Printing T-Shirts, etc

[BigFish]

I'm thinking about offering customised T-shirts, mugs, etc for ordering from my club's website, and was wondering if anyone could recommend companies who print low volume, customised objects.

I got the idea from the service offered by www.cafepress.com (http://www.cafepress.com). But for anyone ordering from the UK their postage charge is really too high to be popular on low volumes. Does anyone know of any similar service based in the UK or Europe.

Could be a useful fund raising idea if we can find a local printer!

Sorry Michael, I didn't explain very well.

What CafePress do, is allow you to submit an image file for the t-shirt design. They then print "1" shirt to that design whenever someone orders via your website. It might cost a little bit more for each shirt, but there is no bulk order involved. Each order is for a single shirt of a given size.

In other words, no minimum quantity, and the design can be changed whenever you like.

Unfortunately, shipping from the US is charged at about £15 on a £10 shirt (by CafePress). Which is why I was asking if anyone knew of a similar service based in the UK or Europe.

Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll look into those as alternatives too.
