We have been waiting for this quite a long time: After solving final issues with the local authorities (such as TüV - which is an institution that checks the machine and worker’s safety) we yesterday kicked off Digital Direct Printing in Europe with a soft launch. Soft launch means: to minimize communication efforts and trouble shooting (if there is some ;)) we start in our own German T-Shirt designer first, with limited apparel only (currently the white Comfort Tee). This gives us the time to react to any contingencies. Once we know it works fine, we will scale up and enable Digital Direct for more products and partners as well. If you are interested in the status and the progress of the soft launch, take a look at the Forum thread.

Time’s on speeeeeed, honestly! Just yesterday or so our new Headquarter would look like this. Only a few moments later all the little dwarfs (Heinzelmännchen is what we call them in Germany) throw their scoops aside, and today it looks like this:
And in a few more weeks we will be moving in completely to our new Headquarter in Leipzig Plagwitz. Of course we spent a couple of thoughts on how we show from the outside that Spreadshirt is located here.
This is our idea: outside the building we will mount plates that look like T-Shirts in different sizes, shapes and colors (and as if they were “stuck” to the building). Therefore, we need your help!
To make these shirts not only huge T-Shirts, but SPREADshirts, we kindly ask for your support: Give us your favourite 3 designs that we should put on the shirts outside the building! In the end, we will put up 10 shirts with your designs!

Jessica Hagy is well known in the blogoshere for her unique take on Mathematical Charts and Venn Diagrams. Over on her blog, Indexed, you can find over 500 notecards filled with my personal favourites such as Danger!Danger!, Let it go and Ticked. Jessicas “doodles” have proven so popular that she now has her own book (for sale on Amazon), and her own Spreadshirt Shop! Jessica was kind enough to answer a few of Michels questions, which can be found in the full post…
After the launch of digital direct in the US earlier this year and the move of our production in Leipzig to a new (and bigger) spot we finally are able to kick off Digital Direct in Europe, too. We will start with Digi Direct next week on wednesday, June 4th.* Continue reading ‘Digital Direct @ Spreadshirt Europe’
We haven’t been making too much noise about it. Yet!

That’s why we need your story: What’s your favourite T-Shirt and why do you like it? Send us your foto wearing your favourite shirt, and a short text until Monday evening 6PM to stories AT spreadshirt . net
And this is what you can win:
A meeting on our balcony: Jonas and Henning are discussing the marketplace.
Jonas owns some Spreadshirt Shops and did the wonderful inofficial Marketplace Search “Spreadtags”. “I just thought the other day - this can’t be too complicated. So I sat down and did the whole thing in just one night. Okay, maybe it was a little “brute force” for your servers, but the Spreadtags Search was ready to go.” With his Search requests he indeed created some issues for our IT (and the servers) - but in the end we found a solution to support his project (which is, btw. also very popular amongst Spreadshirt employees).
In the meantime Spreadtags offers over 160.000 tags in the European Marketplace, and is also available for the US Marketplace.

Sustainability is our big theme in April: Earth Day, Bamboo and Eco-Cotton – Bambi will surely show up too. “Everything beautiful and good,” our production taoist philosophized, who might have just watched too much Star Wars. “You can push yourself as much as you want. As long as you behold the light and not the shadow, Ying and Yang won’t be in balance.”
That sounds unbelievably wise, impressed us greatly and let’s us simply imagine ripping through the forest at 130 km/h.

Ok, here’s a quick update on 2 new features which just went live today.
Number 1:
You can now edit your products once you have created them in the shop admin area!
Number 2:
It is now possible to change the shipping address once you are in the checkout process (rather than going back and editing your profile)
We are please to finally be able to offer 2 of the more “obvious” shop partner requested features.
And here are a couple of screenshots:
The new “edit product” button now on the admin area:
Every year the same buzz. Hearts arrive everywhere at the scenery and your local pizza delivery service tries to cash in the feelings with heart shaped tuna pieces brought to you for free when you order between …
