Did you know that you can actually start a t-shirt business from the comfort of your own home for less than $1000?
Now, you might be thinking, “Don’t you have to spend thousands to get a business up and running?”
This might be true of other industries with exorbitant startup costs, but not for custom t-shirt businesses.
For starters, you don’t even need a printer to transfer designs since you can always download free artwork online. So all you really need is some heat transfer paper and a design to create custom tees, hoodies, and more.
You can literally start fulfilling orders from the moment you set up your machine.
Speaking of setting up your machine, heat presses are small enough to fit just about anywhere. So you don’t have to worry about renting a bigger space to set up your heat press as you do with screen printing.
Lastly, with heat press transfers, you can basically transfer any logo, design or photo without worrying about expensive screen-printing equipment or messy ink-based printing. Just load the garment onto the heat press, place the design and transfer paper on top, and let the heat press work its magic!

With its larger platen, the 16” x 20” flat heat press transfers printed designs onto large t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, totes and more!
While home-based t-shirt printing is an easy and affordable business venture, remember that you can also expand your offerings with a cap press, mug press, or even a plate press.
