It’s that time of year again where everyone is going back to school and work is in full-gear again. Thankfully, we all have a swiftly approaching long weekend to look forward to. Labor weekend is a holiday that is celebrated across the entire United States. Schools are out for the day, most all businesses are closed or at very least have abbreviated hours, and everyone is getting together to relax, grill out, and celebrate. And some people are ordering their cheap custom tees to celebrate the occasion.

Here’s a funny question: do you know why we celebrate Labor Day Weekend? What is the real meaning of Labor Day? Many of us don’t even know the meaning of a holiday that we look forward to having off, year after year. So why do we celebrate Labor Day?

The History of Labor Day

As you may well know, Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday of every September. What you may not know is the reason that we celebrate Labor Day.  The holiday is to celebrate and commemorate the American labor movement, and everything that they have done to contribute to the strength, prosperity, and longevity of this country. It is considered the unofficial end of summer across the country, and is nationally recognized as a federal holiday.

In the early 19th century, the trade movements and labor unions in the United States were growing rapidly. Eventually, the labor union members suggested to the government that we have a national holiday to celebrate all of this country’s workforce The holiday was then promoted by the Knights of Labor and the Central Labor Union. They organized their first celebratory parade in 1887. Though, Oregon was actually the first state to adopt it as a holiday, other states quickly climbed on board. By 1894, 30 states had already accepted labor day as a recognized holiday.

To honor or work force and all of the hard work that you have put in this year, why not take this opportunity to celebrate? On Labor, many Americans celebrate by

- Having friends and family over to celebrate

- Grilling hamburgers and hot dogs

- Enjoying the end of the summer weather

- Making memories and enjoying each other’s company

Like you, we have made lots of wonderful memories in Labor Days past too. What better way to make that memory even greater by designing and printing your own, totally personalized Labor Day t-shirt.

Getting Great T-shirts to Celebrate Labor Day

One of the ways that you can make sure that you have the most fun this labor day weekend is getting fun, customized t-shirts for you, your friends, and your family to celebrate the holiday weekend. There’s no better way to make a fun memory and end your summer with a bang than having your own personalized shirts that everyone can wear for your labor day weekend party. With our design and printing services, you can get your entire party the perfect, comfortable, colorful shirt for celebrating the end of summer.

Small or Large Batch

Doesn’t t-shirt printing get expensive though? And don’t I have to order t-shirts in large batches in order to make it work?

The answer to both of those questions is no. With us, you can order shirts that are perfect for smaller parties or small printing runs. We offer all of our customers affordable options, even if you just want to print one shirt, or a couple of dozen for your labor day weekend party. If you want to design, order, and print a larger batch too, you are still going to get really quality t-hirts at a really affordable price

Choosing Your Shirt Type

Who are you making shirts for? What kind of shirts do you want to get for yourself and everyone?

We offer a variety of t-shirt styles from tank tops and regular tees to printed polos, baseball shirts, and hoodies. In the first piece of our process for designing your own shirts, choose the kinds of shirts or upper-body wear that you would like for your Labor Day party to get started.

We also offer different fabric qualities. You can go as simple as you want with your shirts, or you get the top tier in comfort and design, and anything in between. You get to choose.

What Colors Will You Use

Are you ready for the summer camp season? Campers and staffers love getting awesome t-shirts to commemorate their experience. And now is the time to plan for your unforgettable summer camp t-shirts. Our team can help you to develop a t-shirt design to wow your campers and build memories that will last for the rest of their lives. Let’s get started on making your summer camp t-shirts special!

Slogans to Inspire Memories From a Special T-Shirt

One of the best parts of creating t-shirts for summer camps is coming up with fun designs and slogans.

Define a Mission

These slogans can be a spin on the camp’s mission, the theme of the year or even specific activities done at the camp. A good slogan can really make or break a summer camp t-shirt.

Fabrics That Work With Your Design

Summer camps are often full of fun activities like swimming, hiking and games. Plus, lots of hot weather! That is why it is important to choose a material that is appropriate for the climate.

Breathable and Comfortable

We recommend using 100% cotton t-shirts when making your design. The fabric is breathable in any climate and type of weather, and can stand damp conditions. The material is also very easy to work with when adding artwork. Another option is moisture wicking, polyester shirts. Moisture-wicking polyester and poly blends are durable and excellent for fitness activities keeping your campers cool in hot weather. Polyester fabric shirts do have some limitations so it is important to discuss your design with us to make sure it will work. Let us help you create a custom masterpiece and choose the right fabric.

Choosing the Right Colors

The best colors for summer camp t-shirts are bright ones that stand out and memorable. Most campers do not have a bright color t-shirts in their closets so they are likely to keep and wear their summer camp shirt year round.

Be Seen

Vibrant colors are also helpful as campers participate in activities in or near the water and wooded areas. It makes them easy to identify as they are walking alone or in groups.

Color and Design That Pops

Another consideration for designing t-shirts for summer camps is ensuring that the color of the shirt and design match. For example, if you use a bright blue t-shirt, it is unlikely you will want to use blue font and art.

Test It Out

Make sure you add a test layer on your art so you have a good feel for what your text and image will like look on the final design.

Building Friendships through Unique Tees

A fun activity you can do with camp t-shirts is to help pals commemorate their time together. You can leave space for a wearable memory book so campers can write their summer camp memories, messages and well wishes with one another using fabric markers.

Unforgettable

You can also get them involved with a space for painted hand prints - it is certainly a design that they will never forget!

Letting Campers Design Tees

Want to engage campers? Ahead of their camp experience, invite them to participate in a t-shirt design contest.

What About a Fundraiser?

Send them sheets with instructions ahead of camp to return. Upload the images to a website or social media page, and let campers and their families vote on the t-shirt design they like the most. This could also be a fundraising opportunity for campers!

Giving Away Tee Shirts for Camp Events

One of the best things a summer camp can do is to share t-shirts with its campers and counselors to commemorate their experience.

Highlight Certain Activities

You can also get extra shirts specific to activities to highlight special events such as the fishing club, gaming crew and hiking team!

Cost Savings

An ideal way to save on costs when purchasing camp t-shirts is to buy a bulk order of shirts. You can also wait to print until you are ready so you don’t use more than you need.

Get a Quote 

Whether you have a small order of a dozen or a very large order of 1,000, we have a price quote system that can help you find the best option and price for your order.

Let’s Enjoy Summer

Summer camp is a time of learning, bonding and gaining new skills to bring back to the day-to-day. It should be a memorable experience and so should the attire each camper wears.

Promotional Memories

Choose a shirt and design that your campers will love year-round and they’ll promote your camp wherever they go.

We hope this guide helped you in your quest to design the best summer camp t-shirt. We want you to be satisfied with the end result.

T-shirts go beyond a pairing with denim jeans. For more than sixty years, they have become a wardrobe staple for people of all ages from musicians to machinists. T-shirts make the people who wear them advertisements for your business, event or other cause. The best part is that they are mobile and sharing your message everywhere they go with the added benefit of the endorsement of the wearer. T-shirts combine creativity and fashion, and are a great way to increase your company’s brand recognition. And you can get the brand noticed better with  quality custom design tees.

We frequently get questions like, “What makes a custom t-shirt design get noticed?” Our customers want to know how to create a good design that is desired by their target audience, meets their budget and arrives on-time. T-shirt design does not have to be confusing and that’s why we compiled some tips to help you better understand what your customers want while promoting your brand.

Representing Your Brand or Cause

The graphic on your t-shirt is what stands out and that’s why you want it to represent your company, brand or organization well. Deciding on and creating a good graphic for your t-shirt takes careful planning. Here are some considerations you may want to make as you plan:

Your Custom Design Tees Are Art Canvases

If you think of your t-shirt as a canvas, then the graphic you put on it is art. Creating a beautiful and unique t-shirt design can attract the eye of others who see it. Using beyond standard rectangular imprint area may increase cost a bit, but can create a design that people are not used to seeing on a t-shirt.

Your Tee is a Walking Advertisement

Your shirt’s design can attract new customers. That’s another reason why it is important to have t-shirt art that is appealing and engaging. Your customers will be your living billboard to promote your product, service, event or other activity.

T-Shirt Styles Change Based on Your Audience

There are times when your t-shirt will require a another material (besides cotton) or style to meet your audience’s needs. People attending a rock concert and those participating in a road race have different needs. Make sure you create a t-shirt design that addresses those needs.

Unique Custom Design Tees Stand Out from the Crowd

If you want your customer to wear your t-shirt over and over again, rather than using it as another paint shirt, you need to ensure that the design is unique and stylish. You can even customize the style to demographics: male, female, children, seniors. Different messages, weights and even availability for youth can help to carry your message further. Check out these great t-shirt designs for cat lovers.

Design Versus Budget

So you know that you need a design that stands out, but you also need to pay attention to your limitations in print, timeline and budget. After you have created the perfect design, the last thing you want to do is go over budget or have a late order! It is best to take those needs into considerations as you plan your design. Here are some t-shirt design ideas to help you to stay on plan:

Keep it Simple

Minimizing your design’s color, lines and texture can help to keep your budget under control when it is time to print. Images, color gradients and detailed art are complex. The more complex a design is, the more time it will take to print and the higher your cost will be. Keep the design clean and solid.

Color Matters

Choosing a one-color over a four-color can reduce cost - although that will not work with every design. A one-color option can still work well when paired with a unique t-shirt color.

Dare to Be Bold

A design with a bold outline helps your design to stand out and catch the eye of the wearer, as well as others who see it. You want your t-shirt design to stand out - this is an excellent way to do it!

Pay Attention to Sizing

Imprint size for a 4X shirt is not the same as a L, nor is it the same for a women’s large or a child’s large. Design your t-shirt to fit the imprint size of all sizes you will order. Make sure you adjust your designs accordingly based on the size of the t-shirt.

A t-shirt gets noticed when you pay attention to design and matters related to printing on time. Whether it is a funny message or an engaging design, your t-shirt will stand out in the crowd when you focus on imagination and uniqueness. Regardless, it is important to remember the more practical elements to consider.

There is no drink that better represents summer than a pina colada. The combination of coconut, pineapple and rum is a great way to relax on a summer day. Whether you live in a tropical climate or the sun seems to be hiding all summer, you can imagine that you are relaxing on the beach as you enjoy an ice cold pina colada. Cheap custom tees are a perfect way to memorialize summer moments and express your passion for pina coladas.

Ways to Celebrate

If you are already a fan of pina coladas, now is a great time to show your love for these drinks. If you are not already a fan, now is the time to gain an appreciation for pina coladas. There are a number of ways you can do this.

Drinks

Of course, the most obvious way to enjoy yourself is to drink a pina colada. There are likely bars, restaurants or cafes near your home where you can get one, but you can also make them at home. Use your favorite recipe, or try this pina colada recipe:

1 ½ cups ice 1 ½ ounces of white rum

½ cup frozen diced pineapple 1 ounce dark rum

2 ounces pineapple juice pineapple slices

2 ounces Coco Lopez coconut cream

Combine ice, frozen pineapple, pineapple juice, coconut cream and both rums in a blender until smooth and frosty. Pour into two glasses. Garnish with pineapple slices.

Other Treats

Many people enjoy the taste of pina colada in more than just a drink. If you are looking for a treat that allows you to enjoy the wonderful combination of pineapple and coconut but you want a non-alcoholic option, you may want to consider pina colada Jelly Belly jelly beans. You could also enjoy a pina colada snow cone. Many stores also sell pina colada lollipops. Have a few friends over. Serve pina coladas, and include the lollipops for the children and other people who may prefer the candy version.

Non-Food Fun

If you like fun scents in your home, burn pina colada candles or use pina colada air fresheners in your home. If you are hosting a party, having the scent in your home will add to the fun of the festivities.


Pina Colada T-Shirts

Another great way to celebrate is with a custom-designed pina colada t-shirt. You could also create a cheap custom tee that celebrates the beverage or the flavor. One great thing about a pina colada t-shirt is that it can be worn throughout the year. Wear it throughout the summer. If you live in a colder climate, wearing your pina colada tee in the middle of the winter will be a great way to remind you that summer will eventually come back.  Custom tees are also a wonderful way to advertise a restaurant or bar that is known for its frosty and refreshing summer pina coladas.

Places to Like Pina Coladas

Sipping a pina colada is almost like a mini getaway. While you can appreciate one right in your backyard, it's fun to take your pina colada quest on the road. If you are looking for a great place to get pina coladas in general, there are wonderful places to get pina coladas in some of our nation’s largest cities.

New York City

In a city as large as New York City, you are sure to find several great places to get a pina colada. One place, Kingston Hall, gives you your drink in a real coconut. They also include an extra shot of pina colada, which you can add to your drink as you want. Mother of Pearl, in East Village, also has customers praising the bar’s pina coladas. While many of the places that have great pina coladas are cocktail bars, New York City also has many places that serve great pina coladas even though the place is primarily a restaurant.

Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a great place to visit if you are looking for great pina coladas. There are places throughout the city to get high quality pina coladas. For example, Velvet Margarita is in Hollywood. Tiki-Ti Cocktail Lounge is in Los Feliz. Preax & Proper is downtown. No matter where you are in the city, there is sure to be a great place to get a pina colada.

Honolulu

No list of great pina coladas would be complete without mentioning Honolulu. As would be expected in a tropical climate, many of the top places for pina coladas in Honolulu have tropical sounding names. These include Cuckoo Coconuts Waikiki, Tiki’s Grill & Bar, Mai Tai Bar and The Beach Bar. Other places, such as Alan Wong’s Restaurant, have less exotic sounding names but still serve great pina coladas. One customer on Yelp even said Alan Wong’s Restaurant had the best pina coladas.

Nashville TN

The Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville TN is known for its award-winning BBQ and tasty cocktails, including pina coladas. They encourage everyone to forget the world outside and get lost. Partiers are part of the show, not the audience, and are welcomed to dance the line rather than walk it. It's an ideal place to imbibe and have a good time. There are plenty of other party-minded places in Nashville where you can dance and enjoy your favorite cocktail.

Whether you own one cat, several cats or you simply wish you had a cat, if you are a cat lover, having a custom-designed cat t-shirt is one great way to show your love of your cat or of cats in general. As a cat lover, you have several options for your cheap custom tees.

Support a Cause

If you love cats, you likely also feel strongly about protecting and supporting cats. One of the best ways you can show your support for cat causes is to get custom-designed t-shirts that expresses your support for the cause.

No-Kill Shelters

As a cat lover, you likely believe that every cat should have an opportunity at a good loving home. If there is a no-kill shelter near your home, your custom-made t-shirts can act as advertisement for that shelter. If there is not a no-kill shelter near your home, your t-shirts can demonstrate support for building one or outrage at not having one. To encourage people to adopt animals from the shelter, you may even want to include a telephone number and address on your t-shirts.

Spay and Neutering

Unfortunately, there are more cats than there are homes for them. This results in many homeless cats. To help increase awareness of this problem and to encourage other cat owners to have their cats spayed or neutered create, custom-designed tees demonstrating your support for spaying and neutering.

Cat Competitions

You can also create custom-designed cat shirts to raise money for cat competitions, such as a feline agility competition. If your cat is participating in a cat competition, get special shirts designed for you, your family and your friends to show support for your cat as well as to show support for the competition in general. Everyone can wear their shirts to the competition. If you are organizing a cat competition, you could also sell or give away shirts at the competition. If you sell the shirts, the money you raise could go to a cat cause, such as to help keep your local no-kill shelter running.

Special Cat

Some people have a special cat in their lives that they want to honor. A customized tee is a great way to do this.

Cat Memorial

Perhaps your feline friend has passed on, and you want to honor your beloved pet by getting a tee with your cat’s face on it. You could do one large photo of your cat, or you could do several smaller pictures. Your pet was likely loved by many people, so you can give cat memorial tees to other family members and friends who also miss your feline friend.

Current Pet

If you are a proud cat parent, you likely love to show others pictures of your cat. Instead of pulling those pictures out of your wallet, get the picture or pictures on your shirt. If you have multiple cats, get a shirt with a picture of all your cats, or dedicate one shirt to a picture or pictures of each cat.

