It is a new feature that can help our customers see what kind of quality we produce. This is a great feature that will allow customers to see our custom screenprinting and custom embroidery.

What is a good product for college students?

When I get asked what is the best way to advertise my business to a demographic of college students I say have you seen the Port & Company® - Laundry Bag. When you are trying to make your corporate logo recognizable you have to give the student something they will use. It also has to be unique, so someone else has not already given out the same product. I don’t think there is a better product for that than the Port & Company® - Laundry Bag it is a classic favorite for colleges, camps, overnights and more! 100% cotton, large laundry bag, shoulder strap, and drawcord closure. Size: 33.5"h x 23.75"w
This product can be custom screenprinted or embroidered, which ever you prefer. If you are looking for my advice I would lean more to the screenprinting for two reasons. The screenprinting gives you a bigger print area and secondly it is a lot cheaper.
Give one of our friendly sales staff a call and get your order in on this unique and very popular item.

How to choose the best golf shirts?


The definition of the term "best" can mean different things to different people. It all depends on whom you ask. So, when faced with the difficulty of choosing the "best" golf shirt, be sure and consider that the answers will vary. Some define the "best" as the most fashionable. Some will give answers based on what they find most comfortable. Still others will base their opinion on the type of material the shirt is made of. This will present a couple of options of golf shirts available and thus hopefully provide readers the opportunity to define the "best" based on their own tastes.


Golf shirts exist in every color of the rainbow, in all different patterns. They are also made in a variety of different materials, including cotton and polyester and are available in men's (up to 6X in some styles), ladies and youth sizes. And maybe the best thing about golf shirts is that they can cost as little or as much as you are willing to spend. Golf shirts come in short sleeves or long sleeves. Some have collars and some don't.

Up until a few years ago, it was considered a major fashion mistake to wear anything but a collared shirt when playing golf. Many golf and country clubs did not (and some still do not) allow golfers to play at their courses if the golfer wasn't wearing a shirt with a collar. Things began to change when pro golfers began wearing golf apparel with mock turtlenecks. Mocks come in long sleeves and short, and they tend to be made out of lighter-weight materials. Fashionable and comfortable, mock turtlenecks certainly present a great option for golfers.

For the perfect combination of style, comfort and quality, golf shirts made of what is called ringspun combed cotton two-ply double mercerized material (yes, it's a mouthful) allow an easy transition from a day at the office to an afternoon at the golf course. Lightweight and durable, most double mercerized shirts have a slight shine to them, providing for a clean, crisp look. The shirts look expensive and generally are. Don't be afraid to spend a little extra money for such a high-quality item. Durability and versatility ensure that these shirts are well worth the cost.

The great news is that no matter what feature you find most appealing, there is a golf shirt available that will suit you perfectly. So, if you are looking to have your logo custom embroidered, we can help you find the 'best' golf shirt for your needs.

Does Bender Apparel Donate to Non-Profits?

This is probably one of the hardest things I deal with on a day to day basis. When it comes to custom screen-printing you are going to have a lot of custom screen printed non-profit custom t-shirts. That’s right; a lot of our customers are non-profit organizations. I do try to help some, but as you will see we don’t have a lot of room to discount our prices. We are already one of the lowest priced custom screen printers and custom embroiderers on the web. I will say that we proudly sponsor our state's Ronald McDonald Houses and our local Special Olympics.
I would love be able to give away more to some of hard work non-profit agencies, but it just is not feasible to help them all.
If you have any questions about this blog please contact me personally at 888-222-9542.

Which Embroidery Machine is the BEST?

Well guys, this is one of those questions that everyone has an answer for. I will tell you what I have experienced. We started our custom embroidery business in 1990 with a Baruden and it was a definite lemon. The company came in and let us use a 4-head for a while, but I will always say that machine never ran right. We moved into Tajima and never went back.

I have been to many shows and the quality of a Tajima is evident even there. If you look at some of the other brands you can see more plastic parts, usually seem louder and just dont seem as sturdy as the Tajima Embroidery Machine.

Custom Embroidery is not an easy thing. It takes years to master custom digitizing and the ability to know what to sew on what fabrics. The last thing you want is an underperforming machine to mess that up.

If you have any questions about our custom embroidery please let us know.

Red House Tailored Shirts

Red House Apparel is one of the finest apparel makers I have used. From their silk shirts to their non-iron shirts. I love them all. I usually dont pick out one company to push, but I have been wearing this brand for 6 months now and I have been very impressed. The price point on this brand is a little higher than the next, but they are worth every penny.





