In these times when it's challenging to reach your customers, sometimes it's necessary to take the unconventional path. Do you want to offer your art on a shirt or tote? Maybe you haven't considered this before, and now you're interested in creating a new revenew channel?

Some shirt manufacturers use tear away tags so that us #dtgprinters can self brand our garments. It's never a bad idea to put your name on a quality piece. Unlike the previous blog post, where Vertical Street silently works in the background, this is a chance for us to shine and let the world know that the awesome color design on the sleeve or front or back of that shirt was made by us.