Cat in Need of Home

Even if you love cats, you likely cannot keep every stray. As you find a stray cat that you temporarily welcome into your home or that a friend cares for temporarily, you can create custom t-shirts to let others know about the cat who needs a home. Wear your own shirt, and give the tee out to other cat lovers, encouraging them to also support getting the cat a permanent home.

Funny Tees

Cats can be funny animals, and t-shirts are a great place to share this humor with others.

Puns and Jokes

There are many opportunities for puns or jokes involving cats. Come up with your own puns and jokes, or borrow them from other people. These puns or jokes can be inspired by a picture of your cat or another cat, or you can get your pun or joke inspiration somewhere else.

Funny Pictures

Sometimes no words are necessary to create a funny cat tee. For example, while captions sometimes accompany the pictures, much of the Grumpy Cat phenomenon is simply based upon pictures of the cat’s grumpy-looking facial expression.

Cartoon Cats

Many cat lovers also have a favorite cartoon cat. It is important to be careful about copyright infringement when it comes to putting your favorite cartoon cat on a t-shirt. If you are using it for your own purposes, such as just for you and your family members, you may be covered under fair use law, but you cannot sell shirts with copyrighted cartoon cats on them.

Be Creative

Of course, these are just a few of the ideas for custom-designed tees for cat lover. We encourage you to come up with your own ideas for showing your love for cats on your t-shirt. Takehold Printing can help make your vision become a realty on cheap custom tees you are sure to treasure!

This is no beauty pageant - it’s an ugly T-shirt competition! Every year, churches, corporate departments, businesses and non-profit organizations hold ugly shirt competitions for fun or fundraising. While this activity is unattractive, it is full of spirit no matter the time of year. And designing funny custom tees for ugly shirt competitions is the best way to win! Whether you are looking for office bragging rights or are trying to raise money for a good cause here are some tips to help you with your ugly T-shirt competition.

What is an ugly T-shirt competition? 

An ugly shirt competition is a contest in which participants attempt to make a t-shirt as ugly as possible, usually a throwback to a retro style, or poor color and pattern combinations. The winner of an ugly T-shirt competition generally receives a prize of varying value, but predominately the pride of knowing they are the ugliest. One of the most popular type of ugly shirt competition is the ugly Christmas sweater contest.

Where to host your ugly T-shirt contest

One of the best ways to hold an ugly T-shirt competition is to include within another event - a business after hours, a street festival, a 5k event, a church function or even just an evening out on the town. Hosting your ugly shirt competition as a part of another event can add to your already fun and engaging activities. You can even uglify the competition area with ugly foods and decorations. And the clearance section of a craft or retail store is a great place to find gaudy decorations for the event.

Seeking inspiration

Your goal is to win, and to do that you must seek out inspiration all around you. When designing funny custom tees for ugly shirt competitions, check out websites that sell ugly shirts and ugly sweaters, look at resell websites like eBay, take a trip to a local thrift store or even raid your closet to help you find the best, and ugliest, materials for your upcoming contest.

Defining the rules

When choosing the rules and regulations for ugly shirt competitions, you can look to the plethora of existing social games as a guide. The most important guideline for defining and designing your contest is to keep it simple. You can establish criteria, collect votes on ballot sheets or simply select a winner based on applause. A smart way to do it is to establish five sets of criteria for your judges including humor, creativity, crafting skill, presentation and uniqueness. These criteria provide a sound set of qualitative judgment to help you run a fair competition.

Incorporating fundraising

If you wish to include fundraising in your ugly shirt competition, one of the best ways to do so is to have team sponsor one shirt. The team will get support from friends and family to help create the ugliest sweater. Each team member is responsible for supporting the fundraising for their team overall. In the case of fundraising, you may want to add a sixth category to your competition to include their success at raising money. All proceeds raised by each team will support the non-profit or other cause. The winning team overall gets special recognition for their efforts. Take it to the next level by ordering custom-designed ugly T-shirts for your team.

The ugliest runway of the year

Step aside New York Fashion Week, ugly shirt competitions are taking over the runway at an upcoming special event! Set up an ugly runway lined with the participants adoring fans and end at a table for the judges. Once you have all of your participants prepared, let each one walk the runway showing as much personality as possible - presentation is important in an ugly shirt competition and the attendees will love it. Take it to the limit by creating a real runway with lighting to showcase your ugly T-shirts and ugly T-shirt models.

Awarding the ugliest

After you have determined your winner based on the criteria established for the competition, it is time to hand out prizes. You can honor the winners with ugly necklaces on top of an Olympic-style podium. You can give them custom certificate so they can place this great honor in a frame to cherish forever. You can also give away ugly-themed prizes. Your awards do not need to be expensive, just memorable and fun.

Designing funny custom tees for ugly shirt competitions is easy

Design t-shirts with a basic event theme, and leave space for your participants to design. Then they can find materials online, in stores, at home, or at thrift shop or rummage sales to help them build the ugliest t-shirt ever. All of your participants will have a memorable t-shirt to keep.

Summer is getting into full swing, and it’s time to consider how to celebrate your summer food business or event. Why not make a custom t-shirt to celebrate summer foods? Cheap custom T-shirts add visibility to your community activities and let you create a simple way to convey your business and services to everyone you come into contact with. All of this happens without even saying a word. Here are some ideas to get you started with custom summer T-shirt designs.

Barbecue Favorites

Highlight your barbecue restaurant or something quirky with a barbecue theme that brings attention to your business during the summer months. Some grocery stores, for example, host onsite barbecue events that draw attention and business to their store. Tees that display info about a summer barbecue make people notice your brand and garner attention for the event you’re hosting. Include your group’s information, depending on your event type, and let people know you’re a part of the summer’s hottest barbecue event.

Useful and Fun Diagrams

Instead of emblazoning your barbecue tees strictly with information about your company or event, use the shirt fronts as a canvas for including some kind of humorous or useful animal diagram. For example, you can include a picture of a cow with the cuts labeled as they might be in a butcher’s directory. This is a unique approach to the barbecue aesthetic and to give tees a usefulness beyond your event itself. Consider replacing the names of the cuts with something humorous.

Hot Dog and Other Eating Contests

If you’re hosting a hot dog eating contest or other summertime eating extravaganza, use custom T-shirts to spread the word. Set up employees with custom tees to walk the boardwalk in front of the venue where you host the eating contest. This helps generate crowd interest and commitment alongside flyers and handouts.

Standard Swag

At the event itself, give participants an exclusive T-shirt that features the name of your event and any sponsor information. T-shirt giveaways are standard swag for events like this, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to give your participants a little memento to remember the day.

Sweet, Sweet Summertime Favorites

Milkshakes, ice cream cones, and french fries are all classic summertime boardwalk staples. All of these are really popular right now, and totally Instagram-worthy. Hop onto the trend with a custom summer cuisine tee that has a cool picture of an ice cream cone or a sublimated pattern featuring over-the-top milkshakes. Get customers to pour into your establishment for the T-shirt, but stay for the food.

Featuring Summer Cuisine

Use these summer favorites to advertise all kinds of businesses, from ice cream shoppes to pizza parlors. Work with a designer or browse popular Instagram hashtags featuring summer foods to find inspiration for your summer food shirt design.

Healthy Summertime Essentials

Of course, summer is hardly the time for indulgences alone. With summer comes the amazing crop of natural bounty, including fresh fruits and vegetables. If you’re selling your products at the farmer’s market or a health-centric event, use summertime foods to garner attention for the products that you offer.

Get Fresh and Healthy Tees

Create summer tees with fun healthy foods, like kale, strawberries, blueberries or beets, to advertise your gym or healthy event. Consider a local 5K fun run or a bike ride for charity. Use fruits and vegetables to make funny little puns like “let’s beet the competition” and hand them out to participants. Participants definitely want to wear those shirts again!

Why Choose Custom Summer Food Tees?

Summer food is iconic. Adding summer food to your company’ or event’s T-shirts just makes sense, and it could make dollars, too.

Food is Fun

Everyone wants a cool summer food T-shirt. From hot dogs to ice cream cones, food is just fun. There’s some intrinsic value that simply unites people and makes them want to be part of something that’s fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Using food on your summer promotional tees gives off a cool vibe that your competition may not display. Get a leg up year-round with a well-placed summer food T-shirt that catches the attention of your community.

Custom T-shirt Designs for Your Business

Custom T-shirts also give you an advantage when it comes to nearly free advertising. Employees and guests who wear your summer food tees walk around town all day with information about your company written across the front or back of the shirt.

While you may use the front of your food T-shirt to have your food emblem emblazoned across it, the back is a blank slate where you can put your company name, logo and location. This is a very convenient way to get participants to advertise for you without making them feel like walking billboards. Put a charming hamburger on the front of your summer promotional tee and your company information across the back, and customers will be asking you for shirts that let them spread the love for your brand.

Running a summer business is a great way to earn some extra money. Whether you’re trying to avoid the typical crunch of less hours during the summer or you simply want to make more money, you have several options. However, trying your hand at entrepreneurship can open a new world of possibilities to you, which is a summer business represents an ideal endeavor. Teens who operate their own summer businesses tend to earn more money than their traditionally employed counterparts. For entrepreneurial-minded youth, a summer business can be the perfect way to flex the entrepreneurial muscle without much risk involved. Custom tees are a great way to advertise your summer enterprise.

Get your information out there

Designing a T-shirt to wear while your work your summer business is a unique way to spread the word about your business and attract new customers. Even though your summer business gives you the opportunity to sidestep the traditional work uniform, inventing one of your own could pay off in more ways than one.

Company name and logo

When you consider your summer business T-shirt design, be sure to integrate your company name and logo. Even a simple block print of your company name - if you don’t want to take the time to create a logo - gets the message across.

If you’re contracted by or associated with a larger organization - like the park you’re vending at or your local public school system you’re tutoring for - ask if you can get a logo template from them to add to your shirt. Putting a well-recognized logo on your T-shirt will get you even more attention.

Contact information

In addition to your name and/or logo, you need to include some sort of contact information so that interested potential clients can get in touch with you. Add a phone number, email address or website where you can easily be reached. Let potential clients know that they can book an appointment with your service or get your one-man vending operation to work an event.

If your business name doesn’t accurately convey the service or product that you offer, include a tagline or simple explanation somewhere on your shirt. If people don’t know what you’re offering, it’ll be difficult to get them to connect with you later on.

Jobs with high visibility

If your summer business offers you high visibility, then you definitely don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to use a T-shirt to communicate that you’re open for business and happy to help. Don a bright green tee to get noticed by cars driving past or wear a neon yellow shirt for patrons to notice you across a crowded beach.

Outdoor jobs

Outdoor jobs are among the most visible since they’ll likely bring you to a nearby yard, neighborhood, or farmer’s market. When you’re highly visible and want passersby to notice the service and products that you offer, letting them know who you are and what you do helps them to decide whether they want to get in touch.

Lawn care

Chances are, your lawn care clients have neighbors. If you want the neighbors to notice the awesome job you’re doing in lawns already in their neighborhood, consider wearing an identifying tee that gives them a way to connect with you. Then you can tell them about your one-time or weekly lawn services.

Car care

If you offer car care, there will likely be pedestrians or drivers who pass by. Some of these people may want to know how you can help them take care of their own car. Include some basic information on the back of your shirt so that potential customers can take note of your company and contact information. This works perfectly for when you’re scrubbing out a tough spot at the time.

Summer vending

Summer vending opportunities, like providing refreshments at the beach or snacks at a Little League game, often require you to be fairly visible. That’s because interested customers can flag you down and purchase what you sell. Wear a brightly colored shirt that clearly conveys you’re open for business and let the customers come flowing right to you.

Color ideas

The colors that you choose for your summer business tees are important. You want to consider bright colors if you want customers to notice you from far away or read your shirt from the next yard over.

If you’re working with another organization or want to have certain colors associated with your brand - green for lawn care, for example - consider using a few different shades for different days. Always give shirts to your assistants and co-workers. Hand out shirts to family members or friends who might be interested in helping you spread the word. After all, what are friends and family for?

Create custom tees for your church’s vacation Bible school by printing your own theme and church information on T-shirts in all sizes. VBS shirts help bring the team spirit to your group and provide community awareness of your program and church. Today, we’re going to look at some of the best reasons to include cheap custom tees in your budget for this summer.

Create team spirit

One of the best things about a themed tee for your group or event is that it creates cohesion for members who participate. Nothing brings a team together like matching shirts that show off their participation as a volunteer or attendee in your church’s annual VBS program.

Choose church colors

If you have church colors or colors associated with your affiliated church school, consider using them in your T-shirt to keep design elements consistent. Having your church colors represented can give community members instant association with your church when they see VBS participants walking around the town.

Designate different camps

If you have multiple camps represented in your church’s VBS program, you may want to consider different-colored shirts for each group. For example, pick bright orange tees for the preschool program so that leaders can keep get head counts from just a quick glance. Choose to garb teen and adult volunteers in uniquely colored shirts so that children know where to go for questions or problems. It also makes adults easily visible for parents when they come to pick kids up or need some other type of assistance.

Spread the word

Custom VBS T-shirts give you the opportunity to spread the word about your VBS program and your church. Because you’re in charge of the information that goes onto these tees, you can use them as a way to advertise your church’s presence and involvement in positive children’s activities.

Include church information

Adding your church’s name is a no-brainer for designing your VBS T-shirt. Your church name gives community members an idea of the types of activities that your church provides. Adding your full church name differentiates your VBS program from the other churches in you area that have the same or similar names.

Add a Bible verse

If you’ve got the room and a theme verse that you want the kids to commit to memory, adding a Bible verse to your VBS tees is a great idea. Good verses include theme verses for your program, or simply ones that are great to have on the mind like John 3:16. Place a Bible verse across the back of each tee so that children are reminded of their memory verses as they spend time with one another. Use different-colored T-shirts for the leaders to wear with different verses throughout the week.

Keep the memory fresh for family and friends

Even after vacation Bible school week ends, your VBS tees remind children and their family members or friends of the awesome week that they had hanging out at your VBS program. Many children will wear their VBS tees long after the week passes, which keeps your church information fresh in the mind of those who see it. If you’re using your VBS program as a primarily evangelistic event, this can be a good way to kindly remind family members of children who attended that your church is a family-friendly haven that they should check out again. At the very least, the tees have a positive influence even when they’re worn beyond the VBS week itself.

Use tees as incentives

You can use tees as incentives for leaders and children alike. Depending on your budget or setup, you may only have a limited number of tees up for grabs, so making them a hot commodity can encourage children and leaders to be active participants in the program to get a shirt for themselves.

Team leaders

If you have a dress code for your leaders or anticipate that some games might get a little messy, providing them with VBS tees in advance might help cut down on the resistance that your leaders might have for participating with these events. Give leaders tees to help them remember to wear clothing that they don’t mind getting a little dirty throughout the course of the week.

Giveaway prizes

If you have a round-up event at the end of each day of VBS or a big bash at the end of the week, you can use custom tees as prizes for giveaways. For example, if a student memorizes five verses and participates in certain activities, they might qualify for a shirt. Toss them to audience members at a fun family-friendly concert event to wrap up the week.

As we head into warmer weather, people shed their coats and sweatshirts and opt for cheap custom T-shirts instead. As we come out of the spring fog, there are a couple of great summer holidays coming up that would be appropriate to commemorate with a custom T-shirt. A great way to show your patriotism is to create T-shirts for Memorial Day as well as the Fourth of July. Whether wearing them to a gathering or sharing them with friends, you can have unique shirts to celebrate each of these holidays.

A Shirt to Celebrate Memorial Day

Memorial Day is about honoring men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. It is a holiday to commemorate the sacrifices these servicemembers and their families made for their country. Instead of creating a generic patriotic shirt, there are some ways to zero in on the celebration of this holiday specifically.

