Design Your Own T-Shirt Online

At RockSports, our goal is to give our customers the best experience when shopping for decorated apparel. One of the best ways we have improved our screen printing and embroidery services is by improving our technology. We've experienced a lot of success with our Online Apparel Stores (now called Rock Apparel Shops), which give our customers the ability to sell their products online easily. This year we are unveiling our new online t-shirt designer.

Have you ever wanted to design a custom t-shirt and order it online? RockSports brings you the convenience of ordering custom t-shirts online coupled with the dependability of professional, local printing.

How can we offer low minimums. It is simple, we use the latest technology. Direct-to-garment printing has come a long way in the last five years. We are now seeing water-based, screen printing-like quality from a digital printing machine. RockSports employs this technology for any www.rockapparelshop.com order.

Here is a quick tutorial on how to design your own t-shirt online:

Step 1: Visit this address (http://rocksports.deco-apparel.com/home/create) or www.rockapparelshop.com and click on the 'Design' link at the top of the page and choose your garment.
Step 2: Choose your garment color and select 'Printing' or 'Embroidery' from the links on the right.
Step 3: Select whether you would like to add text or a design. You can add either or both, just choose which one you would like to begin with.
Step 4: Choose your design from our wide selection of graphics or upload your own and enter your text in the provided field.
Step 5: Adjust the alignment, size, and any text effects you have applied and when you're satisfied with your t-shirt design click the 'Add to Cart' button on the right hand side.
Step 6: Once your t-shirt is in your cart, you can create another shirt or go ahead and check-out.
Step 7: Finally, proceed through our easy to use and secure check out system and in just a few shirt steps, your order process is complete.
Now that you know the process and just how easy it is to design and order your own custom t-shirt, give it a try today.

**Note: for dark garments, in quantities less than 6, we use a heat press decal to apply to your shirt. This may change soon!

Rock Apparel Shop allows you to create your own t-shirt design, put your created design on the garment of your choice, and then build your own online store to sell designed product. As you create the shirt

Sell your product/Ideas - Think corporate apparel, rock band merchandise, sports fan wear, or booster club merchandise. Create your own online store through Rock Apparel Shop and start making money. What is the cost? As for now, it is free if you are willing to do a little bit of set-up work.

Doesn't RockSports have an online designer? Yes! But, not like this. This one has thousands of high resolution clip art images. You can also upload your own artwork. It is also integrated with our production machines. That means quicker turn-around-times for our customers.

Round Rock Youth Baseball

Baseball is huge in Central Texas and for a good reason. Round Rock has produced some serious talent, including the likes of several local legends playing in the big leagues. Round Rock is also home to our good friends at the Dell Diamond, the Round Rock Express. At RockSports we take a small part in the action by providing custom baseball jerseys and by adding names and numbers to jerseys and hats.

We are starting to get several teams coming in to add on names and numbers. I thought it would be good to show an example and give pricing here in case your team needs to customize its jerseys.

Heat press names are $6.00 per jersey. Embroidered names on caps are $6.00 per jersey.

To order custom jerseys or to add names and numbers to your existing jerseys give us a call at 512-249-9695.

RockSports is a proud sponsor of the Round Rock Express. Read more about it here - http://www.rocksports.net/rrexpress.php

Leander ISD

We have waited a while and it is finally done - RockSports is an approved vendor for Leander ISD!

Based on the feedback from our customers, last year RockSports opened a second location in the Cedar Park area. Our goal is to provide professional screen printing and embroidery services at a convenient destination for schools, sports teams, and businesses in the NW Austin, Cedar Park, and Leander area.

Our first priority was to reach out to the schools in the area to offer the same screen printing and embroidery services we have offered to RRISD. Today we were given confirmation that we are an approved vendor for custom apparel screen printing or embroidery services for Leander ISD affiliated organization.

If you need school T-shirts or staff polos, or perhaps your booster club would like to get custom apparel, then give us a call at 512-249-9695.
