The popularity of customized hoodies has grown over the years. As casual work attire becomes more common across organizations, hoodies are no longer an attire that is only exclusive to students on campus. Teams and companies are coming up with their personalized team hoodies to create a sense of togetherness as well. Hoodies are comfortable, fashionable, and they are great for teams to wear together to create a young and fun atmosphere. Whether you are looking to print custom hoodies for your campus buddies or colleagues, these are the top five things to figure out before you proceed:
1. Hoodie Style
First thing first, which hoodie styles are you looking to customize? There are many different types of hoodies available in the market, including full-zip hoodies, quarter-zip hoodies, pullover hoodies, v-neck hoodies and more. The names of these hoodies are self-explanatory, they are different in terms of the way you wear them. There are mainly two popular types of hoodies that people love to customize: one is a pullover, the other is a zip-up hoodie. Both have their own pros and cons, so it really depends on your personal preference and purpose for the hoodies.
For zip-up hoodies, you can have more versatile ways to wear them, such as layering them with other clothing to create different styles. Furthermore, you can also control your body temperature by adjusting the zipper. However, with a zip-up hoodie, you’ll have restrictions on your design as you can’t print across the zipper. The durability of your hoodie is also highly depending on the zip, as zippers can break, or become distorted. Meanwhile, a pullover hoodie gives you more warmth, and more flexibility in terms of design placement as it is easy for you to print across the chest area. However, you can’t control your temperature with a pullover hoodie, you can either have it on or take it off. If you would like to enjoy the same benefits of a pullover hoodie but prefer one without a hood, a pullover sweater is a great choice.
2. Fabric
Like any other customizable attire, hoodies are made of various types of fabrics or a blend of them. Fleece is the softest and the most popular fabric choice for hoodies due to its insulating feature and more benefits. Fleece keeps you warm by maintaining warm air around your skin and preventing cold air from passing through the fabric. Fleece is also hydrophobic in nature, which means it can remain its insulating ability even when it is wet. In terms of convenience, fleece is easy to clean with a washing machine and dries quickly.
Being super soft and excellent in keeping you warm, fleece can be made from various materials. A classic option would be a 100% cotton hoodie. Cotton hoodies are warm yet breathable. Then there’s the 100% polyester hoodie, which has high moisture-wicking performance. Go for a fabric blend of 50% polyester and 50% cotton to enjoy the best of both worlds.
3. Colour
The colour of your fabric plays a big role in determining the overall feeling of your hoodie. More neutral colours like blue and white creates a calm and reserved style. If you want a hoodie that matches the youthful energy of your team, go for bright colours like red. Dark colours like dark blue can really make your company logo and tagline stand out, and it goes well with any light-colored images and words too. Meanwhile, white hoodies are clean and versatile enough to match with images and text of any other colours. If you like red colour, consider having white colour text on your hoodie for a sharp and stylish look. Be sure to look for a supplier that offers high quality hoodies with the colours holding up well over time.
4. Design Placement
If you want to get creative and have as much space as possible to play around with your design, it is recommended that you opt for a hoodie without zip. Check with your printing supplier on the print locations available and the size of these print areas. Examples of print locations include full front, full back, and on the pocket. You can check if other print locations such as sleeves, hood, or wrists are available as well.
If you are ordering custom hoodies for your company, you can place your company logo and tagline on a clear and visible area, such as around the chest area, or on the sleeves. Make sure the colour of the fabric and design matches each other and does not override one another. That said, do know that the larger your print area, the higher the printing cost. So make smart choices with your design placement, and choose a printing supplier with transparent price.
5. Size
When deciding the size of your custom hoodies, think about who you are actually designing them for. If there are people in your group that require unique sizes such as XXS, XS, 2XL, or 3XL, check with your hoodie printing supplier to see if they have these sizes available. Another factor to consider at this stage is the style you are going for. Do you want your hoodies to be more fitting or loose? Oversized hoodies are trending big right now, if you are going for the oversized look, you can go with unisex hoodies and order larger sizes. To get an accurate number of each size you need to order, get a hoodie size chart that clearly states the measurements of shoulder, chest, body, and sleeve length from the supplier, and let your team members decide for themselves.