Honor a fallen loved one

You may know someone, either in your family or a friend, who served in and was killed in the line of duty. You can pay tribute to this person specifically with your custom T-shirt. Put this person's name somewhere on your T-shirt.  If you had a special nickname for this individual, feel free to use this instead. You can also put "in loving memory" and either the dates they served in the military or the birth and death dates. If you have a photo, contemporary technology allows companies to screenprint a photo onto a shirt.

Honor multiple or all fallen veterans

You could pay tribute to all fallen veterans instead of an individual. This could be done by listing multiple names or by using a phrase, such as "Thank you, veterans." You could also simply put, "Happy Memorial Day" on the cheap custom T-shirts.

How to Celebrate the Fourth of July

Independence Day is another patriotic holiday that we celebrate during warm months. The day typically includes backyard barbecues, fireworks, and patriotic music.

Honor the date of independence

When designing a custom T-shirt to celebrate the Fourth of July, you could list "July 4th, 1776" somewhere on the shirt to commemorate the date.

Use a more generic phrase

You could also use a more generic phrase, such as "Happy 4th of July!" along with other wording or pictures.

Feature common things that are associated with the holiday

You could also incorporate things that people associate with the holiday. You could have your shirt feature fireworks or sparklers.

Designs for Either Holiday

A similar theme between the two holidays would be the colors you incorporate in the T-shirt. You could use red, white and blue for different elements of the shirt. You can incorporate these colors into the color of the shirt itself, the pictures you use and the font. Consider a base color of red or white and then put darker colors on it.

The United States flag

The flag is an element many companies put on patriotic shirts. You can use an image of the flag for either holiday. Imagine the flag in a wave-like pattern or just a simple rectangle.

Use pictures related to grilling out

You might feature common activities that people do on these holidays. This would include grilling out. If you throw a barbecue or a party to commemorate these occasions, you could also create custom T-shirts for the event to give to your guests or just for the hosts of the party. This would be a fun thing to give to your guests and add fun to your party. Consider words like “Smith Annual Barbecue” followed by the date.

Design Elements

There are many colors to choose from when picking a design for your cheap custom T-shirts. You don't need to keep with white. Since you're celebrating patriotic holidays, you could instead use a red or blue T-shirt. It's important to make sure to pick a font that won't drown out the rest of the shirt’s design.

Color of the font

Make sure you choose a font color that stands out from the rest of the shirt. You can also change up the font to make it more unique. Choose something that is easy to read so others won't need to guess at the wording.

Cut of the shirt

Different people like different cuts of T-shirts. Make sure to take into account the recipient's unique style. If you are giving away shirts at a party or gathering, have some in a variety of styles and sizes so

everyone gets something that fits them well. They are sure to want to wear it again in the future.

Pick comfortable material

It's important to pick material that is soft and comfortable. You don't want to put the time into creating a custom T-shirt if it's not something that you enjoy wearing.

The summer holidays are a fun time to create and wear custom T-shirts. If you take some care in creating these shirts, you can have something as a great keepsake.

Spring and summer are great times of the year to promote your construction business. The weather is just starting to warm up, which causes people to think about renovations and construction projects. People often wait until this time of year to begin home improvement projects or even begin new construction. The two popular seasons are ideal times to renovate a home, as the weather is more comfortable. Home renovations can be a bit uncomfortable anyway. People often wait until at least the weather is comfortable to start making changes to their home. Branding your biz with cheap custom tees is a smart way to market your construction enterprise.

Warm Weather Marketing 

When it comes to new construction, there is something about spring that plants the thought into people’s minds. Maybe it has something to do with spring cleaning that makes people think about an updated house. People considering construction projects are likely entertaining the idea during the warmer months.

Logos and Signage

There are many ways to advertise your construction company when the weather starts to improve. There are plenty of marketing strategies that will benefit your business. Many businesses like to display their logos on their business vehicles, even when not being used during company hours. Constructions companies also use signage on current construction projects. Of course, these companies also pair with other businesses and use networking to attract new clients.

Marketing That People Will Wear

One savvy strategy that you may not necessarily think about is creating a t-shirt to market your construction business. Many people are walking advertisements for millions of brands every day. We subconsciously notice these subliminal marketing ads: a man wearing a soda or beer brand t-shirt. You may see a child dressed in a cartoon t-shirt. Sports fans may think they are representing their favorite team when wearing clothing with its name and logo all over it, and that they are; however, they are also marketing that team’s brand.

It is not enough to just put your name on a t-shirt. You must strategically design the shirt to reflect your company. At a glance, people need to identify your brand. When they need construction or know someone who does, your name will flash through their minds.

Make it Wearable

A great design for your tee is only the beginning. The tee needs to be something that people want to wear. People love free stuff, so regardless of what the tee looks like, people will take it. You want them to want to wear the tee in public, not just to clean the house or do yard work. Although, doing yard work should get the t-shirt some attention from neighbors or passer-bys.

Slogans and Sayings

You want to entice people with the tee. Make it fashionable and ensure that it has a catchy statement on it.

As summer approaches, people start to get out of their homes and into restaurants, beach venues, hotels, bars and clubs where they can take advantage of the warm weather and free time. There are numerous ways that business owners can take advantage of this change in the climate by offering custom design tees to attract customers and spread the word about special promotions that they want to share with their target market.

Restaurant and Bar Tees

To start, custom tees can be used by restaurant, bar or club owners to help with the restaurant’s branding, which can help establish long-term customers and attract others who associate the venue with key words and images. A custom printed t-shirt that has a logo of the restaurant on it, or an eye-catching image with an appealing slogan, is able to build up the image of the restaurant so that people who see the shirt immediately understand what the business is trying to sell - and as a result, they will be more drawn to going there if they like the message that it is sending.

Branding eateries

The larger benefit of this (which applies to all businesses) is that t-shirts help spread a branding message to more than just the person who wears them. By handing them out for free at your restaurant, or giving them away on certain days or times that correlate with promotions such as happy hour, you can make sure that they get out to as many people as possible. And then the people that do end up wearing them show the shirt to every person who sees it while they are walking by on the street or spending time together at work. Thus, the impact of the shirt is multiplied many times over.

Spread the word about special events

Owners of such venues can also use custom-printed t-shirts to promote special events going on, either handing out the shirts ahead of time to build up excitement for the event or giving them to attendees who can use them to commemorate the special day. For example, if you are throwing a “tropical night” at your bar or a Fourth of July bash at your restaurant, both could have a custom-designed tee that helps people expect what’s to come and show up on the night of, or remember the event after it happens and come back to your business later.

Summer Camps for Kids

Another use for custom tees is to promote summer camps taking place for kids during the summer months, as it’s a great way to bond participants and encourage parents to send their kids back the next year.

Fit into the group

Summer camps are all about the experience of getting to know your group of fellow campers, and most choose to do this by custom-printing t-shirts with the year of the camp, the name, a logo, the location and the names of all the campers on the back. That way, participants feel like they are a part of something special, and they will want to partake in this experience again the next year.

Vacation Venues

Trendy vacation hot spots will also want to distribute t-shirts in order to promote their location as the weather gets warmer and they want to get the word out so people can make plans to stay there. Wearing a tee promotes the resort and encourage others to ask about it. These discussions can attract more people to stay at the summer vacation getaway spot.

Focus on holidays and promos 

This can apply to hotels as well, which can either give out shirts as a promotion or to guests who stay there at certain times, such as on holidays and promotional days offered by the hotel. Some designs include the logo of the hotel, an image of the hotel’s location or a reference to the local area that people come to visit, which can allow them to look back fondly on their stay months or years later when they are reminiscing about their vacation.

The key when creating these t-shirts is to make them fashionable, wearable, and trendy, so that people who receive them will want to show them off and therefore spread their message to others. One way to do this is by scouring online blogs and fashion websites to see what’s in vogue — for example, you don’t just have to print basic blocky t-shirts, but can get v-necks or tank tops if that’s what’s being worn right now. You should also make choices in colors, designs, and fabrics based on what is most wearable; one consideration is thinner materials in order to accommodate the heat of the summer.

Everyone loves their pets. For many people, a beloved dog or cat becomes a part of the family. That’s what makes it so devastating when that pet is lost. Whether or not your pet is eventually found, feelings of panic, loss and anger arise whenever a dog or cat goes missing. Losing a pet is not as uncommon as you may think. A study conducted by the ASPCA found that 15 percent of all households lost a dog or a cat in the past five years, and 85 percent of those pets ultimately returned to their owners. Cheap custom tees can help you find a lost pet and rescue other pets.

Finding a Lost Pet

These are pretty good odds, which just goes to show that pet owners do everything they can to try to find their lost animals.

Ways to Do It

People put up flyers all around town, post ads on the internet and scour the local animal shelter for any indication that their lost dog or cat may have turned up somehow. Of course, it helps if the animal is microchipped. In more cases than not the extensive searching, community involvement and support of local agencies helps return the lost pet to its home and loving owner. Your pet's face on cheap custom tees is a constant announcement to find your beloved fur baby.

Shelters and Adoptions

However, sometimes lost pets unfortunately stay lost. Each year, thousands of lost pets end up at animal shelters around the country. They may get there because they were found wandering the streets after getting lost or running away from their owners. Pets may have been confiscated from a home with poor living conditions.

Finding a Loving Home 

No matter the reason, these pets are placed in the shelter with the hope that they will be adopted into loving homes. In many places, especially in large cities, those that are not chosen will eventually be euthanized due to a lack of space and resources. Many people don’t want this to happen to any dogs or cats that could make great pets if only given the chance, which is why pet lovers choose to adopt.

Benefits of Adoption

There are many other benefits to adoption. The best reason is that you can find your forever companion and beloved pet from among the many animals held in cages at the shelter. In addition, you can help save an animal from a life on the streets or give it a home once again if it is missing domestic life.

A Better Life for Fido or Morris

Shelters also rescue many animals from abusive or neglectful homes, so you can feel like you are making a difference in the life of at least one animal by adopting. Furthermore, adopting an animal helps ease the strain on animal shelters that are usually understaffed and underfunded. Adopting from a shelter can stop the terrible conditions in many animal breeding centers (such as puppy or kitten mills) by boycotting these industries and adopting instead.

Order Cheap Custom Tees

No matter the reason, if you’ve decided to adopt a pet, chances are you’re thrilled to welcome this new member of your family into your home. If this is the case, one of the most creative methods to welcome a pet is by printing cheap custom t-shirts that introduce your pet to the humans in your life. A custom T-shirt commemorates the adoption.

Proud of Your Pet

Custom printed t-shirts can be made quickly, cheaply and efficiently. Best of all, you can add your own images to create a wearable souvenir that will last long into the future. To create a t-shirt that celebrates your new pet, add a picture of your newly adopted dog or cat. Add some whimsical comments to show them some love, such as “You can’t buy love, but you can rescue it.”

Everyone Will Want One 

You can then distribute the t-shirts to your family and friends. Especially if they have a cute image of your new pet, people want to wear them to celebrate along with you and also to show off how adorable your new dog or cat is. Have your family members wear the T-shirts when you celebrate the adoption day every year on the anniversary of the adoption.

More Pets Can Get Adopted

A custom t-shirt has the added benefit that you promote the importance of rescuing an animal instead of buying it from a breeder. Your family and friends wear the t-shirts in public, and then everyone who sees the shirts knows the value of adopting a loving pet. The t-shirts gain more exposure for your cause of pet adoptions, even though you just love having your dog or cat as a member of your family.

These t-shirts can also bring your family together around its newest member. These shirts help you remember a time when your pet was young and still getting to know you (perhaps even as a puppy or kitten!). Many years later, you’ll get to wear this t-shirt and come back to this memory, even as a memorial to your cherished pet in the future.

Sonogram

Words to highlight her interests

Color of the font

Make sure you choose a font color that stands out from the rest of the shirt. You can also be creative with the font style that you use. Make sure that the font is easy to read and matches your Mom's unique style.

The cut of the shirt

In order for your Mom to truly love the shirt that you design for her, make sure to get the right size and a flattering cut. Some women like closer-cut shirts, while others prefer ones that have some room. Some women like V-neck shirts, while others prefer traditional collared shirts or even polo shirts. Take these things into consideration when you choose the shirt for your Mom.

Moms really appreciate when you put thought into the gift that you get for them for Mother's Day. A custom t-shirt is a great idea for something that's unique and shows that some thought went into it. Design a shirt as a tribute to your Mom this year.

High school is a special time in any young person's life. These formative years happen when kids get to participate in a variety of activities and create lasting memories and friendships. There are many events such as football games, proms, dances and graduation that kids will remember forever. Custom t-shirts are a great way to celebrate these events and help them remember these occasions for years to come. Consider how many events happen during high school and how many create long-lasting impressions on teenagers. Every event has a chance for you to create cheap customized t-shirts for that occasion as a way to promote school spirit and celebrate these years in the kids’ lives.

How to Make Appealing T-shirts

It's important to create shirts that will appeal to the kids. This can be done in a variety of ways.

Colors

White t-shirts may be less expensive, but they are also boring. You need t-shirts that appeal to a variety of kids, and that means splashes of color. By offering a variety of colors, teenagers are more interested in the shirts themselves. This gives them the opportunity to pick their favorite colors for a more unique shirt. Picking favorite colors also means a more emotional connection to the garment.

Fun Fonts

In addition to adding color to the shirts themselves, you can also play with different font colors. The font should stand out against the shirt. By adding stylistic choices for fonts, your teen can make the shirts more interesting.

Variety of Sizes

Shirts must come in a variety of sizes so as not to exclude anyone from purchasing them. Teenagers want to feel included, and offering a large range of sizes makes everyone feel welcome to buy them.

Many Styles

Teenage girls and teenage boys like different styles. Some styles are more flattering to different genders and body types. Girls will probably want different cuts of shirts than the boys will. Girls may go for closer cut shirts and boys may want more straight styles. Offer V-neck shirts for those who may prefer that style, but then crew neck shirts for other styles.

High School Events That Deserve Custom T-Shirts

There are plenty of high school events in a teenager’s four years that deserve custom t-shirts. These are just a few of them.

Homecoming Football Games

Football games are a big deal to many kids in high school. You have the players, cheerleaders, band, spirit squads and fans in the stadium. Add the homecoming atmosphere, and it’s a celebratory game all around the stadium. Create cheap customized t-shirts with the school mascot and name on them to promote school spirit at this time. There is no bigger game than homecoming. Create cheap customized t-shirts for everyone to wear to the game, and each shirt includes the date and both team names. Another option is to make t-shirts after the homecoming game, preferably if the school won, that feature the score. This can be a special keepsake for years to come.

Group Shirts

There are many different groups and activities that a child may participate in during the high school. Custom t-shirts represent a fantastic way to make teens feel like they are a part of a team. Consider shirts for a band, choir, orchestra or athletic team. If a student participates in drama, not only can you produce a drama t-shirt for the class, but you could design a shirt for each play that students participate in throughout the year. If a group goes on a special trip to perform somewhere, this also warrants a special shirt. There are many different ways to encourage students to feel pride for the school and the activities that they excel in thanks to t-shirts.

Dances

Homecoming dances and proms are also huge milestones in a teenager's life. Try creating custom t-shirts in celebration of these events. Give students the option of placing pictures on the shirts from these events to personalize the event even further. These photos on shirts are a great keepsake for students who attended different dances. Every dance has a theme, and that's a great way to make these shirts unique to a particular dance. Design the shirt with that theme in mind for that particular dance, coupled with photos of people who attended. Don't forget to include the date of the dance.

Graduation

Graduation is the ultimate milestone in everyone's life at high school, and a cheap customized t-shirt with the year of the graduating class is a fantastic going-away gift for everyone. While students sign yearbooks, leave space for signatures on the shirt itself. Signatures create an extra-special shirt that someone may get much more use out of than a yearbook.

For your graduating seniors, a custom t-shirt is a great gift. This way, they remember the years they spent in high school and the pride that they had in their school.

