The new year comes more awarenes of quality and price. A low price at the big box stores may get you a savings in the short run, byt when teh item wears fast you need to replace it, it could cost you more than you wanted. The cheap price can be very inviting but it also reflects on the quality of your busness. Since we have done awat with the minimum requirement for blank and embroidery orders, many prices have come down online.

I just had a visit from my Jerzees rep and he brought me up to speed on the new and improved Jerzees sweats and t-shirts. All imprint able hoods have a double layer of fabric to keep the shape of the hood and keep you warmer. Jerzees had also double stitched the seams for durability. The Jerzees brand sweats you see in the large box stores are not the same sweatshirt and certainly not the same quality. Jerzees also has widened the armhole for a more comfortable fit and dropped the neckband on the t-shirts so they are not as tight around your neck. The fabric has a tightre weave to show off your print more and keeps you warmer than before. They have also increased the weight by .5oz., which is closer to the heavy weights of 9.0oz at the same lower costs of the 8.0oz sweats. WE also carry Hanes and Gildan which are in the same price range. Free quotes are easy by email. Just send us your Logo with the *.jpg or *.gif format. Our email button is located on all our website pages or you can call us at 785-6862. You can easily find us just west of Blackfoot off the Arco Highway. We can deliver some orders in town. For the Blackfoot area, the hard copy of the online catalog is FREE, jut come and pick on up.
