  • Any way you want it, that’s the way we ship it!

    So how does Ann Arbor Tees make sure that shirts get where they need to be, when they need to be there? Especially for groups like Sesame Street Live with various shipping locations. Traveling entertainment groups like Sesame Street Live have a unique t-shirt ordering situation. They need their orders shipped to many locations for each of their shows while on tour. Each show is on a different day, in a different city. We time the shipping so the shirts arrive in the right city on exactly the right day. That’s gotta be impossible, right?

    How many times have you heard the phrase buy local? Chances are, you’ve heard it a lot. We all know that buying from local businesses is better for the economy and the environment. It’s nice to get that warm, fuzzy feeling after buying from a small business. You know you just supported a neighbor, not a huge corporation.

  • What is Screen Printing?

    By: Gavin, gavin@annarbortees.com

    over 7 years

    We have many ways of taking bland, boring garments and turning them into something amazing. One of our most popular requests is for garments to be screenprinted, which is a complex process that has been around for over a century.

    We use automatic screen presses. These are big carousels that revolve the garments printing a different color or part of the design at each station. This is a big step up from a manual press, where the operator has to swing different arms of the press into place to print each color. Manual presses limit the speed and amount of colors you could apply to a single garment. Our newest press is capable of printing 864 shirts an hour with up to 12 different colors!

  • How to Order a Shirt: Part 7/99 - Online Group Ordering - The easy way to order shirts for your group

    By: Gavin, gavin@annarbortees.com

    over 7 years

    Remember what a hassle it was when you ordered shirts for your office staff/baseball team/fraternity/insert your organization here? First you had to get everyone’s sizes and choice of shirt style, which took forever, especially when that one guy couldn’t make up his mind whether he wanted a long sleeve or short sleeve tee. Then the worst part - collecting the money! Several members of your organization conveniently “forgot” to bring you their money by the deadline, so you had to push back the order until they finally “remembered”. And finally, the shirts arrived, but you spent another hour of your precious time handing them out. Who knew ordering t-shirts could be so exhausting?