When building your marketing strategy, it's important to look at different areas and use those that make sense for your business. A great way to get your company name out into the world is to create cheap custom t-shirts for your customers, clients and employees. There are many directions that you can go in when creating these t-shirts. One of them is to include a memorable phrase that people will associate with your business. You can use an already established catchphrase, but you can also create one of your own. No matter which direction you go in, it's important for your phrase to attract attention and be memorable. Find out how to use catchphrases on cheap custom t-shirt to promote your business.

How to Create a Memorable Catchphrase 

Catchphrases are just like they sound. You remember them long after you see them.

Use words that are interesting, but not long

Catchphrases are immediately distinctive or unusual. Use words that are not as common to ordinary speech. This doesn't mean that you should use longer words necessarily, just ones that aren't used as often.

Use common syntax

Simpler syntax is usually catchier. Use simple sentence structure and word order to make for a more memorable quote.

Keep it short

In order to be memorable, your phrase needs to be short. If it isn't, it's not a catchphrase.

Use few personal pronouns

You want your catchphrase to appeal to the most people possible. Don't limit it by using "him/her" or "me." Phrases are more memorable if you use fewer personal pronouns.

Use present tense

Use present tense in your catchphrase. If you use past tense, it limits the quote. It makes people think that the quote refers to something specific instead of being applicable to multiple things. Think of Nike’s “Just do it.”

Use front sounds

According to a Cornell study, good quotes use certain parts of the mouth. They use much more labial and front vowel sounds. Labial sounds include m, f, p, b and v.

The phrase should work well on its own

One of the most important things in a catchphrase is that it works well on its own. It doesn't need any additional context for someone to know exactly what it means.

You can use an already established catchphrase

If you use a catchphrase that people already know, this will make it easy to gain the attention of others. People will know immediately what you mean and what you're referring to the catchphrase. It will also help your company stick in their minds. Consider “Got milk?” or similar questions.

I have my phrase, now what about the shirt?

Coming up with a catchy slogan is just half the fun. The rest happens when you design a cheap custom T-shirt.

Make sure that your catchphrase is appropriate

Your phase needs to be applicable to your business. If you pick something that has nothing to do with your business, it leaves people more confused than intrigued.

Avoid material that is offensive

You don't want your cheap custom t-shirt to offend potential customers. Just because a catchphrase has adult language in it, that doesn't mean you need to write it off altogether. Instead, use symbols to replace certain words. If you're using a popular catchphrase, people will still recognize it and you can still use it if you think it's appropriate for your business.

Choose colors wisely

The colors you choose for your shirt's overall look and the lettering needs to be eye-catching without clashing. Use contrasting colors to really make font pop, but make sure these colors still complement each other.

Make your logo and company name easy to see

Using a catchphrase to attract attention is all for not if people can't see or don't remember the name of your company after viewing the T-shirt. Your logo and/or company name should work around your catchphrase. People need to easily remember the design so they can look up your company later.

Optimize your website

If your website doesn't work well or isn't mobile-friendly, much of your work will be for nothing. The majority of people will look up your company on a mobile device after seeing your custom shirts. If your website is hard to read or a mess, customers will not investigate further. No matter how interesting your custom T-shirts look, if someone can't navigate your website easily you won't gain new customers through that portal. Make sure that the content on your website is error-free. Issues with spelling and grammar turn people off easily. Take pride in your website as it's an important part of gaining customers and your company's overall image.

Custom T-shirts are a great way to market your company out in the everyday world. If you provide people with high-quality and attractive cheap custom t-shirts, they wear them more often and you reap more benefits from this marketing strategy.

Spring is an exciting time of year. Everything is growing, the green is coming back and everyone is beginning to ditch the winter coats. Many people love spring and love to get back outside. Winter is confining while spring reinvigorates everyone. It's a great season to take advantage of new marketing ideas, including a cheap custom t-shirt for your business. As people shed their coats, why not have them promoting your business at the same time?

What to Include in Your Custom Spring T-shirts

You have several factors to consider when making and designing your custom spring t-shirts. Take a look at these aspects as you go through this process.

Make use of pastel or vibrant colors

There is no other season that accepts as wide of a color range as spring does. You can go the pastel route with blues, yellows, greens, and pinks. Light colors are great as the weather warms up as those keep you cooler. Another great option is to use vibrant colors to mark the season. After a dull winter, people are more interested in bringing some colors into their lives and clothing represents a great way to do that. In addition to the actual shirt reflecting the season, you can also play with your font colors. Just make sure that the different colors complement each other. It's important that your company name, as well as any other important words, leap off the shirt and gain attention.

Make the shirt memorable with images

The shirt itself needs to be interesting and memorable. If it isn't, no one pays attention to it, let alone remembers the name of the company that displayed prominently on it. A memorable image helps people remember it and associate it with your company.

Think about a logo or company redesign

To go along with the theme of renewal, why not take a look at your existing designs? It may be time to work with a graphic designer. While you're taking the time to create shirts, you want to produce a high-quality product. Take a look at your fonts and logo that you use on your website and other areas. Are these the best they can be? It may be a good time to revamp your company's look.

Make the shirt comfortable and fabricated out of light material

The material that you use for your spring t-shirts is important. You want the material to be both comfortable as well as light to go along with the season. The material needs to be pleasing in order for people to wear them. Even if you give away shirts for free, they won't be worn if they're uncomfortable.

Have a variety of sizes available

In order to entice more people to wear your spring shirts, make them available in a variety of sizes and include a size chart. This helps people get the right size the first time. You also need to make sure to be responsive when someone has a comment or question. Your dedication to customer service also inspires people to wear your spring shirts.

Use them to show off spring promotions

With the change of seasons, many companies offer a variety of spring promotions. T-shirts are a great way to showcase your different spring promotions. For example, you could give away shirts with certain purchases. You could also use a cheap custom t-shirt to promote or commemorate a spring event. This would include the event date along with your company logo and other specifics.

Spring Events Ripe for T-Shirt Promotions

It's a great idea to time your spring promotions along with the spring holidays such as Easter, Mother's Day and Earth Day. These events are great places to use social media to advertise your promotions, t-shirt giveaways and sales. Facebook and Twitter offer great outlets for different contests and promotions. In order to gain attention and get in different holiday spirits, you create a contest such as a jelly bean guessing game or a post about what Mother's Day means to someone.

Throw an outdoor event

With the warming weather, it's a good time of year to start planning an outdoor event either for your employees alone or for your employees together with clients. This is a great place to encourage people to wear your spring-inspired t-shirts.

Sponsor a sports team

Not only can you help out a local team, you can also promote your business. If you become a sponsor, you can have your company information proudly displayed on the team's shirts. This is a great way to get your company name out in your community as well as neighboring communities.

Spring brings much excitement along with it, and it's a great time to update your marketing strategy with a specialized cheap custom t-shirt.

School field days represent a great way to get kids outside in the fresh air for a day of physical activities, fun and play time that everyone enjoys. Whether you’re already familiar with field days or are just starting out with the concept of an all-day outdoor fun day, consider all the great ways you can incorporate a unique element into your school’s event — custom design tees that you can use for a variety of purposes.

About School Field Days

For those unfamiliar with this event, a school field day typically entails day at the end of the year held at elementary and middle schools. Field day encourages students to gather outdoors in the school’s main field or athletic facilities and engage in fun physical activities. These activities include obstacle courses, bounce houses, soccer, kickball, dodgeball or touch tag. Students often work together to complete relays or team exercises that challenge them to collaborate to achieve a common goal.

Getting Active Outdoors

Educators and administrators choose to hold field days for a variety of reasons, starting with the fact that they get kids out of the classroom. That, in turn, encourages healthy habits like exercising and spending time away from electronic devices. Field days can be a good time to get students on track for the national physical activity guidelines that set the standard for what is a healthy level of exercise.

Sense of Community

Furthermore, field days help build a sense of community by bringing kids, parents, teachers and school administrators together in one day-long event. While kids get to feel like they are a part of a larger family that extends to their entire school and even their district, parents can connect over planning the event and teachers learn how to work together more closely as a collective staff. Field days are a good time to set the foundation for other community activities such as fundraising, activism and lawmaking.

Adding Custom T-shirts 

Custom design tees are an option to offer at field days that many people overlook. However, if you want to elevate your event beyond a typical program — which, although engaging, can get tedious for students, parents, and teachers if it is the same type of field day year after year — custom T-shirts are a great way to bring more people together. Custom T-shirts give your event a special significance that it otherwise may not appear to have. With customized T-shirts, your program won’t be “just another field day. Make it an event that kids and other members of the community look forward to year after year.

Custom Designs at Affordable Prices

Companies can print T-shirts with any logo, wording or design of your choice. Printers then produce the shirts in bulk so that you can distribute them to a large number of people. You can design something of your own or ask someone to design it for you, but either way, you have a large number of alternatives when it comes to printing out a final product that you’re happy with putting on everyone’s backs. Furthermore, custom T-shirts are fairly inexpensive, especially when you order large numbers. That means that you can satisfy all of your students without digging too much into the fairly tight budget that most schools have.

Why use custom T-shirts for field days?

There are several advantages to ordering customized T-shirts to use at your next field day. To start, you can use different colors and designs for each grade, allowing you to build a sense of spirit, solidarity, and competition among the different grades at your school. This allows students in each grade to feel more bonded to each other and to work together more cohesively, while also being more engaged in the field day because they feel a greater desire to make their team proud.

School Spirit

You can also add school spirit to field day T-shirts by inserting your school’s logo or slogan, a relevant picture or even the names of the students (depending on the size of your school). Then, hand them out at the field day to get students excited to be there. T-shirts are also a great option for parents. This can get them in the spirit of volunteering at field day, especially if they have fun T-shirts to show for it. Thus, parents feel like they are part of a community that they want to help.

Make the kids happy by giving out custom design tees as prizes for different games that take place at the event. Prizes can provide motivation for different teams to compete as well as allow them to remember field day long after the actual event is over.

St. Patrick’s day is a holiday that few people in the United States understand, but most love to celebrate it. After all, who would pass up the opportunity to drink beer and eat delicious food while showing off your green apparel and spending time with friends? It’s the ultimate proof that Americans love to have a good time. It has an added benefit for businesses which can capitalize on this fun-loving atmosphere. Before and on St. Patrick’s Day, bars and restaurants can use cheap custom tees to promote themselves to potential customers, which helps these businesses out in a multitude of ways.

Increase Customer Engagement by Wearing Green

Cheap custom tees are one such promotional tool, which can increase customer engagement and be modified to fit any occasion - including St. Patrick’s Day.

Symbolizing Business and the Occasion

These items of clothing can be custom printed to represent anything you’d like, including your bar or restaurant’s logo, as well as special images and colors symbolizing the occasion. You can then use them in a variety of ways, but the most basic is handing them out to customers before and on St. Patrick’s day, especially during bar and restaurant promotions. This strategy has several advantages, starting with the customers that receive the shirts, who will be more motivated to come back if they feel like they have received special attention from your establishment.

A Lasting Advertisement

Furthermore, the custom tees have an impact that extends beyond just the people who receive them, as these individuals will likely wear them in other locations where more people will see the design and learn about your business. This extends to other purposes such as having your employees wear the shirts while they are at work, which spreads the message you are trying to send beyond just the customers that receive shirts individually.

Specialty Cocktail Promotions

A creative way that you can get people engaged with your bar or restaurant by using customized tees is by promoting specialty cocktails that you have created in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.

It's All in the Name and Timing

From “Shamrock Juice” to the “Irish Flag,” mixed drinks are an exciting way to mark the occasion while bringing even more customers who are attracted to the unique options available on this day alone. People are more willing to buy something if they don’t think they’ll be able to get it again sometime in the future, and this rule perfectly applies to specialty drinks offered on holidays such as St. Patrick’s Day. When people are out with friends, they will spend freely on these one-of-a-kind concoctions in a way that they wouldn’t on regular beer that they can get anytime.

Making a Connection 

As a result of this connection, a great opportunity for bars and restaurants is to use custom tees to promote these specialty drinks, creating a novelty shirt that feels special for the person that receives it, rather than just generic. These shirts will bring the wearer back to the place where they got it, which in this case is your bar or restaurant. Furthermore, they will be reminded of the special feeling they had when they were sipping on green martinis in your establishment on a fun holiday with their friends - which is likely to encourage them to go back another time.

Slogans and Irish Images

There are many ways that you can get creative with custom tees for your bar or restaurant on St. Patrick’s Day, such as coming up with cool art and slogans that represents the day as well as your own business.

Be Unique

When designing, you’ll want to avoid too many tropes like four-leaf clovers and leprechauns while also making sure to evoke the unique nature of the holiday. Whether this means using a lot of green or displaying the colors of the Irish flag, you have many choices that you can incorporate your own logo or slogan into. Ultimately, you want to make the design something unique that people can remember and use to commemorate the event that they experienced.

Cheap Yet Effective 

Best of all, custom printed tees are a relatively inexpensive way to promote your business, especially when compared to printed advertisements or other marketing methods. The shirts themselves cost very little, and the print services is made to minimize costs in order to make sure that the advertising value outweighs the price of manufacturing the apparel.

And at the end of the day, the benefits you will gain by attracting customers (and retaining them in the months and years to come) who experience your bar or restaurant during St. Patrick’s Day will far outweigh the costs.

From the perpetual trendiness of SoulCycle to the explosive popularity of Zumba, health-minded people always follow new fitness crazes. Though fitness fans may eventually give up and move on to something else, it’s still worthwhile for physical trainers and gyms to capitalize on what people are into while it lasts. One way to do this is by printing custom designed T-shirts to use for promotional purposes. Custom design tees can help attract customers who appreciate your use of unique marketing methods, and they also help retain customers who become more closely bonded to your business.

Advantages of Custom T-Shirts

Custom T-shirts have several advantages, starting with their value as giveaways for customers and potential customers. Those who already frequent your business appreciate the extra perks that come with it, such as a custom designed shirt. These customers are more likely to stay with your company because they feel like you give them personal attention. People who consider signing up with you, however, may sometimes just need an extra nudge. Handing them a free T-shirt with an appealing design can convince them that you are more attentive and individualized than your competitors.

Advertise Your Fitness Business 

Furthermore, giving out custom T-shirts is a great way to advertise your fitness business. Not only does the T-shirt remind the person who wears it of the services you offer, but everyone who sees the person wearing it learns about your company. This is especially effective if you have a catchy design, and people may even stop the person wearing the shirt to ask them about it!

Creating a Top T-Shirt

There are several things you can do with custom-printed T-shirts that apply specifically to your work as a physical trainer or gym owner to help you achieve the aforementioned goals of this simple marketing campaign.

Promote a Boot Camp

To start, use T-shirts to promote boot camps that your business offers to get people to their desired level of fitness quickly. These boot camps are fun but also challenging. Custom shirts can serve to motivate people who are already enrolled in your boot camp, build a sense of team unity and encourage them to see it through to the end of the program.

Spread the Word About New Fitness Classes

T-shirts can also apply to promoting a new fitness class that you offer, whether it’s yoga, self-defense, Zumba, cycling, running or anything else. Though you always have people who seek out fitness classes on purpose because they are determined to participate, the majority of people find out about them just through seeing advertisements or deciding on a whim that they want to get fit (especially around New Year’s and the onset of summer). This makes creating and spreading custom-printed T-shirts a smart business marketing strategy since you expose as many people as possible to your business. Hopefully, the T-shirts convince a few people to sign up for fitness classes just because they see your shirt and find the inspiration they need!

Let Everyone Know About Fitness Challenges

Capitalize on fitness challenges that are popular today by creating custom T-shirts, whether it involves planking in random places, walking a certain number of steps each day or even running 2,017 miles in 2017 (which is actually less intimidating than it sounds). You can design a fun and creative logo around the challenge, and print the names of customers participating in it on the back of the shirt so that they can feel like you give them individual attention while recognizing that they are part of something larger than just themselves.

Memorialize Special Competitions

Custom T-shirts work for special competitions that your company hosts as these items are a great way to get more people engaged and involved. Give shirts away as prizes, or award them to contestants so they can always remember their participation and success. That way, participants are more likely to come back the next year so they can experience something equally fun.

