Back Prints, Gear Changes & Free Shipping by RedBubble

Posted on March 15, 2010

A few weeks back we updated the tee previews, consider that a metaphorical engine start on the 18 wheeled truck that is clothing design. Now fasten your seat belts people, today we slip into 1st gear with the launch of back prints.


Guns Are Drawn – Raae

There’s not much to explain, it’s the same canvas, but on the back of the shirts and slightly higher. You can select it to preview on the back or let the buyer decide when they’re choosing colours and sizes. And it’s available on all the same styles.


Haida With Respect – onetonshadow

One thing you may notice is you can’t yet have a shirt with a front and back design. There’s a few reasons for this, which aren’t very interesting, but suffice to say we know you want it and we haven’t forgotten, one step at a time eh, one step at a time.


If you can find this tee on the site I’ll reward you with something.


Point – Joanna Snail

Free Shipping Today Only

To celebrate this step forward we’re also offering free shipping on all t-shirts for 24 hours only, giving you a chance to test out this striking new print option. Just enter the code: sdrawkcab in the promo box on checkout when buying any tee.

Clearly you’ll all want to immediately start designing things for the back of the shirt as it’s clearly a different look, but here’s a few that look pretty sweet already…






Bye, for now..

P.S. Because I’m fond of cliffhangers, here’s a sneak preview of 2nd gear…..

    Just a question: Does it do back and front prints on the same tee?

  • RedBubble:

    I think I wrote up there that it doesn’t, see above for more detail.

  • Heather  Waller-Rivet  IPA

  • Michael Alesich

    Michael Alesich

    Very cool.
    Is there any way to choose to not have either back or front. Some of my tees are designed for the front?

  • RedBubble:

    Well currently no, that doesn’t mean things won’t change, but we decided that you get the default preview choice, and while the buyer does have the option to change it at the checkout, it’s very unlikely they’d alter such a thing if the design clearly looked better on the front. Such as your zipper one.

  • Dawn OConnor

    I was going to ask if & when dual prints would become an option, that’s really cool, opens up some new possibilities in terms of concept, good move guy’s & guy’ets, now I love the bubble twice as much.

  • Rick Grundy

    Rick Grundy

    In an attempt to claim the winnings for the missing shirt I searched for “muscle bear”. Apparently that doesn’t mean what I think it means.

  • RedBubble:

    Filthy.

  • Christopher Boucher

    Christopher Bo...

    Hang on, we can print both sides right?

  • RedBubble:

    Not at the same time, at least not yet.

  • Martin Pot

    Martin Pot

    Excellent stuff…looking forward to being able to do front and back prints ;-)

    A couple of things I’d like to see:

    -ability to restrict a print to front or back only (rather than allowing a buyer to select either front or back), as some prints may not be suitable for front or rear prints

    -updated t-shirt previews for bubblesites

  • Anthony Massingham

    Anthony Massin...

    Wonderful work!
    I can’t wait ‘til front and back prints are on the market! I’ve already got some great ideas!

  • Michael Lee

    Michael Lee

    I know it’s “still coming” but without back AND front our creativity is still limited. I guess I’ll just have to wait.

  • Marjolein Katsma

    Marjolein Katsma

    Now if only I could get you guys to actually print red (red red that is), I’d be on my way…

    I agree the designer should be able to restrict the print to only front or back, but this certainly opens up a whole new lot of possibilities!

  • LeslieBattjes

    LeslieBattjes

    give us a hint on that shirt (pretty please!)…used every tag I could think of and then searched all 160+ pages of featured tees before heading off for work earlier.

  • RedBubble:

    Oh dear I didn’t mean to start this hunt exactly. Basically I had some test file from 3 years ago, thought it would make a good back print, and used it and then went to find the artists to pay him his cut and couldn’t, perhaps we lost him….

  • CapturedByKylie

    CapturedByKylie

    So………….. are you saying that this tee is NOT on RB at all?
    I searched for over 6 hours straight going thru recent tees, featured tees, tees made my new members, using every search word/tag i could possibly could be used for this design and then continued to search for thru the Tee page in general and all along you knew nobody would find it

    If this is true, i have to say it’s a cruel thing to do, but it’s a great way to get us looking at all the great tees available on RB!! I have some new fave tees now!

  • RedBubble:

    Wow, I really had no idea anyone would go to that much effort, I kind of didn’t think anyone would even read that. It might be on RB it might not, either way I do really want to find the artist and I searched pretty hard myself.

    6 hours? Wow….

  • Christopher Boucher

    Christopher Bo...

    Even though we can’t do both sides, it’s still cool. We all know some designs are meant for the backside anyhow right? May I ask if this limitation is due to production/labour costs alone, or mechanical limitations regarding the printing equipment? I am merely curious.
