Our Customers can't know enough about us and what we do. The more we can do to educate our customers about LB and its quality products, the sooner we get past the initial sticker-shock, and price resistance. We're not selling mass-produced widgets... there really is Quality, Craftsmanship, and Artistry at work here... you need to know that. You will recognize the difference.
Our basic tee is a 5.4 oz. heavyweight, cotton garment; 2 needle stitching, taped shoulders for strength and comfort. Many of our competitors use inferior grade, lighter promotional weight blanks which don't hold up under repeated washing and wearing. They lack the weight that lends longevity and the comfortable cut and fit of a higher grade tee. We use a permanent, color-fast "fiber-reactive" dye system in which the dye particles assimilate into the cellulose of the cotton fiber, locking in the color. Many of our competitors use inferior, petroleum-based "pigment"-type dyes which only bond with the outside of the fiber. Consequently, after repeated washings, these dye particles are literally scraped off the garment, and colors become flat and thin.
Our prints 'fit' our dyes. The artwork is integrated with the dye format. Many competitors don't have the capacity of both custom Dyeworks and a Creative Dept. under one roof. As such they are typically sourcing one function if not both. Their prints often have that "Square picture in a round hole" look.
What you see IS what you get. Quality product is what hangs on the rack, not just a pretty picture in a catalog. Anyone can print a nice sell sheet but is that image what's printed on the garment? For many in the trade the answer is "No". Our screenprinting quality is Industry-leading, award-winning, and recognized as superior in detail, color range, consistency, and permanence.
