how great they looked on everyone. The birthday boy was surprised so all was good. Thanks again for your great product and service, really appreciate all that.
Sincerely,

We needed 200 tote bags screened on both sides. CONTEMPL8 came through on time for our event. We will definitely use this service again and spread the word of their excellent work and customer service.

Working with CONTEMPL8 printing has been flawless!!!!!! Since my first contact with CONTEMPL8 t-shirts, Chris has been very professional, listened to what I wanted in a design and provided excellent customer oriented feedback. The shirts turned about much better than I had hoped for and it is so nice to find a printing company that is concerned with the environment and ethics. I will use CONTEMPL8 again and I have already recommended CONTEMPL8 to others.

I would like to let you know that our shirts arrived safely. They look fantastic! Thank you so much for making the beautifully printed our very first original T-shirts. We are thinking to order, with the same design, our next batch hopefully soon.

We need to order more shirts. We've gotten lots of compliments on how well the shirts we ordered last year have held up- The ink hasn't cracked or faded at all! Thanks for all the quality work :)

We at D5 Threads are new to the clothing game and Contempl8 helped get our
feet off the ground. Christopher was super responsive and gave us all the feedback we needed to have our ideas become reality. Our shirts were
printed very quickly and the finished product was heads above the standard printed shirt. We also were drawn to Contempl8's ethic of only using water based inks. We look forward to doing business again and would recommend Contempl8 to anyone looking for a good screen printer! Thanks!

		Note on Blank Shirts: It costs money to buy blank shirts to print on. This cost will vary depending on the quality, brand and other attributes of the shirts you select. We will print whatever shirts you want printed. Sweatshop free t-shirts are available at your request. Sweatshop free t-shirts are Made in the USA or elsewhere by unionized workers (union-made t-shirts) or by workers that at least get a good living wage and benefits. It is our preference to print on sweatshop free t-shirts, but the choice is yours to make. We understand that it is not always possible to use sweatshop free t-shirts since there are fewer available fabric weight and color options within sweatshop free t-shirt lines. Although, often you can find exactly what you need in a sweatshop free t-shirt. All of our screen printing is eco-friendly screen printing since we use water-based inks and eco-friendly methods . But, we have options that make your t-shirts even more eco-friendly. We also do eco-friendly screen printing on organic cotton shirts and other eco-friendly types of shirts: Organic Cotton shirts Organic means that the shirts are made from organic cotton that is grown from seeds of the natural cotton plant not genetically modified cotton that is dangerous and unpredictable to us and the environment. Organic cotton is also grown using no pesticides or herbicides and other harsh chemicals that are used on conventional cotton plants. These shirts are more expensive than conventionally produced t-shirts, but they are great quality, very soft, and eco-friendly. Organic shirts while previously only available in the unbleached natural color are now available in many colors including black, white and various others. Organic shirts are never bleached with chlorine bleach and are therefore more environmentally friendly. Chlorine bleach is one of the worst environmental pollutants. Natural Un-Bleached Cotton shirts (shirts that are not organic but are also not bleached and have the natural cotton color of off-white) are also a good alternative if you can't afford the extra cost of organic shirts but want to have shirts that are eco friendly. Again, chlorine bleaching is one of the worst environmental pollutants, so non-bleached conventional cotton is definitely on the eco-friendly continuum of options. Bamboo shirts are very eco-friendly because the bamboo used is very fast growing and does not require pesticides like conventional cotton does. A bamboo plant can grow to mature height in 60 to 90 days. Bamboo shirts are also naturally wicking and anti-microbial in addition to being eco-friendly. Hemp shirts are also very eco-friendly for reasons similar to bamboo. Again it is very fast growing and does not require pesticides like conventional cotton does. Hemp shirts are also naturally wicking and anti-microbial in addition to being eco-friendly. Additionally, hemp shirt fabric is more durable and provides better UV protection than most other shirt fabric. Organic cotton t-shirts, natural un-bleached cotton t-shirts, bamboo t-shirtsand hemp t-shirts are all great alternatives to conventional t-shirts and can be printed with our water-based eco-friendly inks which will print in vivid, long lasting colors.
