Printing shirt is one of the most inexpensive ways of garnering publicity. It is a product that creates a brand awareness of your company just right in front of your potential clients. You are not only able to deliver the message via printing shirt, but you can also create the branding for your company. Before printing a shirt, what should you consider?
Materials of the Fabric
The very first element to consider is the materials of the fabric for your shirt printing. This will depend on the purpose of the shirt printing. Ask yourself, “Who is going to wear the shirt? Why do you print the shirt?”
If you are printing the shirt for a sports event by your company, the quick-dry, light wear, and breathable materials should be your first choice. Different materials serve different purposes.
For instance, cotton is suitable for everyday wear. Gaberdine material is best for workwear, overcoats, and suits. Fleece is perfect for outerwear and anything cosy, like a hoodie. Define your purposes on printing the shirt and you will be able to find the most suitable materials for that.
Colour/Design
Next element you will need to consider is colour and design. Research has shown that people perceive others based on the colour of the clothes they are wearing. This reflects on the uniform of police whereby blue symbolizes trust and loyalty with a calming effect. Colour brings out messages. Black inspires confidence the most. Red associates with passion and love. If you want to be neutral, choose cream-white or off-white.
Size
When you are organizing an event for the public or your guests, size matters. You need to consider the general size of your target audiences and guests. Other than that, the scale and size of the design also must be considered. Some common placements of designs are front and back centre, sleeve, front pocket and top back centre.
To check whether the design scale is correct for your shirt, this is one tip that you can do: print out the design on A4 paper and place it on the shirt. You can see whether the design is balanced for the shirt.
Gender
Men and women are always different. This applies to shirt printing as well. It is not only about different sizing but also body shape. The sleeves, hips, chest and waist areas are all quite different between men and women.
Men’s sleeves always longer than women’s and it can extend until the elbow. Women’s shirt at the hip area has a slight flaring. For chest area, this can be easily seen because of the different body shape.
On the other hand, women have a narrower waist and the cutting of the shirt can be different from men’s shirt. Otherwise, you can choose to have a unisex design of shirt if you do not want to bother about the shape.
After all these considerations, the one last thing you need to consider is reachable of the printing company. T-shirt printing online in Singapore is more convenient compared to an offline shop.