Cool Workout Gear People Want to Wear

Finally, use T-shirts to help your customers work out by printing custom designs onto their favorite sportswear brands. People can be very selective about what they wear and may choose brands endorsed by their favorite athletes. The good news is that most of these brands have T-shirts that allow you to custom print a design!

Custom T-shirts are a great way to commemorate just about anything. Customized apparel helps make special occasions seem that much more important. Unique custom t-shirt designs can spread the word about something beyond the people who received the T-shirts.

As an artist, you always look for ways to give your work a wider reach. After all, the more people that see the content that you produce, the higher the chance that one or more of them will take notice and start purchasing from you. However, there are many barriers that stand in the way of promoting your work. Especially in a technological world where the internet is saturated with artists trying to make their mark, it can be difficult for any individual to get the “big break” that they’re looking for. However, there’s one way to promote your art that few people expect: printing it on cheap custom made t-shirts.

Affordability

These days, custom screen printing is fast, easy and affordable. It is accessible almost anywhere thanks to internet ordering, and most cities have multiple locations that print t-shirts for you to pick up in person. Some websites offer services that print t-shirts and ship them back to you with an average turnaround time of two weeks. This makes it possible for people living almost anywhere to order custom printed apparel. Furthermore, companies often offer their custom printing services for just a little over the cost of the raw materials, especially when you purchase in bulk.

Just Order Online

The process of ordering online is straightforward. Submit your design to a custom printing company, and then choose the size, color, number and type of apparel that you want the design printed on. Cheap custom made t-shirts are the most popular option, but you can pick anything from hoodies and crewnecks to tank tops and jerseys if you’d like. Some screen printing companies offer accessories such as hats or key chains.

Marketability

There is an almost endless number of ways that you can use t-shirts to promote your artwork. Starting by offering them for free or as prizes on your own website or social media. For example, you could say that anyone who orders from your website will receive a free t-shirt, or create a contest on your Instagram account promising a t-shirt to people who recreate your artwork in unique and interesting ways. Offering physical, tangible items to people is a great way to get them engaged with your work. Fans and followers who don’t win something will see others interacting with your art and want to join in, too.

Distributing at Events and Art Shows

As an alternative, you could hand out these shirts at relevant locations such as art shows and galleries so long as you obtain the permission of the gallery owner or the art show director. These venues offer a great way to market yourself to your audience because you know that the people there are already interested in art - you just have to make them aware of what you have to offer. Furthermore, it is much more appealing to offer free giveaways than to simply set up a booth showing people about what you can do.

Why T-Shirts Matter

There are several reasons why t-shirts matter to your artwork. First, fans see a tangible, physical representation of your work that they can touch and experience, which makes it real for them instead of just an abstraction. If people have this view of your art, they will be more likely to want to support it so that they can see more examples of it in the future. Aficionados become passionate about your art in a way that they just don’t get from seeing pictures of artwork posted online. This is the same reason people go to art museums when they could look up famous pieces online. There’s something about the physical that is just more appealing.

A Lasting Representation of Your Artwork

And t-shirts stay with a person even after they leave your presence in a way that paper products like flyers or brochures, or even digital methods like following you on social media, don’t. Someone can throw away a brochure or scroll past your Instagram updates, but if they have a t-shirt from you they will most likely wear it regularly. That’s why your t-shirt should be well-designed and aesthetically pleasing. A custom shirt serves as a personal reminder of your artwork that will keep them interested and coming back for more.

Even better, having art on a cheap custom made t-shirt exposes more people than just the person who is wearing it. An eye-catching design can attract countless admirers who would otherwise have no idea that you existed or were making appealing work. It’s a conversation-starter for the person wearing the shirt, and the wearer will hopefully tell people why he or she received the shirt and what your art is all about. Therefore, the impact reaches much farther than that one personal interaction you’re able to have with the person wearing your shirt.

Have you wondered what trade show attendance really offers? Is your investment in custom tees for trade shows (even though they are cheap) really worth the dollar spent on them? Let’s see if a little information on the brilliant combination of your business, trade shows and cheap custom tee shirts proves the value to you.

The Value of Trade Shows for Your Business

Trade shows offer plenty of opportunities to increase your exposure and promote your business. With an investment of time and minimal cost, you gain education, insight into industry trends, knowledge of new products, access to resources and conversations with other business leaders. In addition to finding the inspiration to improve your business, you earn priceless business relationships for every trade show you attend.

Generate Leads and Motivate Employees

As if that were not enough, from a marketing standpoint, business cards, show directories and relationships collected at these shows bring leads for industry allies and prospective customers. Yes, in one locale, you build your internal company strength and your reach simultaneously. To top it off, the fun of trade shows energizes and motivates you and your employees. This relaxed, interactive atmosphere is perfect for breaking out company T-shirts. In fact, several reasons exist which make them worth their minimal cost.

Top Reasons to Order T-Shirts for Trade Shows

Custom T-shirts represent a simple, but effective, means of unifying your company employee pool and boosting marketing efforts at trade shows. Consider that tees are:

— Cost effective.

— Versatile.

— Easy to design and customize.

— Quick in turnaround time.

— Simple to use.

— Outlast the trade show.

— Appeal to a wide audience.

However, you have much greater reasons for ordering custom tees for trade shows.

Identity

Custom T-shirts worn by your employees makes it easy for show attendees to recognize you. After all, confusion turns business prospects away. On the other hand, if people easily spot employees within your organization, they are more likely to ask their questions or engage in a conversation to learn more about your products or services. Furthermore, the cohesive look of a custom T-shirt puts forth a professional, attractive image. Admit it or not, these factors prompt instant recall of your brand and brand trust. In other words, custom tees make a good first impression at trade shows.

Branding

Custom T-shirts bearing your logo increase brand awareness among those attending the trade show. Choosing company colors for the shirt, logo and lettering brings even greater brand visibility. In a sea of people at any trade show, the presence of several of your company’s tees keeps you in the mind of the consumer and B2B customers. In reality, prospects are more likely to buy from a brand they recognize, even without research. Mere familiarity is enough to spur a decision in your direction if a consumer has little decision-making motivation. In other words, getting those T-shirts walking about the trade show increases your brand recognition and raises the chance prospects will recall your product and services when they consider a purchase.

Promotions 

Custom T-shirts remind show attendees of the event and your company, and that draws them back if the show is a yearly occurrence. Furthermore, printing the T-shirts with show specials and promotions brings contact with attendees after the show. After all, many people like knowing they saved money through an exclusive or special deal. In light of this, consider using T-shirts that advertise special product promotions. Clearly include your web address and promise a gift for visiting your site. Just remember to make all offers simple and clear. If the print size or color of the T-shirt proves difficult to read, the promotion fails.

Giveaways

Handing out T-shirts at your booth brings even more brand awareness to your business. In fact, your logo gets free exposure to the person wearing the T-shirt, but also everyone the wearer comes in contact with on weekend errands, at neighborhood gatherings, around the amusement park and everywhere the person goes while wearing your shirt. Hand out shirts to promising contacts to encourage a continuing conversation. For even greater impact, connect the giveaway with a positive experience and the T-shirt becomes a favorite. After all, more wear equals more visibility. Pair T-shirt giveaways with a fun contest, a game at your trade show booth or some other creative event to spur good associations in the mind of the recipient.

Team Morale

The internal workings of your company benefit from donning custom T-shirts at trade shows as well. Boost morale by creating a sense of belonging and unity among employees sporting the same tee. Company pride and camaraderie develop with these special tees. Consider having employees design a T-shirt through a design contest to create excitement. Present several designs and conduct a vote for the favorite. Giving opportunities for employee involvement around the look of a custom tee increases engagement and a sense of team.

When considering maximizing the potential of your marketing dollars, customized T-shirts in combination with trade shows prove a winner. Custom printing companies offer help with color selection and design for novices. Whether you design the T-shirt yourself or seek professional assistance, the goal remains the same. Create brilliant T-shirt which gets you noticed and sends your audience the right message.

Do you love the smell of infield dirt in the morning? Do you relish the glow of dew on the grass in the early morning as you prep for practice? Do you look forward to spring thaws so you can hit get back to your outdoor sports? If you or your kids participate in some kind of recreational sport, January represents the time of year you start thinking about spring sports. Once the weather turns warmer in March or April, it’s time to get out your ball glove, tennis racket or running shoes to prepare for the spring ritual of competitive sports. There’s another way to get ready for the first practice of the season, and that’s designing custom sports tees for your team.

Spring Sports Palooza

You have several options for spring sports, including softball, baseball, golf, tennis, track and field, and swimming. Even though some of these sports aren’t necessarily team events, you can still create custom tees for these sports. Spring sports occur with schools, local rec leagues, YMCA facilities, church leagues and private country clubs.

Winter is the Time 

Winter months are the perfect time to create custom tees for your team simply because you want them ready for the very first team meeting. You start registering team members in January or February, and then you clear your calendar to hold practices. As you gather names of people on your team, transfer some of that information into the orders for your custom tees. Amid the names, heights and birthdays of your players, remember to ask for T-shirt sizes!

Designing the Look

Several elements go into the look of your spring sports custom sports tees. This requires some information before placing an order.

Team Data

The team name goes on the front along with the team logo. If you know a good graphic designer, either a teammate or a parent, have that person create a unique team logo. Maybe the team had a logo from last season. This design definitely goes on the front next to the team name.

Player Info

Don’t forget to customize each shirt with the player’s name and jersey number on the back. If anyone has a special nickname, that’s where this goes. Otherwise, last names are the standard for players and coaches.

Colors

The colors of the shirts should complement your logo. The simplest ones involve a monochromatic T-shirt with one color for the text. If you have a dark-colored shirt, go with white or yellow text. For a lighter shirt, black or navy blue text remains appropriate.

Less Can Be More

However, you don’t have to limit yourself to just one or two colors. Custom tees or jerseys offer a chance to get creative. It just depends on how much time and effort you want to spend creating a team look. Take into account hues, complementary colors and supplementary colors on the color wheel. Keep in mind, too, that the fancier you make your T-shirts and jerseys, the more expensive your printing costs become.

Economics and Logistics of Custom Tees

Custom T-shirts are the easiest to design, and they are the least expensive simply because T-shirts are the most common type of apparel. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to just T-shirts.

Warm-Ups

Long-sleeve warm-up shirts or jackets are also an option if your season starts with a chill in the air. Sweat pants, sweatshirts and hoodies come into play in cold weather. For long-sleeve shirts, consider billboard jerseys that have text across the back shoulders and on the sleeves. You might order customized bags so everyone has a place to store their gear and warm-ups during game time.

Special Jerseys

For baseball and softball shirts, formal uniforms are button-up shirts made of heavier materials than ordinary T-shirts. Keep in mind these are more expensive, but you want rugged uniforms that last an entire season. Players and parents may want more than one uniform to alleviate laundry concerns, and you might need home and away jerseys depending on the sport.

Additional Shirts

Don’t forget to involve the team’s fans in the bleachers. Family members and friends of players want to show off their team spirit by rooting for their favorite player. Just like fans who wear player jerseys of professional sports teams, create some team spirit with friends and family who sit in the stands.

Order in Advance

Take care of the ordering process before the first meeting of the year. This lets everyone have their uniforms before the season starts, and it gets the overall order started as soon as possible so the team has uniforms in time for its first game. The sooner you start the ordering process, the sooner you get the money to place the order. Delineate a portion of the team sign-up form for additional shirts and their prices so everyone knows what to expect.

Custom tees and team uniforms foster team unity and team spirit, whether you watch your team from the stands, in the dugout or from the side of the pool. Custom tees represent a fantastic way to unify your team from the first meeting through your league championship game or meet.

Creating custom tees offers a fun alternative to standard office wear, group celebrations and birthday or holiday gift-giving. Perhaps your perceived color blindness leaves you hesitant to put together a great look. After all, even the best tee-worthy statements fall flat if camouflaged in the color of the tee. And the statement and the message form the purpose of a great tee. With colors running the full spectrum, how do you choose hues to produce an attractive custom tee that gets your message across to your potential customers? How do you pair a light steel tee with gold nugget lettering successfully? Does chamois even match with graphite? What color is wisteria anyway? Learn how to choose cheap custom tees colors that attract attention.

General Concepts and Color

Fortunately, with a few hints and tips, you can produce fantastic-looking cheap custom tees. Keep in mind a few general concepts when choosing a color for your order.

Visibility

Do letters and images stand out enough to be seen at a distance? While size plays a role in visibility, color greatly enhances this quality as well. After all, if a passerby needs to invade your personal space to read a tee, this gets a bit uncomfortable.

Message

Is your message clearly presented? The whole point of a custom tee is to get the word out to others This can be a fun take on an event, a silly comment, some political commentary or a statement regarding your business’ integrity. With any vibe, lettering and tee colors enhance or detract from the words and images.

Wearability

While economical, custom tees still represent an expense in terms of dollars and time. Designing a piece that unifies employees or family while becoming a memory maker (think of all the meaningful old tees you simply cannot throw out), proves worthy of the cost. In other words, if no one wears it, the message does not get out easily. Ready to get started on color?

Get the Word Out

Creating cheap custom tees usually means you have a message to spread. In particular, this word may relate to your company or a cause you support which offer a starting point in choosing a color.

Company Branding

When looking to promote your business, tees offer a casual, comfortable way to introduce yourself. Looking to your logo for color inspiration keeps things all in the family. After all, professionals likely developed the logo, and their expertise includes color know-how.

Charitable Causes

Another popular use of the custom tee is bringing awareness to charitable causes. The hues that represent the organization or color its logo work well together and attract attention. Use these choices as your starting point.

Opposites Attract

A quick lesson in color principles helps create a tee that you and those wearing it love. Check out a color wheel for inspiration. Use the following concepts to guide your choices.

Contrast

People notice bold-colored lettering that contrasts a tee’s color. Plus, this color scheme increases visibility. For instance, dark tees with light text and light tees with dark print offer a clear message.

Complement

In choosing ink color, think complementary colors. Hues directly across from one another on the color wheel. Note that too much strong contrast can be overwhelming. The colors next to one another on the wheel (analogous) offer a gentle contrast. Monochromatic colors (shades of the same hue) create shading and definition.

We Go Together

Pulling all the options together in a cohesive, wearable look requires a few other considerations. Simplicity and the call of the seasons offer valuable clues to color choices.

Simplification

Keep the layout and colors of your tee simple to avoid crowding and maintain message clarity. Limiting yourself to one or two colors works to this end. While the standard, go-to white tee may scream simplicity, white images on colored shirts prove more striking.

Seasonal Considerations

When designing a custom tee, the season when it is introduced plays a valuable role in color choice. For instance, black tee shirts at summer events leave participants sweating and uncomfortable, and that’s not a memory you want associated with your tee or event.

Ordering Hints

When sitting before your computer and inputting your color choices, a few principles come into play. Consider the following before you click to complete your order.

Computer Color

Remember when ordering that computer graphic features affect the color you see. For one, you do not always wear your tee in spaces illuminated by light boxes. Second, filters in your computer brighten images for visual appeal during your online design experiences.

Color Adjustment

When designing your cheap custom tee, keep in mind that adjustments to accommodate your desires sometimes pan out. For instance, if you love a lighter shirt with pastel lettering, visibility decreases. However, adding a darker outline around the letters highlights your message.

Still at a loss? Look for company suggestions as to colors that work well together. Seek the input of others. Ask a customer service representative for help. After all, at TakeHold, we love to create amazing shirts for you!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and it's time to think about gifts for your special someone. There are many ways to commemorate the occasion, and many of them involve a degree of extra creativity. Instead of relying on the old clichĂŠs, such as flowers and candy, why not try something new this year? A custom T-shirt can make a great addition to your Valentine's Day gifts. It shows that you put some additional thought into the holiday. A custom T-shirt can be a great way to show someone you care or that you remember them. You have several reasons to create and order custom tees for Valentine's Day.

A Unique Gift

Many people adhere to the traditional flowers and chocolates when it comes to Valentine's Day. Offer up something different for your special someone by designing a T-shirt with your sweetie in mind. Make it more special by taking his or her interests and passions to heart during the design process.

