Where To Buy Coats, Shirts, Stickers Advertising


I have been ordering my own shirts and stickers and stuff, but where have you guys been getting your advertising. Is there a good dealer online for truck stickers and such.

Any help appreciated.

Re: Where To Buy Coats, Shirts, Stickers Advertising


Being small business minded I really try to keep all my stuff local, we have quite a few print shops that screen print and prices do vary quite a bit so it's worth shopping around finding the best material and cheapest rate for printing on shirts and such. I can actually buy printed work T-shirts, hooded sweat shirts, sweat shirts, and polo's cheaper through my print shop all done up with company stuff than I can getting a plain jane shirt of any kind at wal-mart

Same with signage, I'm very fortunate to have a veru good freind in the business that designs, lay's out and installs store front, vehicle, yard, etc...signage and I get to see how much mark up there is in that feild...lord knows I would'nt hve as much bling if I had to pay retail. But from that aspect, there are probably a lot of smaller signage guys in your area that are worth calling and talking to. Just keep it local....would be like homies going online and overlooking you to get work done..that just suckz!! Use internet as the last resort when your budget cannot be met locally.

I am with IHI and stay local for all this stuff.
I have a great shirt print/emboydery shop in town and there are several places to choose for vehicle lettering in my area.
I wouldn't think of mail order/internet for such things.

For stickers there is NEBS, and others like them.

I'll agree as well with staying local and dealing with the small business owner, but I'll confess, I have used NEBS and their customer service is outstanding. I had em print up some jackets and shirts for me with a logo and all, screen printed, well the xl that they sell is huge and didn't fit. I called and was expecting to pay again for my mistake, surprise, they sent me all new shirts and jackets in a smaller size. NO CHARGE. They even let me keep the bigger jackets, they did want the shirts back though. I figured it was my mistake and wasn't expecting a thing for free. I was impressed with their professionalism overall.

What ATS said, - - I've been using NEBS for years and I feel their service is practically untouchable. Contracts, shirts, jackets, cards, magnets, door hangers, you name it.