The non-iron shirts achieve that superb looked effortlessly. They have different cuts and different patterns. I have other brands I like, but Red House is my favorite at this time.

If you have any questions on Red House or any other custom embroidered apparel please give us a call at 888-222-9542.

What is Embroidery Digitizing Mean?

Using digitizing software, a skilled embroidery digitizer transforms an image or text to stitches, creating the image in a file format an embroidery machine can read.

Well that is how we would define it but there is alot more to it than that. Just as typing words into a word processor does not make one an author, being able to open digitizing software on a computer does not make the operator an embroidery digitizer. Embroidery digitizing is not a click-the-button-and-sit-back process. Digitizing an image for embroidery requires an artist's ability to see the big picture and the smallest of details. Experienced embroidery digitizers mentally dissect each image, breaking it out into sections and layers, noting how each section relates to the others, how the colors blend and merge and how the shadows play with the light to create the mood or atmosphere the image evokes.

As you can see it takes alot of thought and creativity to be able to get the custom embroidery spool rolling :) If you have any questions about your custom embroidery logo or about embroidery digitizing please give us a call toll free at 888-222-9542

Embroidery Process

Custom Embroidery consists of two steps.

The creation of a computer program using specialized software to control the embroidery machine.
Using this computer program to custom embroider the logo repetitively onto custom apparel.
The first step, called embroidery digitizing, is typically a one-time process. It requires relatively clean artwork as a starting point. While, a business card, letterhead, or a decal will suffice as this artwork, camera-ready or computer generated graphics from a program such as Corel Draw or Adobe Photoshop result in truer finished embroidery. The digitizing process involves converting artistic elements into embroidery objects, and can become expensive for complex, detailed, or large graphics.

The second step, the actual custom embroidery, consists of first fixing the area of the garment to be embroidered in a device called a hoop. Next we attach the hooped garment to the embroidery machine so that it can be embroidered. Finally we remove the backing material used to stabilize the fabric during embroidery.

Once this is done we have a custom embroidered logo that is ready to be worn. If you have any questions about the embroidery process please let us know at 888-222-9542.

What does Embroidery Heads Mean?

I get asked all the time what does it mean when someone says they run X amount of heads. In custom embroidery you run embroidery machines that have different amounts of heads. What this means is if you are running a 6 head machine you have the capability to run 6 products at a time. Our preferred machine of choice is the Tajima 6 head machine. It has the capability of running up to 14 colors per design and is one of the best embroidery machines for caps. Basically on a 6 head machine you have 6 individual heads with 14 needles. They are quite amazing to watch. I catch myself walking thru my shop and just standing and staring at those amazing machines. At www.bendershirts.com we run tajimas exclusively and have no plans of changing. If you are looking for custom embroidery then look no further, contact Bender Apparel Graphics for state of the art custom embroidery and witness the kind of quality you can get from Tajima embroidery machines.

Which Golfshirt is the Best

When it comes to custom embroidered golf shirts there are many choices. The first question to ask yourself is what if my budget. When talking about custom golf shirts you price can range from $11.00 - $80.00. I like to ask my customers what they are using their golf shirts for so that I can better understand the purpose. If it is a school that are looking for a custom embroidered golf shirt to wear once or twice a month, I recommend the Jerzees 50/50 golf shirt. This is a fairly inexpensive golf shirt but serves the purpose for many of my clients. Now if I am talking to a law firm who are looking for a casual Friday shirt, I would lead them to the Devon & Jones line. The Devon & Jones sports a great look for a great price. Most of my corporate customers go with the D100 for a nice look wash after wash.

When it comes to embroidering golf shirts, let http://www.bendershirts.com/ help you pic the best golf shirt for the money. We will guide you thru every part of the process. Custom embroidery and custom screen printing is what we do best. Let our expertise in this area make your company or organization stand out over the rest.

Should I screen print a Golfshirt

At www.bendershirts.com we don't recommend custom screenprinting on golfshirts. There are a few types of golfshirts screenprinting will work on, but the majority of polo shirts look more professional with custom embroidery. One example of a good screenprinted golf shirt is the 437m Jerzees Golf shirt. It is made out of a cotton poly blend and has the texture of a t-shirt. You can custom screenprint the front and back of this golf shirt with no problem. Most golfshirts have a knit that doesn't lend itself to the screenprinting. A good example of this golfshirt is the 2100 Outerbanks Golfshirt. On pique knit golfshirts we recommend the custom embroidery which is the process of stitching a logo onto a garment.

Let www.bendershirts.com help you on your next custom golfshirt order.