Show You Care

This not only shows that you remembered Valentine's Day, it also shows how much you care about your special someone. Designing a custom T-shirt shows that you put in more effort than just stopping by the grocery store on your way home from work that day. It shows that you care enough to plan the holiday out ahead of time.

Creating a Keepsake

In your design, include a date that means something to the both of you. This will not only make it a valuable Valentine's Day keepsake, but a keepsake that can be worn throughout the entire year. Take into account several other design elements that make your T-shirt more special between the both of you.

An Important Date

You can include an important date on the T-shirt, such as your wedding anniversary, the day you met or the birth of your child or children. This will add another level to the shirt instead of it just being specific to Valentine's Day.

Song Lyrics

Take a few lyrics from the song you danced to at your wedding and put it on the shirt. This will make the shirt more meaningful and sentimental. If there's another song that means something to your relationship, you can use that one instead.

Special Quote

Is there a quote that makes you think about your significant other? You could use that quote on the shirt. Maybe there's a part of your vows that you remember and want to include. Maybe there's a quote about love that reminds you of your love. There are many options that you can use here that will make your significant other feel special.

Two Shirts Or More Are Better Than One

There are many options when it comes to couples’ custom tees. You could have one shirt say, "Mrs." and one say, "Mr."  You could also have a nod to your children and focus more on that. This could be one that says, "Mama Bear" and one that says "Papa Bear."

Favorite Hobbies

If you both enjoy sports, you could design your T-shirts with that in mind. One shirt could say, "together" and the other say, "since." Then the numbers combined show what year you have been together since. For instance, "20" on one and "07" on the other one to show "2007."

Include the Kids

Not only spouses can be valentines. Maybe you want to design something for your child or children instead. This could be something like, "My first Valentine's Day" or something like, "Mommy's little Valentine."

What About Fido or Kitty?

You could also design a shirt for your pet that features a candy heart. Be sure to include a dog or cat pun on this shirt. Or you can feature a pic of your pet on a Valentine's Day shirt for yourself and others.

More Ideas

Go beyond that special someone and use Valentine's Day to support causes, promote your business, and more.

Anti- or Pro-Valentine's Day

Maybe you're not in a relationship right now. You could create a sassy anti-Valentine's Day shirt to wear, such as, "Love Stinks" with the picture of a skunk. Take your wry humor to a new level. You could also create a pro Valentine's Day shirt. Express love in general with your T-shirt for the holiday.

Promote a Cause

Another kind of shirt you can create is one promoting a cause such as breast cancer awareness. There are tons of charities that need help at any time of year.

Promote a Business

You can also gear a shirt toward supporting a specific business. This could be your own business or just one that you have a love for.

And there are many options when it comes to color choices. If you want something that is obviously Valentine's Day related, stick to white, pink and red. You can play with both the shirt color and the colors on your graphics to achieve the combination that you're looking for. Consider the creative range of choices when it comes to designing custom tees. Holidays such as Valentine's Day offer a great time to showcase this unique kind of gift.

Uniforms don't have to be uncomfortable and unattractive. Instead, provide your employees with customized company T-shirts to wear at work. Providing customized T-shirts to your employees to wear during their shift has multiple benefits both for your company as well as for the individual employees. Both sides can benefit from this strategy. Here are some reasons to consider providing a cheap custom t-shirt to each of your employees.

More Affordable Than Office Clothes

By providing your employees with, or giving them the opportunity to buy, customized T-shirts, you can help them save a great deal of money. If you accept this casual-wear as work appropriate, your employees won't have to spend so much money buying other work attire. Dress pants, shirts, ties and shoes can add up to a great deal. Never mind if you have to dry clean them.

Basic Maintenance

T-shirts are much cheaper, and easier to maintain and clean. Your employees will have an affordable option and not be forced to buy as many fancy clothes. This can be especially helpful for either casual Fridays or employees that work in a shop environment.

Promote Consistency

Often times, when comparing dress clothes of one person to the dress clothes of another person, you will be able to tell who has more disposable income to spend on these clothes.

Level the Playing Field

By providing T-shirts, you level the playing field. Envy and division will no longer have a place in your work environment. It won't matter who has more money and can afford more fancy clothes. Everyone can enjoy the customized T-shirts instead.

Show Departmental Affiliations

You can choose to have certain teams wear certain shirts. You could also offer a options from which employees can choose. By encouraging those on the same team to wear the same shirts, it can help promote pride in the team on which they work. A special T-shirt can also help them even work together better.

Commemorate Events

You could also offer special shirts to commemorate certain events or anniversaries of the company. This offers your employees a variety of shirts to choose from.

Marketing and Branding

By providing your employees with company T-shirts, they can act like walking advertisements for your company.

Everywhere Employees Go

When they go out to lunch or out after work, they will be wearing their company-issued T-shirts. This will help get the name of your company out to more people and show others that your employees take pride in where they work. Not only will this inspire potential customers, but potential employees as well.

Comfort Level

It's no secret that happy employees are productive employees. Your employees are sure to be happier if they are more comfortable.

Quality Matters

T-shirts are one of the most comfortable things that you can wear. Make sure you get good quality material when you order your custom T-shirts. You want your employees to be comfortable a work in lightweight, cottony goodness.

Designing Your Customized Employee T-shirts

You have several things to consider during the design phase of a customized T-shirt. If you don’t plan things out, the overall product won’t turn out very well.

Graphic Designer

When designing your customized T-shirts, it's a good idea to work with a graphic designer or marketing company. Graphic designers can help you pick the right types, designs and colors for your shirts. They are highly skilled in knowing what works best and what goes together.

Company Logo

You need to make sure that your company logo is prominently displayed on the shirt. You want people to see it easily as the log serves as your main brand identity to people unfamiliar with your company.

Company Name

Just as with the logo, you need to make sure that your company name is easy to see on your shirts. Don't use so much stuff on the shirt that the name gets lost. You want people to notice the shirt, but also be able to read the company name at the same time.

Effective Use of Colors 

White shirts can be really boring. Consider choosing another color to help draw attention to the shirt. It is also a good idea to use color in your font and logo. Make sure to pick colors that complement each other. Your graphic designer can help you pick the best colors to put together so it draws the most attention.

Customized T-shirts offer a great marketing opportunity, while also offering a comfortable option for your employees' attire. If you follow the above guidelines and take care when planning, you can come up with a great shirt or two to provide to your employees.

Celebrate New Beginnings

The great thing about getting a T-shirt is that you can wear it again and again throughout the year. Why not keep this in mind and get something with a message that will last the whole year long?

Announce Your Resolution to the World

 

If you take your New Year’s resolutions seriously, then you know how hard it can be to keep them. One of the best ways to keep your resolution is accountability by telling other people. A custom T-shirt can do just that. By coming up with a clever or witty way to put your resolution on your shirt, you can let everyone know what you’re hoping to accomplish in 2017.

Raise Awareness for a Cause

The new year is a great time to take up a new cause. Whether it’s working to halt the deforestation in the Amazon rain forest, saving the bees or working to raise money for a local shelter, aligning yourself with causes like these is a great way to bring meaning to your life in the new year. A new T-shirt can help to keep your new passion forefront in your mind, and help to raise awareness among those around you.

Promote Your Brands

While any time of the year is a good time to promote your business, band or other endeavor, it just makes sense that the new year is the perfect time to begin a new campaign. Since they are fully customizable, our T-shirts can be made for exactly this purpose while promoting or advertising anything you would like for them to announce.

Advertise Your Business

Have a business you want to promote in the new year? Out T-shirts are fully customizable for whatever marketing campaign you have in mind. Put your logo on the front (or back). Describe your business. Put your website or Facebook page on there. Add customer testimony. The point is, you can use out tees to make people aware of your business and what it’s all about.

Elevate a Campaign

Maybe your business is getting ready for a special promotion--that sounds like the perfect time for a custom tee! Whether it’s a special sales event or marketing campaign, T-shirts can help to make the occasion special.

Boost Your Band, Club or Other Group

Of course, no discussion of customizable tees would be complete without some of the most popular and well-loved uses for T-shirts. Even though the new year might not at first seem like it has anything to do with it, it really is a good time to consider getting shirts printed for whatever groups or clubs you support. So, if it’s a band, the school yearbook club, a community choir, or some other organization, we can help you get just the right design for your organization.

So, as the new year begins, why not think of all the ways you could take advantage of new, custom-made T-shirts? Whether they’re meant to start things off with a bang, or promote an idea that will last throughout the entire year, these unique designs can set your brand, party or group apart from the rest in 2017.

The interesting history of the t-shirt goes from its humble beginnings “undercover” to the eye-catching piece of clothing we see today. Contemporary T-shirts are everywhere, in every color and with every imaginable image. How did the T-shirt slowly make its way from a hidden, purely practical piece of clothing to the center-stage role it now has in our lives?

They Began as Long Underwear

T-shirts started as one-piece undergarments with long sleeves and legs called a “union suit” (a “union” of a top and a bottom) invented in the 1800s. Women didn’t like wearing it, but male laborers, who needed to keep warm in the winter, quickly saw good sense and practicalities of union suits for them.

About Union Suits

The union suit had buttons running all the way up its front in addition to a buttoning flap across the backside. It didn’t take long to realize it would be much easier to get into and out of a union suit if it was cut into a top and a bottom.

Long Johns

Inventors called this new version “long johns.” The next step came when wearers asked if they really needed to keep closing and opening all those buttons. Someone figured that if, instead of cotton or wool, the long johns could be made of stretchier fabric, then the top could be pulled right over the head and snap right back into shape...no buttons necessary. The answer to this was “jersey,” a lightweight, knitted fabric. Several manufacturers began making the jersey long johns.

The Undershirt Hits the Marketplace

In 1904, the Cooper Underwear Company, better known today as Jockey International, advertised its own short-sleeved version of the long john top. The company called it, “The Bachelor Undershirt.”

Men Liked Tees

Men liked it. The garment was comfortable and easy to care for. The U.S. Navy liked it, too, and decided to issue the “undershirt” it to all its sailors to be worn under their uniforms. The Army followed. Before long, industrial workers and farmers starting grabbing them up at stores and in catalogs.

The T-shirt Gets Its Name

The history of the T-shirt didn’t stop there. As U.S. servicemen came home from World War I, they found it difficult to give up relaxing in their white undershirts because they had done so back on military bases. Mothers and wives, too, saw how easy was to care for  the simple piece of clothing.

A Famous Author

In 1920, the author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote his novel “The Other Side of Paradise.” In it, Fitzgerald described a young man going off to college who packed his “T-shirt” to take with him. The name was new, but it made sense. A “T” was the shape of every guy’s torso. The shirt has been called that for the almost hundred years since that pop culture reference.

No Longer an “Under” Shirt

By the time the troops had returned from World War II, the white T-shirt was becoming a staple on high school and college campuses as outer wear. Veterans, the great American heroes of the day, began wearing them around as everyday casual clothing.

The T-Shirt Has a Coming Out

In 1951, the T-shirt got its own starring role in popular culture. Actor Marlon Brando wore a white T-shirt in the hit movie “A Streetcar Named Desire.” It was seen by millions. Fans and fashionistas called it “sexy,” and men imitated the look. T-shirts became a fad that has never gone away.

Prints and Colors, Shapes and Sizes: All Customizable

T-shirts printed with images and words started to turn up here and there following Brando’s debut look. A momentous turn in the T-shirt’s past came when images of Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters were first printed on them in the 1950s. Before long, shirts of many colors were carrying pictures and logos of other well-known brands.

Printed T-Shirts

Over the next several decades, printed T-shirt designs grew freer and more original. Shirt fronts became symbols of individual expression. Some shirts incorporated slogans, quirky text or political statements. Rock band logos, album covers and psychedelic imagery became very popular on T-shirts.

Cool Styles and Cuts

Other styles and cuts were added, tailored to gender and social identities, like the snug lady’s tee and the oversize hip-hop tees of the 1990s. By 2012, full color tees were rated as the sixth most profitable piece of merchandise in the U.S.

Cheap Custom T-Shirts for a Cause

As design and technology has advanced, T-shirts have become an ideal medium for promoting products, brands and causes.

Today, customized T-shirts can be produced quickly and inexpensively. They can be a broad marketing tool or be wearable art. Their boundless value comes from the immediate emotional connection a printed T-shirt makes with the wearer. That’s why some of these simple garments have even become collectible, going at auction for up to $1500!

Custom t-shirts are great marketing tools for many different businesses, but the industry that tends to use them the most is the music industry. If you keep the following in mind, you can have a create a t-shirt that will bring fans and success to you and your band. A band needs to make a custom t-shirt as part of its overall marketing strategy to help build awareness about the band. Customized t-shirts also give your fans something to purchase to support you that they can wear for years to come.

What to Include

There are various elements that make a custom t-shirt more appealing and memorable. Consider what to include on the tees for your band.

Eye-catching graphics or images

You need to make your shirt attractive and noticeable. A professional printing company can help you with your design. It is beneficial to have graphic artists working on your design because they will know what works best on a shirt. The initial impression is important as you want people to notice it with a simple glance. You need them to pay enough attention to actually read the band name on the shirt.

Quality shirt material

Thank your fans by making shirts with high-quality materials. If the shirt is uncomfortable, no one will wear it. If the material is soft and comfortable, people tend to wear it out in public time after time. Many T-shirts are made with a thin material, so make sure that you get something a little thicker that people will appreciate.

Have a variety of cuts available

Make sure you offer T-shirt cuts that appeal to both men and women. Some women may prefer v-necks, while men may appreciate muscle shirts. By having a variety of cuts, your encourage more people to buy shirts.

Spring for a shirt with color

White T-shirts can be rather generic. If you use a color that complements your band's logo, go ahead and use that. Color makes the shirt more interesting for people to both see and wear.

Band name or logo

Make sure the name of your band is large and in a font that's easy to read. Again, you want people to remember the shirt, but also the name of your band.

Tour dates

If you have a good number of appearances during the year, include those on the back. Many bands do this. It demonstrates credibility by showing that your band is good enough to have several bookings to its credit.

How to Distribute T-Shirts

If you're just starting out, it's a good idea to give some shirts away for free. Give them to friends and family to wear at events. By giving away the shirts, your friends and family can act as walking advertisements for your band. If the shirt is eye-catching, people that see the t-shirt will look up your band. Make sure you have a mobile-friendly website. Many people will probably look up your band on their smartphone.

Sell them at concerts

You want to have a stash of T-shirts when you're on the road. If you put on a good show, fans will stick around to buy merchandise to support you.

Sell them on your band's website

Make sure these shirts are also available on your website. There will be people that may not have waited to buy them in person but will look up your website to buy shirts later. This strategy taps the market of your fans that haven't yet made it to your concert, but like you so much and are interested in supporting you.

Create shirts for special events

You can also create shirts that are specific to certain events. Since special events don’t happen as often, you'll find people that are interested in these shirts. You could have these shirts exclusively at these events at nowhere else. For these, make sure to include the date of the event. People like pulling the shirt out later on and remembering the good time they had.

Give shirts away to fans

It's important to acknowledge your fans. As a band, you need to make sure to keep up your social media interactions. You could offer contests to those fans, with the prize being a free T-shirt.

When planning to use T-shirts as part of your marketing plan for your band, you need to have both a quality band and a quality website. The best T-shirt won't be bought if you don't have the quality band to back it up. You also need to have a fully functioning, user-friendly website that allows people to easily find out more about your band and purchase merchandise. Your website should be mobile-friendly. If people can't read through it on their phones, they probably won't take the time to look it up at home later. The right approach can make your band stand out from the rest.

There are many dos and do nots when it comes to getting the finished product you want from a custom screen-printed T-shirt. The best way to avoid getting off-track is to think things through and plan well from the beginning. We all know how valuable taking a process step-by-step can be. Whether the results you want from your T-shirt are in marketing recognition or motivation, in dollars or the spirit of a common cause, there are actions to take so your T-shirt design hits the mark. Discover how to design and order custom t-shirts fast and right.

