    Default Sugar Shack T shirts

    Wondering if any of you have had custom T shirts printed for your sugar shack/sugaring operation?

    Looking to have some made as gifts for the crew/kids/families for Xmas

    Any recommendations are appreciated.

    We did through Custom Ink. We did long and short sleeve T-shirts​. Very happy with them.

    I had hoodies, short sleeve T shirts and long sleeve T shirts. I had them done in light grey with a 2 color logo first and then had a batch of maroon with a white logo made. It's about time for some new ones and I've have had request from past recipients for black hoodies and T's with a 2 color logo. The pic in my signature is the logo on one of the first hoodies.

    That's how I started with making shirts, for family and friends that help. I think I've sold more shirts and sweatshirts than syrup after she put em on facebook. 15419854429181058640805.jpg

    Thanks for the ideas everyone! Di you guys have to do the custom logo work yourself or was it done by the printer?

    The printer did mine. I gave him an idea of what I wanted and he did the rest.

    I ordered new hats back 2 months ago. I have gotten no satisfaction yet, the last notice I got from the guy I ordered them from is that they came in printed wrong (he sends the hats out to another company who embroiders them). The bad part is that he was paid 5 weeks ago.
    Back when I drove bus full time, I worked with this guy's father and ordered thru him. While they were never quick it never went past about 3-4 weeks. I guess in the future if I want to order hats (or shirts, jackets etc) I'll order directly from the one who does their own printing or embroidery.
    My hats will just have my web address on them, no logo. I have not yet done a logo but various printers have offered to do the artwork, someday I might have it done. In fact I have two nieces and a grand daughter, all of which would be able to do the art work.

    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
