Recommendations For Purchasing Your Branded T-Shirts
Comfort, Price, and Usage: Choose the Right Material for Your T-Shirts with Logo
- Cotton: Comfortable, breathable, soft to the touch, and hypoallergenic, cotton is one of the most popular materials for textiles and is ideal for daily wear. However, it’s important to note that it can shrink when washed. Organic cotton is also available, offering greater softness, durability, and resistance to washing. It is grown without chemicals, but its price is higher than conventional cotton.
- Polyester: Durable, wrinkle-resistant, elastic, and quick-drying, polyester is less soft and comfortable than cotton. As such, it is more suited for sportswear.
- Cotton-Polyester Blend: Combines the softness of cotton with the durability of polyester. However, it is not highly breathable and can wrinkle easily.
- RPET: Similar to polyester in durability, resistance, and quick-drying properties, RPET is more breathable and environmentally friendly as it is made from recycled materials. Its cost, however, is higher than more conventional materials.
Combed vs Carded Cotton
Cotton can be processed in different ways, resulting in varying levels of quality and finish.
Carded Cotton: The most affordable option and the lowest quality as the fibres are not combed, leaving a slightly rough texture.
Semi-Combed Cotton: Undergoes a shorter process to remove some impurities and tangles, producing a finer thread. It is softer and more durable than carded cotton but also more expensive.
Combed Cotton: Fully combed to remove short fibres, tangles, and impurities. This is the highest-quality thread, offering superior softness, durability, and less shrinkage.
Mix Sizes in Your Order!
Within each item, you can select the sizes you want for your order. Each model has its own available sizes, but generally, we offer a range that includes XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, and 3XL.
We have a minimum purchase requirement, but it's not necessary to reach this minimum for each size. For example, if the minimum is 10 units and you want that quantity, you could order 2 S, 2 M, 2 L, 2 XL, and 2 XXL.
T-Shirt Weight (GSM)
The fabric weight, measured in grams per square metre (gsm), determines the weight of the fabric but doesn’t solely indicate quality. For example, in cotton, the combing process also plays a role. Fabric weight is particularly useful when choosing promotional t-shirts based on their intended use:
- Lightweight (120-140 gsm): Ideal for warm climates or as a base layer under other clothing. These t-shirts are light and breathable.
- Medium Weight (150-180 gsm): The most common weight for year-round use, offering a balance of lightness and durability.
- Heavyweight (200-220 gsm): Suitable for uniforms or workwear. These are sturdier and more durable.
Printing Options
Once you’ve chosen the material and weight of your printed t-shirt, consider the best printing method for your logo:
- Screen Printing: Affordable for designs with few colours. It has good washing resistance but doesn’t allow for gradients. Ideal for cotton garments.
- Embroidery: Stitches your logo onto the t-shirt with coloured threads, creating a raised effect. Perfect for high-weight garments, with excellent washing resistance and a more formal look. Not recommended for complex logos.
- Screen Transfer: Similar to screen printing, but the design is applied to transfer paper and then pressed onto the fabric with heat. Ideal for small batches as it is cost-effective.
- Digital Transfer: Full-colour printing on transfer paper, applied to the garment. Less durable than other techniques and may deteriorate over time and with washing.
- Sublimation: A durable, resistant marking method allowing full-colour designs but only suitable for white polyester garments.
- DTG (Direct to Garment): Digital printing directly onto the garment, enabling full-colour photo-quality designs. It is durable and high-quality but only suitable for cotton.
Caring for Printed T-Shirts
Specific care instructions depend on the material and weight of the branded t-shirt, but here are some general tips:
· Washing: Use cold water with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach, and wash the garment inside out.
· Drying: Air drying is recommended. If using a tumble dryer, select a low-temperature setting.
· Ironing: Use a low temperature, with the garment turned inside out or a protective cloth over the design.
Certifications for Clothing
Some garments come with certifications depending on their material:
OEKO-TEX: A global standard ensuring that products do not contain harmful levels of chemicals. It also focuses on quality, durability, and reducing environmental impact during production.
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard): Applies to items containing at least 70% organic fibres, ensuring environmentally responsible production.
GRS (Global Recycled Standard): Verifies that a product is made from recycled materials, promoting transparency and a circular economy.
Promotional T-Shirts: A Versatile Option for Any Occasion
Corporate Events and Trade Shows: Ensure your team looks professional and unified while reinforcing brand identity.
Employee Uniforms: Comfortable for sectors like hospitality, retail, or sports, while promoting a cohesive and professional image.
Employee Gifts: Celebrate milestones, anniversaries, or welcome new team members with branded t-shirts, enhancing team pride and belonging.
Promotional Campaigns: A classic promotional gift with practical use, increasing brand visibility whenever worn.
Sports Events: Perfect for marathons, volunteering days, or team-building activities, offering style, comfort, and effective brand promotion.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ordering Branded T-Shirts
What are the printing areas for branded t-shirts?
There are four main printing areas: on the torso, the back, the sleeve, and the chest. Depending on the type of t-shirt, logo, and printing technique, you can print or embroider in certain areas. You’re not limited to just one logo—you could, for example, have one design printed on the back and a different one on the chest for an additional cost. Our team will guide you through the process to ensure the best results.
How will I know what my printed t-shirts will look like?
Once you’ve selected your printed t-shirt, including colour, sizes, and quantities, you can choose the virtual sample option. Send us your logo, and our team will create a virtual sample of the t-shirt design. You’ll receive this within 24 business hours, allowing you to review the design and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it meets your expectations.
Our team will also assist with your order, answering any questions about the products or the purchasing process.
Do you offer sports t-shirts?
Yes! Visit our promotional performance t-shirts section, where you’ll find polyester models, breathable fabrics, and eco-friendly materials. Like other items in this category, these t-shirts offer extensive printing areas and techniques.
If you’re looking for other types of performance clothing, we also have branded polos with similar features. For a complete sports package, consider browsing our range of branded water bottles.
Why gift promotional t-shirts?
Using a t-shirt as a promotional tool is highly effective due to their popularity. On one hand, their large branding area and daily use ensure your logo gains more visibility compared to other gifts, much like other branded items such as promotional caps. On the other hand, they have a high perceived value as a gift. These garments create a sense of belonging to a group or community, as wearing them shows the wearer identifies with the brand.
Additionally, their versatility makes them ideal for customer loyalty rewards or as team uniforms (alongside other products like branded lanyards). They are also available at an affordable price.
What types of promotional t-shirts do you sell?
In this category, you’ll find various types of t-shirts with logo, allowing you to customise them with your logo in different positions, sizes, and with multiple branding techniques. We offer short-sleeved, long-sleeved, and sleeveless options, depending on the season when they’ll be distributed.
You’ll find models with round necks, V-necks, and different fits to suit individual preferences. We also have a wide range of colours to help you find the perfect shade for your brand image. Additionally, we offer eco-friendly models made from organic cotton or recycled polyester for companies committed to environmental sustainability.
How much does it cost to print a logo on a t-shirt?
The two biggest factors influencing the cost of a t-shirt are its weight (gsm) and the printing method. A budget-friendly option would be a 100 gsm t-shirt with one-colour screen printing. This is an excellent choice for reaching a broad audience with a limited budget, though these lighter garments may wear out faster.
For instance, if you choose the this model, one of our best-sellers, with a one-colour logo and 100 units, the cost per t-shirt is £4.29.