The Design Phase

An experienced, professional graphic designer will help you create a logo or design that accomplishes your main overall goals: communicating your message and promoting your organization, brand or cause. You must understand what kind of design may appeal to your target audience in the first place. Nobody knows them better than you do. Share this information. A designer is trained to translate this knowledge visually.

Creating a Logo from Scratch

If you need to create a logo from scratch, express any ideas in your mind to the designer. You want your design to stand out and appeal to your particular market. If you have an existing logo, a professional can envision how it will translate to a T-shirt. The designer will give you impressions on whether or not your logo is powerful enough for the medium of a T-shirt. Perhaps there are ways it can be stylized or simplified for even more impact.

Simple Mistakes to Avoid

Consider a few simple mistakes to avoid. For example, if you are creating a new design and are taken with an image you want to incorporate, be sure it is one you own or have the rights to use.

Design to Scale

Be sure that the logo will be the right size for reproduction. It cannot look too large or small on the front of different sizes of T-shirt. Find the right proportion that will translate to the full-size range of your order. With sizes for women, be sure the logo won’t get stretched out or sit in unflattering ways.

Image Quality

Talk to the printer to be sure you understand that company’s needs. Confirm that you are getting them the type of file for best results. This is usually a kind of vector file, a format which ensures there is no loss of image quality when the image is resized.

Scheduling

Discuss ideas with the designer and printer for the best schedule to get you the best results. Although, when necessary, screen printing can be done quickly, give yourself time for reviewing and approving designs before the shirts go into final production.

Lettering

Both of these professionals will be sure you get the most from any text in your design. You want it to really “pop” when people read it. Your designer will advise you if too many words clutter your intent. Would an image (acquired or custom-designed) convey it better? Don’t make people strain to read what you need them to. If the fonts and letters are not clear - too skinny, too fat, too curvy - they can be adjusted.

Colors

There are more color choices than ever before in custom T-shirts. Be sure the color you pick is appealing and one that supports your message. Neon lime may be right for a fun event, but not for a serious cause. Decide if the color needs to be gender neutral or can have specific gender appeal. Have no more than two or three colors in your graphic, or it will become muddled to the viewer. Be sure to find sharp contrasts within the color palette of your logo and shirt so it is easy to read. If your brand has a particular Pantone color, bring that number to your printer, so you’ll get the closest match possible.

Quality

Pick the level of quality for comfort, style, and price that plays to your best advantage. Is the shirt for an ongoing marketing effort? Is it for a one-time event? How fashionable must it be if you want people to keep wearing it? Have a basic understanding of the different T-shirt fabrics because not all of them are suitable for screen printing.

The Order Is In: Review, Revision, and Approval

When working with a professional designer and printer, you should already avoid the design and ordering pitfalls.

Check for Minor Errors

Even so, look at a mock-up as close to the finished product as possible, if time allows. Check it once more for accuracy, including all spellings, letters, and words. This is your final chance to catch any small mistakes.

Taking a few extra minutes to review your order along the way will help you get custom t-shirts everyone will want to wear.

Raising money for charities is so common in today’s society. One of the best and most common ways of doing so is through custom T-shirt printing. Custom T-shirts cover so many bases and serve multiple functions at once. The profits from the original sale of the T-shirts go towards a good cause while the shirt itself acts as a form of advertising for the charity.

Why Custom T-shirts?

Custom T-shirts are an affordable and effective way to raise awareness and money for any charity, foundation or cause. They are also fun to design and create, and custom T-shirts provide a way for more people to get involved with the organization. The design itself can represent what your cause is all about and include a custom caption to make sure the message is clear.

Ordering and Promoting

Once you have the design down, you only need to decide how many you need and place the order. You may already have a great forum in mind for selling them, or you can use multiple online platforms that help people sell T-shirts for charity. No matter the plan, these represent a great way to raise money and promote your good cause.

Consider the Reasons To Do It

However, you may still not be convinced. Although it is straightforward and affordable to create custom T-shirts, you may wonder if it is effective. Don’t worry. If you are still unsure if custom T-shirt printing is the right way to promote your charity, we have built this list of reasons why you should do so. Keep in mind that these are just a few of the reasons why it’s a good idea as there are many others that we couldn’t fit on here. But this should help clarify any questions regarding why so many people choose to print custom shirts and wear them proudly for charity.

1. All Proceeds Go to Your Charity

While custom printed T-shirts are very affordable for the original purchaser, they can be sold at any price you choose. Depending on the event or venue in which you are selling the T-shirts, the price may vary at different locations and times. Because people know that they are spending money for a good cause, they will often be willing to pay more than they normally would for a T-shirt.

Profitable and Flexible

You can then take the profits and divide them however it is necessary. T-shirts provide a great way of earning money towards your cause while providing the freedom to set and change your price. Because they are so affordable to order, custom T-shirts are almost ALL profit.

2. (Almost) Free Advertising

Aside from the original price of the order, you will not pay any more for this great source of advertising. Interested people may ask the wearer right away or Google it at home later. Either way, the shirt creates an almost unlimited source of advertising for your cause.

Mobile Billboards

Even if the T-shirt is designed for one particular event, such as charity runs, an annual fundraising event or a trivia night, people will often continue to wear them for long after the event finishes. If the design directly promotes your cause and not a specific event, even better.

3. Wear With Pride

Have you seen someone walking down the street, proudly wearing a T-shirt with something about a fundraiser, church, charity event or other logo relating to a good cause? This not only intrigues those who see the shirt, but it gives the wearer a sense of pride. This creates a cycle of continuous advertising and happy purchasers.

Ongoing Promotion

Many people will continue to wear custom charity T-shirts long after the original event for which they are created. This acts as an ongoing promotion for the cause.

4. Sell Anywhere

Custom T-shirts can be sold on multiple platforms and in more forums than most T-shirts. They are most commonly sold at charity events or fundraisers, but they can also be kept on-site at your headquarters or sold at community events.

In-Person and Online

Some businesses will help you to sell your T-shirts, some of them will contribute to the cause. This improves the reputation of the business while helping you raise money and promote awareness of your good cause. There are also several websites that specialize in helping your sell your T-shirts for charity.

5. Fun to Create

Designing and creating the custom T-shirts is half the fun.

Getting Involved

This allows for more people to become involved in your charity while having fun at the same time. As a result, they become more loyal and dedicated to the cause.

You can create a stellar design that represents your charity or brand with pride!

Chances are you probably employ multiple marketing strategies to promote your business. Many of them are online and involve social media and Google Analytics. However, there's something to be said for the fundamentals of advertising. Cheap custom t-shirts are your walking billboard to get the name of your business into the world. If you have an attractive and eye-catching shirt, people will want it. They will also remember the name of your business and make the extra effort to look up your company online. The best way to create a great shirt is to hire a graphic designer. A professional knows best what types fonts and colors to put together to make the most positive impact on those who see it.

Making Your Shirts

Several steps go into designing cheap custom t-shirts for your brand. Follow these steps to make the best use of your advertising dollars.

Include your logo.

The first thing that you need on your t-shirts is your company logo. Your logo can serve two purposes. It grabs attention as well as showcases the name of your company. Your graphic designer will be able to guide you in the design of your logo. It may require a redesign to be effective on a t-shirt. This is an effective way to show off your company.

Include an attention-grabbing graphic or short quote.

If your logo isn't enough or you want something more eye-catching, you can use other graphics.  Consider using different images to showcase the company and its offerings. These can be compelling, comical, or highly descriptive. They differ from the logo to create more detailed imagery associated with what the company offers.  These types of images can be strategically placed on the front and back of custom t-shirts. The idea is to visually appeal to those who see the shirt, so they remember it – and your business. Your graphic designer can help you think outside the box.

Don't forget about the back of the shirt.

The back of the shirt can be a perfect place to add additional content. You could use it for an image or list your company's locations. The back is an additional blank canvas, so don't dismiss it before weighing the cost of its true potential. Use both sides of the t-shirt for maximum impact.

Use colors.

Color can be your best friend, depending on the hue you use. White t-shirts are rather generic for certain business promotions. Often it is a good idea to work with your graphic designer and your printer to find a viable alternative. The color you choose for your cheap custom t-shirts should complement the colors you use in your logo and printed materials.

Include business contact information.

Try to include your business's contact information on the shirt if there is room for it. It should also fit with the other motifs you have on the shirt. If this doesn't make sense, make sure your company's name is easy to read. It needs to be visible to get noticed. The name of your company should register in the mind of whoever sees the shirt. You want them to remember it so when they are inspired by your design. This encourages people to look up your company. If you can’t fit contact information, consider putting a URL somewhere on the shirt.

Choose a soft and high-quality material for your shirts.

Lastly, make sure you choose the material with comfort in mind. Cheap custom t-shirts are supposed to be comfortable as well as easy to wash and dry. If the material is thin or rough, no one will wear them even if you give them away.

How to Get Your T-Shirts Out Into the World

Give away your cheap custom t-shirts using a few tactics. This is where your investment in your t-shirts comes into play the most.

Give them to your employees.

The first people to get these shirts are your employees. Give them away for free and let them wear them if you have casual Friday at your office. This will get more people to wear them, and then they will be seen wherever your employees go that day.

Give them to your customers.

You could offer them free with qualifying purchases or you could have a contest to give them away to customers. It's also a good idea to bring them to any trade shows that your company participates in and give them away for free there as well. Sponsoring a local sports team is another way to get your business name on t-shirts many people will see.

Sell specialty shirts.

Once your company is established, you could then begin to think about selling the shirts. You want to start out giving them away for free, but eventually, you may look into selling specialty or limited-edition shirts. This adds value to your t-shirts and your company.

T-shirts continue to be one of the most effective ways to market all types of business. Consult with a graphic designer today to create cheap custom t-shirts that help get your business recognized.

TakeHold Printing specializes in custom screen printed t-shirt, but one aspect that separates us from other screen printers in the Nashville and Hendersonville area is that we print shirts for cheap. We want our customers to know that we have cut cost in order to save them money and make custom, cheap screen printed t-shits a hassle free and simple process.Creating custom t-shirts does not have to be complicated, nor does it need to be expensive. Pricing is based on a few simple details: colors present in the design, t-shirt brand and quantity.
If you are looking to reduce cost, the first place we always suggest is going to be artwork. The majority of time an artwork piece can be reduced to 1-2 colors without comprising the integrity of the overall piece. We also look to reduce the number of locations for artwork. For example, if you want your 4 color logo on the front and a 2 color design on the back, then we might suggest reducing the front and back to 1-2 colors. So often we see artwork that has multiple shades of the same color, in which we will also suggest to unify the piece by making all the blues, reds, greens, etc. the same shade.
Secondly lets think brand. Just like with any other market, we have a high end shirt and a shirt that is more cost efficient. I would estimate that 80 percent of our shirts ordered would be a Gildan G5000, which is a fantastic option for large purchases and modest budgets. This makes printing cheap, custom t-shirts easy and affordable! If you are looking to invest in a higher quality shirt , that option is available too. As stated previously, we have cut cost to make sure that even the top of the line shirt is affordable too.
Lastly, one way that you can print a cheap, custom t-shirt is by ordering more. The saying is true that less is more, and this happens to apply to screen printing as well. Essentially, the lower quantity shirt you purchase the more expensive the order will be, but as you increase quantity, overall price decreases. We typically start orders at 24 and regardless of the occasion, we always suggest to order more.
TakeHold Printing cannot wait to help you bring your t-shirts to life. In the process of doing so, we offer a printing service that exceeds our competitors not only in service but price too.

We have a devoted team who is ready to help with artwork design, skilled at finding ways to reduce cost and printers who have a keen eye for excellence. Here are some suggestions we recommend for printing custom made t-shirts for family reunions (or any event).

Give yourself plenty of time: Although our turn around time is typically a week, we always ask for a little more wiggle room, if time permits. Rounding up family members t-shirt sizes while creating a design element that everyone agrees on may take more time than you’ve allotted for; therefore, give yourself plenty of time to plan for the unexpected. This is also useful if you need to devote more time to the artwork design or have questions about how the design will look on the t-shirt.

Monthly specials: At the beginning of the month, we like to give our clients monthly specials. In  most cases, they are for a Gildan t-shirt with a 1 color design (disclaimer: these are subject to change at any time). This is perfect for a custom printed t-shirt because in most cases this fits the criteria for an order, or you have the option to fit our specials around your design! This is a great way to utilize our specials to accommodate  your budget while creating a memorable shirt to honor your family.

Regardless of your budget or design element, we want to help you create a unique and memorable screen printed t-shirt that every family member will enjoy. The wonderful advantage to screen printed t-shirts is that regardless of the occasion, we have the team ready to bring your t-shirts to life!  Not sure where to go from here? Simply submit a request through our online price generator at www.takeholdprinting.com or email us at [email protected] with a breakdown of sizes, artwork design (Art Files We Love: .Ai, .EPS & PDF), an approximate due date, and whether or not you’ll need shipping!

It’s no secret. The end of December is upon us along with the winter drag. Football is on the downward, while the winter/spring sports are getting ready to gear up (no pun intended). Sports that we typically print for this time around of year include, but not limited to are basketball, soccer, and baseball. Regardless of what you need, we have the upper hand when it pertains to customer service, availability, and expertise that accompanies custom screen printing.

Many organizations provide our company with jersey’s they plan to have printed; however, it is not uncommon for a customer to request shirts, especially if they are for practices or scrimmages that can be used over and over again. We typically recommend a DryFit product or a performance shirt from Gildan; both are fantastic options that have an incredible shelf life.

Many customers often inquire about the different techniques that we use for names and numbers on jerseys. In most cases, we often encourage our customers to have school or church logos screen printed and for names and numbers we often heat press vinyl lettering on the backs. There are many common misconception regarding vinyl; most individuals regard vinyl as cheap or lack the proper sturdiness needed to hold up after multiple washes. Just the opposite in fact! While this is true of something you might find in your local discount store, which is ironed on and then eventually washes away, TakeHold uses a higher quality vinyl that is heat pressed at over 300 degrees. This approach is used primarily with jerseys because they, in most cases, contain small holes within the fabric.

Regardless of the request or the need, we are you one-stop-shop for exceptional service and quality printing. We will do whatever we can to bring your ideas to life 🙂

If you have a printing inquiry, please do not hesitate to contact us via email, [email protected] or by phone at 615.943.1402.

Custom screen printing in the Fall can be quite an adventure; we really have no clue what creative artwork is going to fall into our laps to print. It seems that the transition from warm breezing days to cool nights are upon us, which also leaves our eyes overwhelmed with the breathtaking beauty of Fall weather. The leaves have begun their transition from vibrant green to radiant burst of yellows and reds, which means that sweaters, leggings, and hoodies (don't’ forget scarves, too!) will soon make their regular appearance into your wardrobe. We wanted to write about something a little different today; three garment options that we offer our customers and pro’s and con’s associated with each.

The first garment that we suggest for custom screen printing in the fall is the Next Level 6021. With a 50% polyester make up and extremely lightweight material, this hoodied shirt is perfect for just about any occasion. Next Level offers this Tri-Blend Long Sleeve Hoody in 10 colors ranging from XS-2XL. Next Levels are considered to be 'premium' among the shirt population The downside, at least in my professional opinion, is that Next Level garments are more form fitting than your standard shirt, slightly more expensive and not quiet as economical as its counterpart, Gildan, and they do tend to run a bit smaller in terms of fit.

The second option that we suggest is the Gildan G92500 Premium Cotton Adult Hoodie. This is a great option for everyday wear! One positive remark I will make towards Gildan is about the quality of shirt; it will last forever! This hoodie has a much heavier feel compared to its counterpart, Next Level; however, it will leave you perfectly comfortable during those chilly fall nights! Again, Gildan offers 10 color options for this particular hoodie with colors ranging from sports grey, black, red, and forest green.

Last but not least, the Anvil A71600 is a more ‘hip’ option if you have a client whose younger or into the music scene. This is your go to option for style, because it’s your classic zip up hoodie with a pop of style. Anvil also offers this hoodie in sizes that range from S-3XL with a 10 color swatch option. This hoodie paired with their Adult Ringer Tee (Anvil A923) is a creative and stylish option for any 20 something looking to make it in the music scene.

