100% Poly – Comfortable & Affordable

admin — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 17:11:15 +0000

With the continuing shortage and higher prices of cotton, apparel mills have been increasing production on ringspun, polyester Performance Wear. These lighter, more comfortable, and now affordable tees have become more readily available from our vendors and their popularity for screen printing bulk t-shirts orders has risen nearly five times from a year ago.

For those of you not familiar with the style, here’s a brief overview.
Sweat cools your body when it evaporates from the surface of your skin. But sometimes the volume of sweat you produce is too great for it all to disperse. Instead, the watery excretion gets soaked up by your cotton T-shirt, which gets damp and gross as it slurps up the excess moisture. Performance apparel solves that problem by “wicking” sweat away from your body, just like the wick of a candle absorbs liquid and draws it upward. The sweat-removing shirts, with their polyester-blended fabrics and chemical treatments, pull perspiration away from the skin and push it through the clothing’s surface, where it evaporates. The result: a comfortable, dry body in the hottest of temperatures.

For information and pricing, we have added six (6) different styles to the Price Estimator. Hanes, Augusta, UltraClub, Badger Sport, Champion, and Inner Harbor. There are many more styles that you can find in the Catalogs, but these are a great start if you are looking for a price point. Ordering as low as 72 performance tees with an imprint on the front left chest and a large imprint on the back can run as low as $15.00 each. And the screen printing quality is second to none, a real soft-hand feel with water-based and plastisols.

In the Price Estimator, be sure to select “100% Polyester Wicking Tees” in the pull-down menu and enter the following promotional code to receive an additional discount. This additional discount will run through September 30, 2011. (POLYINSEPT11)

NC Tees’ Role in the Oil Spill Cleanup

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 01:20:48 +0000

Albeit an indirect role, NC Tees will play a part in the Gulf oil spill cleanup along the shorelines and beaches. We have teamed with Ensolve Biosystems, maker of the PetroLiminator, an MEPC 107(49) approved biomechanical oil water separator, in the label printing production of the ShoreClean Bags and Booms. After a week of ink testing, we have determined that only one high viscosity ink combined with a light adhesion promoter could effectively be applied to the untreated polypropylene substrate.

ShoreClean is a safe and natural solution for effectively cleaning oil spill contamination from coastal regions. When ShoreClean bags or booms are properly implemented, wave action releases oil-degrading microbes and nutrients to stimulate oil degradation in the environment. ShoreClean Booms contain a natural oleophilic and hydrophobic sorbent capable of absorbing 8 times their weight in oil.

“This biotechnology approach was proven effective in combating the Exxon Valdez oil spill as supported by EPA and US Coast Guard studies, and has been further enhanced by EnSolve in creating the ShoreClean product.”

It is our understanding that when coastal cities and Municipalities deploy the bags at the high tide mark, a contaminated beach can be cleared of the oil debris in just a few short days.

Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure

Each and every year we design, layout, produce screens, print, fold and bag t shirts for numerous teams and families supporting their loved ones in the Susan G. Komen “Annual Race For the Cure” in Raleigh, NC.

At every stage of production, we can’t help but to get a clear mental picture all of these teams together who have either lost someone to Breast Cancer or a family supporting another with the struggle. It’s a tough reality check in numbers.

We proudly support the Raleigh NC Chapter of the Susan G. Komen For the Cure. The discounts we offer the teams just leave us wishing we could do even more. Perhaps next year we will look into removing the discounts and donating a larger portion of the proceeds to the cause. Good luck to all of this year’s participants and God Bless the families and their supporters.

Online Registration for the Raleigh, NC Walk ends on June 10th at midnight.
You can register for the walk online here. More than 20,000 people in our own backyard were served with funds from last year’s Race. It is so much more than a 5K walk. It’s our Raleigh community coming together to end breast cancer forever.
