Printed t shirts  as promotional clothing are ideal for high impact promotional campaigns. They are versatile, mobile and highly visible and therefore of great value when it comes to promotional merchandise.

When asking for a price for printed t shirts, if the quantity you require is close to the next quantity price break, ask for the price for the next quantity price break as well and you will often find that it is more cost effective or sometimes even cheaper. When determining the quantity of promotional t-shirts required, always add 10%-20% depending on the quantity. You are always better off with more custom branded t-shirts than less as we always find that clients come back asking to print more promotional t-shirts. Remember, the more you purchase in one order, the less you pay.

Consider the event and the environment the promotional clothing are going to be worn in. If the printed t shirts are going to be for a one off event, you can choose lower premium tees, however, if the t-shirts are to be worn by your team for everyday work, you will require a more hardwearing t-shirts. Cool dry tees should be considered for more humid areas, summer and high level activity.  

Screen printing on branded t shirts work best on quality garments. Do not compromise your brand name for cheap low quality printed tees. Choose a promotional clothing distributor who carries a wide range of best value tees from renowned quality manufacturers to ensure great quality prints for your logo. More people are inclined to wear clothing they like. A good quality custom printed tee will give you a higher return on your investment with longer wears and brand exposure.

When choosing the sizes of your promotional tees, think of your target market. Unisex printed t shirts are great for more general promotions when you are unsure of the target audience sizes, for example, if you are giving out the clothing at a trade show. Bear in mind that unisex tees are more generous in sizes. If you have a more defined target market, for example, t-shirts to be worn by female fitness trainers, then you would be better off with ladies’ cooldry fitted t shirts.

Choose the tee based on the objective of your promotional campaign. For example, if you wish to communicate an eco friendly image, choose an organic tee. There are many styles and colours of t-shirts to suit your event from V neck, short sleeve, three quarter sleeve, long sleeve, crew neck in plain or contrast colours.

Other than screen printing, t-shirts can also be embroidered or imprinted with digital transfers of your logo. Embroidery is not recommended on thinner fabric tees as it has a heavier backing. For a complex multicolour logo, digital transfer is best. However, screen printing on tees is the most popular branding technique as it is often more cost effective especially for large non-multicolour logos.

It is best to send your logo to your promotional consultant so they can advise you on the best branding technique for promotional t shirts depending on your target audience, objective and budget.

Getting the right sizes for promotional clothing tops for your staff or team is only confusing if you don’t know how to advise them on how to get the correct measurements. As sizes for all promotional clothing tops might vary, it’s always best to start off by getting a size chart from your promotional clothing distributor. Bear in mind that different people prefer a different fit for different types of tops. For instance, I love a tight fit for printed t-shirts but prefer a looser fit for embroidered polos. My friend on the other hand, loves all her printed t shirts and embroidered polos as tight fitting as possible so she loves getting the kids’ printed t shirts and embroidered polos. Oversize clothing ie. 3XL and above often cost more. Unisex tops are cheaper. However, they have a square cut and are often too big for smaller framed bodies. The perfect fit might not matter so much if the tops are going to be used as promotional giveaways and for one off events unlike if they were to be worn long term for staff members. The best way to get your team or staff the right sizes for tops such as printed t shirts and embroidered polos is to ask them to lay a top (that they’re comfortable in) flat and measure the length from under one armpit to the other armpit in centimetres. This measurement is known as the chest measurement or half chest. They can then match this measurement to measurements on the clothing size chart to see which size is a closer match. See how simple it really is?

We hear it all the time, “We bought too few printed t shirts. We should have printed more. Now we need more printed within the week!”. To prevent yourself from falling into this situation, always buy printed t shirts in bulk and more than what you anticipate as sufficient. This is because printed t shirts are always going to be handy to you whether you’re a small 1-2 person business, a large corporation or a non profit organisation. There are a hundred and one ways you can use printed t shirts to market your brand name. Use them for staff, company events, fundraisers, as a gift with purchase, loyalty programs etc. Bulk buying allows you to get great prices compared to say buying 25 printed tees on one occasion, then 50 then 100 in separate orders. Also, avoid rush job charges which accrue when you fall short of t shirts and need another lot printed within the week.
