Arm The Animals Tee Brand Review.

Arm The Animals

Arm The Animals Tee Brand is a charitable business that supports Animal Rights. Meaning that a portion of the proceeds goes to various charities supporting that cause.

As for the Print Quality, the shirts and fleece that we have are printed slightly above the average Direct To Garment digital prints and are on par with ones that you would find at sites such Redbubble.

This is a print-to-order type of business so the turnaround time is usually great. Here is their shipping policy in their own words:

Shipping Policy

"We run most online orders on a “print to order basis” and we begin fulfillment as soon as possible. We buy blanks, produce, QC, and ship every day of the week and we can turn most orders in 5-7 business days. We are always working on this process to make it faster and more efficient and each quarter, we can get our orders out a day or two quicker. "

Arm The Animals Tee Brand Interview:

How did Arm The Animals Tee Brand get started and what is your brand all about?

Arm The Animals was born from tragedy in 2010 as an attempt to express the inexpressible. Created following the untimely death of my sister (who a lifelong animal advocate and “pet parent” to a dozen rescues), Arm The Animals would serve as a living tribute and means of carrying on a legacy that was ended too soon. It all started as an emotional reaction and a hobby, but thankfully, it took and has evolved into the brand you see today.

What are the ATA ideals?

Our ideals are really simple: Make killer tees and make an impact on the welfare of as many animals in need as possible. We want to be the voice of people out there who are not extremists, but truly care about animal welfare. We like to send a strong message via imagery and up to this point, we think we have done a good job of that. Charitable cause are really personal and subjective, but we see millions of animals in need and we just want to help as best we can. Our company motto is, “Speak for the Speechless & Defend the Defenseless”, so that’s the basic credo all of our designs speak to.

Who designs the tees?

95% of all designs are done in house and by myself or RJ Ochoa. We try to do as much in-house as possible, but about 2 years ago, we began reaching out and using a small network of artists from around the world. We have released items featuring art from Thailand, The Philippines Australia, The UAE, Ukraine and more. We really like the idea of getting a new, “Global take” on our concepts, which can be tough to do from inside the company. We have also had guest artists come and work in the office with us for weeks at a time; Franz Garcia (http://franzdg.blogspot.com/) & Tony Koehl (http://www.sketchthesoul.com/featured/they-died-not-knowing-tony-koehl.html) made major contributions to our releases over the past 2 years in particular.

What inspires the tees?

We have been inspired by making an impact on the general welfare of animals, but certain instances also influence us. For example, when Cecil the lion was killed last year, it inspired a hugely successful design that raised over $12,000 for the ZCTF, who patrols the area where Cecil was killed. Originally, ATA started as just a hobby to help cat/dog shelters and it has now mushroomed into covering all animals of all types. So many species are facing extinction and plight that there is no shortage of inspiration and when it all comes together, like it did with Cecil, the results are amazing!

How would you classify the tees?

We’re actually proud that there is no clear classification for our tees; I mean, they are graphic tees, but you can’t simply say they are high fashion, or hipster, or beach life inspired or political, etc. To us, they are all that… Animal welfare cuts across every demographic on the planet, so we’re lucky to be able to appeal to so many different kinds of people. This isn’t easy, but it is a good problem to have in our estimation.

When we researched animal welfare tees back in 2010 when we started the company - all we found was kittens and butterflies, or blood and guts - with nothing in between for the every man or every woman out there. We wanted to make tees for people who are pissed and care about animals and want to show it - so that’s what we attempted to do. We have had any kind of person you could imagine support us and have even seen three generations of a family all buy a different shirts from us at an event. That’s something special and it’s not something a ton of brands can pull off.

The review breakdown of their DTG Printed products are as follows:

Why NeatoShop Is the Best Tshirt Print Quality.

NeatoShop Best tshirt print quality

Why NeatoShop is the best tshirt print quality.

Firstly, NeatoShop takes the time to calibrate each design individually to get a high contrasting color match. Secondly, the ink is laid down thick on a generous layer of pretreater assuring that the design will not be washed away anytime soon. (Wash Inside Out, On Cold, Tumble Dry Warm). Thirdly, the inks that NeatoShop uses is unparalleled in vibrancy.  Finally, all colors especially at the Red end of the spectrum are true to expectations of having the best tshirt print quality. To elaborate, many side by side comparisons have been shown here to demonstrate such as the TeePublic Vs NeatoShop comparison.

Why NeatoShop is the best POD service.

For starters, their drop shipping program and POD Service are top notch. Also, with a quicker than average turnaround time, attention to detail, and outstanding customer service all areas are covered.  Then, if something doesn't match up to their high standards, they will tweak their settings until things are correct.

In conclusion, I have reviewed many brands over the years and NeatoShop outshines them all from the very beginning through the present consistently. They are the absolute best DTG and POD service bar-none providing the very best t-shirt print quality.

Their Quality score has since gone down hill, as the prints wear out fast. So figure a 2.5 to 3 star. 7/31/2019
TeePublic Tee Brand

TeePublic Tee Brand is one of the newest or most recent Print On Demand T-shirt sites using the Direct To Garment Digital Printing method and they are of the high quality. I Most of their designs cover the same Pop Cultures bases as all of the other Shirt A Day and Limited Edition T-shirt Brands out there. But there are some artistic tees that stand out as well. They are a respectable Print on Demand site.

As for Print Quality, The shirts and hoodies that I have still hold up after months of regular wear and washing. So if you miss your chance at a Limited Edition print run, you may find the design here as a Digital Printed tee. They do tend to print the Blue end of the spectrum better than they do the Red end. This is not to say that their prints look bad, just don't expect vibrant Reds or for any Red on the printed product to match the product thumbnails on their website.

This is a print to order type of business so the turn around time is usually great. Here is their shipping policy in their own words:

NeatoShop Tee Brand Review.

NeatoShop

NeatoShop is one of the newest or most recent Print On Demand T-shirt sites using the Direct To Garment Digital Printing method and they are of the highest quality. It is owned by the popular blog NeatoRama. Most of their designs cover the same Pop Cultures bases as all of the other Shirt A Day and Limited Edition T-shirt Brands out there.

They are my favorite for the Print on Demand sites. The shirts and hoodies that I have still look vibrant after a couple of years of regular wear and washing. So if you miss your chance at a Limited Edition print elsewhere, try NeatoShop first. Their prints always look fantastic, even the Red ink which the competition does not even come close to replicating.

This is a print to order type of business so the turn around time is usually great. Here is their shipping policy in their own words:

"In most cases, your order will be packed and shipped out our doors within a few days. Sometimes it does take longer when we're jammed, especially during holidays, so please don't wait till the last minute to order!

If you want faster delivery, we do offer Priority Mail, Express Mail, UPS Next Day and UPS Second Day Air. Those orders also get priority printing.

If you live outside of the United States, your package will be shipped by postal airmail. In most countries, postal service is very quick and reliable - the slow step is usually customs clearance. Because the rate of custom clearance varies from country to country, we cannot give a definite time frame of delivery. Standard international shipping may take 2 to 10 weeks, and if your package is held for customs inspection, it may take a few weeks longer.

You can choose expedited shipping methods for international destinations. These usually take about 1 to 2 weeks to be delivered, subject to customs delay.

Because customs clearance is outside our control, we are unable to provide time-definite delivery guarantee for both standard and expedited international shipping."

If you qualify you can even open up your own shop and start making money selling your designs.
