A quick guide to sourcing Custom Printed Apparel
Before you begin your search, here are a few things to consider when sourcing shirts for custom printing because getting the right look and feel for your project should be a seamless experience!
Demographic:
When purchasing shirts for your team or retail business, starting with simple demographic data will help you narrow your search. Who are you serving? What is most important to them, value or quality? Do they prefer a classic style or something more young and edgy? Are they minimalists and loathe flashy logos or are they maximalists that prefer something artsy?
Fit:
A mature demographic may prefer a more relaxed, heavier weight fit while a millennial might prefer a poly-cotton blend with a vintage feel.
Color:
Color preferences vary based on location, demographics, industry and your brand’s color palette. However, it is helpful to consider what emotions you are trying to convey by using color psychology. For example, if you are buying t-shirts for a smoothie business, a sorbet pink, lemon yellow or a zesty green color would convey a sense of “freshness”.
Style:
Are you buying for a corporate event? Then you may prefer a crisp polo over a basic t-shirt but perhaps the comfort of a t-shirt with a polished look is more your thing! With 1000’s of options on the market, we are here to help you find the perfect style for the occasion.
