Questionnaire Results

The most common answers were...

Inexpensive and easy vendor ordering is the most popular

The most common response was to order an original design from a store to a design t-shirt store, with 50 votes

• When I was in high school, I always made class T-shirts. There is a wide variety of colors and shapes, and it is inexpensive if you order for a large number of people. (20s / Female / Student)
• Because I want to buy original printed T-shirts with my favorite design and guaranteed quality at not too expensive prices. (50s / Female / Company employee)
• Because I have used them before and liked the quality of the workmanship, and if I had to make one, I would do so. (50's / Female / Part-time job)
• I think it is safe to order from a store. It is very difficult to make it by yourself. (50s / Female / Part-time job)
• Because I actually took that method when I made it in circle activities. (20's / Male / Student)

Many of the respondents answered that this method is the best way to make Custom T-shirts because of its good quality and relatively inexpensive price. Many respondents have actually ordered this service, and it can be said that the low cost and ease with which even high school students can order this service is appealing. Despite the ease of ordering, if they do the design themselves, they can make their own Custom T-shirts, and the risk of making a mistake is lower than with a vendor. It seems that the reputation of contractors as a good choice for making Custom T-shirts is well established among many people.

Transfer prints for hobbyists, artist designs for satisfaction

The second most popular choice was to print your own transfers with 26 votes, and the third most popular choice was to buy a one-of-a-kind item from an artist with 20 votes.

• If you do it yourself, it is less expensive and the work process is more enjoyable. (30s / male / part-timer)
• If you want to design it the way you like, it is the lowest-price and easiest way to transfer it yourself. (40s / Female / Company employee)
• Recently, equipment for such purposes has been developed, and I think I can make something of a reasonable quality by myself. (30s / male / self-employed (sole proprietor))
• I wanted to buy the artist's products based on the rarity of being the one and only. (20s / Female / Housewife)
• If I buy a one-of-a-kind item, I can wear what I like without having to share it with anyone else. (30s / Female / Unemployed)

Those who print their own prints said they enjoy the work process and the cost advantages. If you are confident in your skills, you may be able to make something as good as a vendor, and some people simply like to make handmade costumes and other items. However, it does not seem to be suitable for mass production. Buying something from an artist is high quality, and if it is made by a creator you are a fan of, it will be very fun to wear. It seems to be for people who want to enjoy Custom T-shirts just for themselves

It's divided by whether you just enjoy yourself or if you enjoy wearing it with everyone else

The answers seem to indicate that there are two types of Custom T-shirts, one to be worn by a group of people for an event, and the other to be worn by only one person to stand out and feel satisfied. If you need a large quantity of originally designed T-shirts, a vendor is the best choice, and many people have actually done so. On the other hand, many people answered "I think so" for completely one-of-a-kind items, suggesting that not many people practice it. It would be better to use different types of T-shirts, such as those of the artist or self-made prints when you want to be completely dedicated to yourself, and those of a vendor for staff T-shirts or class T-shirts to be worn by everyone.
