T-SHIRT PRINTING & MERCHANDISING

DTL Creative can cater for all your design needs. You are more than welcome to submit your own designs for print however for around $300.00 we can create a professional design that will see your brand/band get noticed and more importantly start working for you.

How it works
You send us via email a creative brief on what you need. Also attach any logo’s or anything else you want included in the design. The more information you provide is the fastest way to make sure our artists can deliver what you want. This is important to us! We will then send you some samples via e-mail in jpg format and if you like what you see we can move on from there.

* You will pay only for the approved designs and we will send you the original illustrator files via email, ftp or other ways more convenient to you.

The benefits of using our design department vs DIY.

1. We know what we’re doing when it comes to silkscreen specific designing. All our designs are made with the soul purpose of being printed onto cloth. So with that in mind we can guarantee that the design we show you will come out looking like it was intended to once it hits print. Can you say the same?
2. We will create you a product that people will actually want to use or wear which in turn equals a product that you will easily sell and make money on.
3. T-shirts are the best form of advertising for bands if the t-shirt look cool. Your brand/band will still be being advertised in 10 years time when the t-shirt is the rag someone is using to wash their car. If this is the case why not do it properly the first time. Instead of looking like the other 30,000 local bands, stand out above the rest and look like the real thing.
4. We have an amazing art department and also access to some of the worlds best graphic artists, Whatever you are after whether it be dark, light, gothic, serious, grungy, punk or metal we have an artist that will make your brand/band stand out from the rest.
5. It’s time saving and cost effective. Unless you are a world class graphic designer using programs such as illustrator all day everyday we highly doubt you would be able to turn out the designs we can in the same amount of time or to the level of quality. So why not stop fucking around and just get the job done now. You will have T-shirts delivered to your door within 21 days if you get started right now.
6. All shirts designed by DTL creative and then merchandised through the DTL online store get added to the indie blinde promotion where we bundle your shirts with more recognised bands shirts in promo offers. Therefore increasing the sales of your brand. We only use the shirts that were designed by DTL as this way we ensure our customers the highest quality.
7. DTL Creative advertise regularly in various print and internet media. We always include works from our art department in our advertising therefore maximising the exposure of your brand/band. We don't include works we didn't create.
