5 Crazy Things You Can Print Your Logo On

One of the most effective ways to get people to notice your company is to print your logo on merchandise.

Printing your logo on a hand sanitizer is a good idea to get people’s attentions. In trade shows, where everyone is shaking hands or touching merchandise, people want to wash their hands every once in a while. Now they can, and what is better, every time they pick up the sanitizer they will see your logo.

2. Trampoline

 

One of the most unique ways to get your logo seen at an event or party is to have it printed on a trampoline. Not only will everyone who uses see it, but they will definitely enjoy the touch of humor. The best logos for trampolines are those that are colorful and rely more on images than letters.

Promote Your Business by Giving Away Free T-Shirts


In today’s fast paced environment, every business is experimenting with the latest social media techniques to help them promote their brand. However, sometimes an old-school approach can be extremely successful. Passing out custom T-shirts that display your logo or other business-related message can be a wonderful way to garner new clients.

Decide on a Design

Before you place your bulk T-shirt order, we suggest you decide on some of the specifics—most importantly, your design. You can use your business logo; however, if you are a relatively new business with a logo that does not clearly communicate the service or product you are promoting, you may find that other options are more effective. Possibly a witty phrase on the front with the business name on the back would be a good choice for a kitschy new shop. Details should be directed toward the target audience.

Information is Effective Advertising

Eye-catching design is important, but you also need to be informative. If someone sees your T-shirt, you want them to be able to reach out to you if they are interested in your product or service. Therefore, the screen printing should incorporate a phone number or web address into the design. We also suggest making sure it can be easily read. In other words, if you have hot pink lettering on a red T-shirt, it will definitely catch people’s attention, but what good will it do if they have no idea how to access any information?

Select a High-Quality Garment

Remember, when you select the T-shirts that you are going to distribute—whether consciously or sub-consciously—potential clients will associate the quality of the garment with the quality of your business. That is why we recommend choosing the highest-quality T-shirt you can afford for the screen printing project. Furthermore, if you choose cheaply made T-shirts, they may shrink extensively—ending up in the bottom of a drawer instead of being the walking billboards they were designed to be.

Distribution is Key

No matter how well you design your T-shirts, they will not serve the purpose of furthering your brand if the right people do not see them. Therefore, we suggest you distribute them to current customers who will wear them with pride amongst potential customers. For instance, if you offer a free T-shirt with a purchase of a certain amount, you will be distributing to an audience that will be able to tell others something about your business. Satisfied customers are, after all, your greatest resource for referrals.

Miscellaneous Tips

  • Make sure you order a correct assortment of sizes for your clientele
  • Keep your design simple—if it is too complicated, your message may get lost
  • Order enough—you do not want to end up with disappointed customers
  • Advertise the giveaway ahead of time to get the most mileage out of it
  • Consider making it an annual event—possibly in the spring when everyone cannot wait to wear T-shirts as the weather warms up
  •  
No matter what type of business you have, high-quality, screen-printed T-shirts are a great way to promote your brand without breaking the bank!

4 Major Advantages of Screen Printing



If you're looking to create a shirt for a loved one or simply want to make shirts for the upcoming company picnic, one of the best ways to do so is to utilize the power of screen printing. It not only looks great on a variety of different types of materials, but it comes with several distinct advantages in comparison to other methods.

1. Durability


There is nothing worse than buying a shirt and then having its logo or picture begin to fade after it has been run through the washing machine a couple of times. This happens because many companies use cheap, cost-effective imprinting methods that don’t hold up well under duress. Screen printing puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the ink, which forces it to integrate straight into the fabric. This results in a product that has incredibly durable graphics and will look brand new for years.

2. Size Adjustment


Many people think it is incredibly easy to put a couple of pictures or logos on some shirts, but if you don't have the proper equipment or enough experience, you can easily mess up the design, especially in regards to its size. Screen printing can easily allow images to be scaled to the exact size that you want. Whether you want a logo of your company across the entire back of the shirt or want a small logo in the corner of the front of the shirt, it can easily be done with screen printing.

3. Wide Range of Options


Screen printing can be done on shirts, banners, hats, and even regular posters! This means it is a fantastic option for businesses that are looking to start a new marketing campaign, as well as students who are looking to create shirts for their sports team. You'll be hard pressed to find another method that can easily accommodate such a wide range of materials.

4. Vibrant Colors


As stated earlier, screen printing is done by putting a high amount of pressure onto ink so it can be deeply imprinted into fabrics. This not only creates products that are durable, but it also allows the colors to be incredibly beautiful and vibrant. Screen printing also allows for greater ink thickness, which means more color pigments can be applied to the fabric. The end result is a colorful product that will be sure to look beautiful for a long time!

4 Things You Need to Place Your Order for Screen Printing

Whether you’re trying to order uniforms for a Little League team or trying to create a family reunion keepsake, it’s easy to get lost among all your options and be unsure of what you need to make an order. The following are the four things you always need to know before you can make a successful screen printing order!

1. Artwork

While it may seem like a no-brainer, you’ve got to have you artwork picked out! If you’re providing your own artwork or using a provided design, the company you’re ordering from needs to know. Make sure any designs your provide will translate well once they’ve been screened on.

2. Apparel

Companies often allow you to order several types of apparel at once with your order. While you may want to please everyone, the costs of using different brands and styles can add up. Choosing one option could make it less expensive, but no matter how many styles you choose—make sure you have the correct number! No one wants to come up short or have too many!

3. Deadline

When you have a date you need your printed items by, make sure you let the company you’re using know! Most companies will tell you a likely turnaround time, but if you have an event coming up then there’s no reason to risk it! Also keep in mind that it takes time to process you order, complete your order, and then have it shipped to you.

4. Shipping

Shipping times and prices can sometimes seem like your enemy. You think you have the total figured out and then you get hit in the face by a shipping fee. Always make sure you have calculated the shipping fee in advance so you’re not taken by surprise. This is an especially good idea if you’re splitting the cost of the order with someone else.

Never forget that shipping times are not always accurate. Give yourself plenty of time to receive your order before the date of your event.

Don’t Forget!

By keeping these four things in mind before you order, you’ll know you have everything sorted out by the time you place your order. While these steps may seem simple, they can often be forgotten in the excitement of designing your own custom apparel. Regardless of what you are ordering, we hope you find exactly what you’re looking for!