If these three options for winter wear do not fit your style or budget, then there are multiple options that we offer. Please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email if you have any questions pertaining to winter weather wear! We are happy to assist with any questions that you might have!

We have witnessed an overwhelming amount of customized screen printed t-shirt orders that are supporting organizations and events anchored in helping spread awareness; awareness regarding cancer, animal rescue, and memorials in honor of those who have passed away. It’s really difficult to know how you will respond in stressful situations, even more so to life events that will change the trajectory of the path you find yourself on. These stories aren’t too far from our grasp; just take a moment to pause and you will find someone close to you is suffering from something. It’s not that we write about this topic lightly; in fact, just the opposite.

One event that spurs to mind is the October, which happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We have seen multiple orders that have requested t-shirts, specifically around events focused on breast cancer. The magnitude of the outreach is significant, and although our hope is that cancer will become radically extinct in the near future, we are certainly willing to do whatever we can in order to print a t-shirt that will help with the cause.

Here are 2 helpful components to ordering t-shirts:

Chose the right t-shirt: For large scale events, such as runs, walks, or charity events, Gildan, preferably G5000, is your safest bet. Not only is the Gildan budget friendly, but it will stand up to the elements of weather and wash. We certainly have clients who prefer something a little more premium; in that regard we suggest Next Level Tri-Blend. These t-shirts are going to be a little more costly than Gildan, but they have more sophisticated and elegant look.

Order ahead of time: Nothing good can come from ordering at the last minute. Save yourself the headache and order ahead of time! There are a few vital pieces of information that we suggest from our clients before they place an order: due date, pick up or shipping, quantity and breakdown of sizes, and artwork files that we can manage. And what I mean by that is not some image that has been recycled from Google, but an image that has been created with a program such as Illustrator or PhotoShop. This is so  we can throughly manipulate it (separate colors) during the screen process.

Let’s bring your customized t-shirts to life! We are always available by phone or via email; we welcome the opportunity to work with you in any way possible.

Are you in the market for a custom screen printed fall garment? We can help! We love printing designs that are intertwined with fall events such as football, school events, or even fall weddings!

We have been printing copious amounts of Fall fashion in anticipation for the cooler days ahead. The air is starting to feel a little more crisp, the leaves will soon do their usual dance of vibrant orange and yellows and eventually the cooler temperatures will make way for the chilling winter months. How incredible would it be to be fully prepared with a long sleeve Next Level or a Gildan Hoodie to keep the cool of Fall off your shoulders?

3 Suggestions for printing fall garments

  1. Take advantage: We recommend taking advantage of our online design studio when looking for ways to spark an idea for custom made t-shirts. We have made this so user friendly, accessible and best of all FREE. We want our customers to know that we appreciate their business, so we have put a great deal of thought into helping them create their very own custom t-shirt.
  2. Think ahead: When planning for a large event  where shirts are needed in bulk, we suggest to all of our clientele to think ahead. Go ahead and start thinking of art ideas, where you want that artwork to be placed, and how much detail the design will entail. Regardless of what you are needing, our suggestion is to make it fun and exciting! These are all important factors to consider before placing your next custom t-shirt order.
  3. Garment: It is important to think ahead about the particular garment that you are interested in using. If you are needing to save money, then we will always point you in the direction of Gildan; they are durable, reliable, and a blend that holds up well for your flag football team! If you are wanting something that is a step up in quality and feels a little more soft, we suggest Next Level.

Whether its design help or thinking creatively about about placement for a particular design, we are available to help in any way we can. Please do not hesitate to contact us via email or by phone!

As we approach the tail end of summer days, there are a number of upcoming festivals and events making their way into the Nashville area. We are eager to capture the attention and business of infamous events in the next few months. Here are several services that we can offer you, as the consumer, and for businesses that hosts these events.

The first services that we know would be invaluable to you and the event is a custom screen printed t-shirt that displays the originality of the event. For example, the upcoming Tomato Fest in East Nashville had 8,000 custom screen printed t-shirts made to give out to showcase and help consumers remember the event. That is what we hope to achieve by printing for Nashville events!

The second service that we can offer you is vinyl lettering and heat pressing. Lets say, for example, that you only need 15 shirts for a group who is going to Live on the Green, but know that custom screen printed t-shirts are out of your budget. What is your next option? We like to offer customers the opportunity to purchase a shirt where ink is replaced by vinyl lettering. What are the benefits? Time and money; two areas we always want to save in!

Lastly, we offer our free design help located on our website, and is something we have recently added to our website that we believe is an indispensable tool and asset to our customers. This helps eliminate error and gives our clients the ability to remain in control of the design process the entire time. You pick you style, font, ink color, proximity and layout of design on the shirt, and much more!

It’s that time again! School supplies have made their way back to the center aisles in our grocery stores, and I can already hear the whining come from the mouths of our children protesting the onset of the inevitable: a new school year. Regardless of whether or not you have a child attending Kindergarten or making their way to college, we, at TakeHold Printing, want to help our schools print the perfect t-shirt!

 3 Suggestions for Back to School Custom T-Shirt Printing:

 Make your shirts fun! We suggest using wild colors to attract the attention of your students and have fun with the design! We also suggest that our clients take full advantage of our design studio on our website, which is extremely helpful when designing a custom screen printed t-shirt. This tool can help narrow down color selections, font size, size of design, and other questions that you might have, pertaining to your custom screen printed t-shirt.

If you are looking to attract the attention of your students and parents, then we suggest creating a shirt that speaks to the mission of your school and what you are seeking to accomplish. Maybe this shirt is for an upcoming event or a back to school bash. Regardless of the event, custom screen printed t-shirts are a great way to unify all students and faculty! Who knows, it might even bring a little excitement (and less grumbling) to the new year!

We also suggest that schools takes advantage of our discount and promotional offers. These incentives work great for organizations, schools in particular, that need a large amount of shirts but are looking to keep the cost reasonably low. If you are looking for a steal, then we suggest keeping an eye out for our regular, monthly emails or give us a call at 615.943.1402 to see if we are running a special!

Here at TakeHold Printing we want to introduce our customers, and potential customers, to the concept of the 4 dollar t-shirt! If you are in the market for high quality custom screen printed t-shirts and are looking to save a buck (or two!), then we want to let you know there is a way to purchase our 4 dollar tee!  We have compiled a list of three simple, yet effective, ways to reduce your shirt cost!

1. The first tip that we suggest is using an affordable t-shirt brand, such as Gildan or Comfort Colors. If you are ordering a large amount of t-shirts, we always suggest Gildan because they are practical, affordable, and a very durable t-shirt. We have used Gildan t-shirts for mud runs, marathons, construction companies, and even preschool functions. Why? Because they are the most practical and cost effective t-shirt that you can purchase!

2. Although using an affordable t-shirt brand, such as Gildan, is extremely cost effecient, we also recommend ordering higher quantities of shirts to offset the cost of each shirt. For example, a shirt order that contains 50 shirts will be more expensive, per shirt, than ordering 200 shirts. If you are looking to save some money then this is definitely the easiest way to do so!

3. Lastly, we want to cover the topic of artwork. I realize that this might surprise our customers; however, our goal is always to inform and educate our customers on tips and tricks to save money. Artwork cost is determined by the amount of colors present in a particular design; therefore, colors present equal and determine the amount of screens that a printer must use (more screens = higher print cost/ less screens=lower print cost). The more simple the artwork, in terms of colors present, means that less screen will be used, thus the cost remains affordable. We recommend simplifying artwork as much as possible to get the best bang for your buck.

So there you have it- 3 simple, yet effective ways to purchase your 4 dollar t-shirt! Three factors that we guarantee will play a major role in decreasing the cost of t-shirt and help you save money! If you would like more information pertaining to this post or have questions regarding the 4 dollar t-shirts, please call or email us today!

There are many different ways to brand your custom screen printed t-shirt, and our hope is that this blog will give you some insight on a few different techniques to brand your shirts!

The first piece of advice that we have for our clients is to build a relationship with a specific printer. We advise you to sit down with your printer and let them know about plans pertaining to your custom t-shirt design. From this point your printer should have a good vision for where you are planning to go, and they can advise you on what they feel is best for the shirt, print colors, and size, while keeping the integrity of the vision you have implemented.

The second piece of advise is to explore different tag items. Typically most shirts come with an inside tag, however, some shirts will also have a tag on the bottom of the t-shirt. We propose that you use a design company to create customizable tags that will showcase your brand name and any other information that you deem relevant. This is a perfect way to show your customers what kind of quality they can expect to see from your custom t-shirt line and the kind of care you’ve put into creating a brand they will want to share with their friends.

Lastly, we advise all our customers to explore a versatile market for the their custom t-shirt line. We see so many our customers create spectacular t-shirts, but they seem to always market towards adults and tweens. However, baby, toddler, and even youth sized shirt seem to always get left out of the mix for some unknown reason.  We suggest that you always try to find new ways to expand your clientele and think outside of the box! And, of course we want to help you succeed in doing so!

Regardless of where you are with your custom screen printed t-shirt line, we want to help you make a brand for yourself! If you would like to speak in further detail about middlemen that we use or suggest, or have questions pertaining to starting your very own custom screen printed t-shirt line, do not hesitate to contact us through phone or email!

If you live in the Hendersonville area, or close by, and are in need of custom screen printed t-shirts, then TakeHold Printing has the expertise, friendly staff, and community recognition to print a quality shirt!  Some of the business that we seek to serve are small business, large businesses, such as Dollar General and ACE, and other organizations that include but not limited to, schools, restaurants, and landscaping businesses.

Are you in a need a custom screen printed shirt that will help or promote your business, while not breaking the bank? At TakeHold Printing we offer a 3-4 day turnaround time, ease and affordability, and impeccable customer service. Another service that we recently added, in addition to custom screen printing, for our customers, is vinyl printing for shirts and signs. Are you in need of 1 or 2 shirts for a specific event and need them now? Perfect! Vinyl lettering on shirts is the way to go! It is much more cost effective than custom screen printing and turnaround times, for the most part, are quicker as well!

We also offer our design studio on our website that makes generating a visual mock-up of your shirt easy to adjust, based on your needs.

Have you been searching the Nashville area for a local screen printer who specializes in custom screen printed VBS shirts? With summer in full swing, one commonality that I have noticed is the enormity of VBS going on around us! We would love to help you create your custom VBS shirts- ones that will reflect your VBS theme.

I have such vivid memories of growing up and being taken to VBS for that one week out of the summer. It typically began with singing and dancing which led to snacks and hanging out with your friends, and ending with a variety of arts and crafts. The other aspect of VBS that I loved was being able to wear the custom t-shirts that had been printed for that particular week and theme. It was a way to really showcase what the church was trying to emphasize. Over the past few years we have worked with several large organizations who host VBS, and we help them create a one of a kind custom screen printed t-shirt. Some have been extremely elaborate, while others have been very simply in their design. Regardless, we dedicate a generous amount of time with each client to ensure they have the best quality shirt and design for their budget.

Here are three reasons how custom screen printed VBS shirts can be useful:

  1. They send a message: Shirts can send a message loud and clear to children, other workers, parents, and anyone who can see the shirt. They allow your audience to grasp the message that you are trying to convey for that one week!
  2. They can be used to show authority: While this may seem silly, one important aspect of any event with children is their safety. Why not create multiple shirts or a variation of a shirt to separate the children from leaders?
  3. T-shirts are inexpensive: Don’t let the “custom” fool you into thinking they are too expensive for your budget. Think of it in these terms: the more detailed the artwork (meaning more colors) the more expensive printing becomes. Thus, something simple, one to two colors, means that you are saving more money than you think!

Have questions or need direction with printing custom t-shirts for VBS or any event going on this summer? Please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] so that we can walk through the steps and get your quote started today! Make this VBS one that is exceptionally memorable!

There are many events in Nashville that take place in and around the summer time. Those include, but are not limited to: the CMA Festival, Brew at the Zoo, and The Music City Hot Chicken Festival. Let us, at TakeHold Printing, help you create the perfect t-shirt to fit each unique event experience. Whether its creating a bright red tomato shirt for the Tomato Art Fest or a unique looking Shakespeare Shirt that will be sure to be the talk of the park, we want to help you with all your printing needs! Here are three tips we suggest for your Nashville event shirts!

1. Make it funky: The best part about Nashville events is that they are extremely eclectic. One weekend you might be celebrating the country music stars and the following weekend you could be dancing away with Shakespeare in the Park. Why not create a shirt that speaks volumes to the personality of Nashville’s events? Contact us today to let us help you with the creative elements of the shirt design.

2. Think ahead: If you are going to order shirts for an event then you should always plan ahead! Summer is our busiest time due to the influx of events in the Nashville, Hendersonville, and surroundings areas: therefore, let us know ahead of time what you are needing! Planning ahead gives our customers time to think about their shirt design, pinpoint the exact colors they want, and to create the best product possible.

3. Help us to help you: We want to simplify this process as best as we can. Therefore, we suggest, to all our clients, to follow this simple process: pick your shirt color, pick the ink that you believe will compliment the shirts and artwork, email us your design and let us do the rest! No need to worry, this is what we love doing! We want to alleviate any and all stress or anxiety that you may feel about the process and enjoy letting us do all the work!

Regardless of whether or not you plan on making a shirt for an event in Nashville this summer of its something completely unrelated, our number goal is to take the stress of ordering shirts off you! We enjoy helping our clients create a lasting and memorable shirt!

We recently printed some t-shirts that looked phenomenal; however, there was a bit of color confusion when the customers picked up the shirts. The shirt order was a upper level pink shirt with pink and black writing on the front and back. Easy enough on our part; we sent the mock-up and the customer approved. However, when the customer came to pick up the shirts, the pink ink that was used on the shirt was not the pink that he had envisioned in his mind. How do we rectify this color confusion and alleviate the problem with color matching? Here are a few ways that we can help you out with color matching:

We suggests that our customers come in and look through our standard color guide that we use. This is a sheet that allows you to see, first hand, what the ink color will look like. For example, you might think you want magenta on a pink shirt; however, upon reviewing our standard color guide you may notice that magenta is actually too red and not enough pink. Then what should you do? We suggest that our clients pick another ink color that we have. We can also mix colors together to create the perfect shade that you need.

Another option that we suggest for our customers is providing us with a pantone color number. We also recommend that customers use our pantone matching color system (PMS) and then give us the number so that the ink is perfect and meets your expectations. We want our customers to be 100% satisfied so it is important that keep an honest dialog with our clients and our clients tell us exactly what they have in mind. We ask our customers to communicate every need and detail that they might have!

Our desire is to alleviate any color confusion that might incur during the printing process, because we want to make sure that the customer is ultimately satisfied with the ink color. If you have any questions regarding ink color or our pantone matching color system (PMS), please do not hesitate to contact us at 615.943.1402 or email us at takeholdprinting.com

TakeHold Printing wants to help you design your custom t-shirt now! We are a local screen printer located right outside of Nashville who specializes in custom t-shirt designs and design ideas. We recently just launched our design lab and want you to know some key features that will help with your future purchase.

One new feature the design lab offers is the ability to upload artwork directly to the shirt. From here you can pick color options, such as taking out or adding color, zooming to view direct placement of image, and front and back images of shirt. This will help minimize error and allow you to see the image before it is printed.

The second feature that we want you to know about is the creative aspect of our lab. Are you fresh out of ideas and need that spark? We have built in ideas to help you narrow down what you want to print on the shirts. Maybe you need something campus or college related but don’t have time to sit down and create an image. Perfect! Let our designs lab do all the work for you by implementing our generated clip art onto the shirt. It is easy, efficient, and stress free!

Lastly, the third feature that we want you to be aware of is actually not a feature at all but we are available for artwork help when you need us. We try to work alongside our customers telling them exactly what they need for artwork and helping them with any technical that may arise. For printing purposes we ask that we receive an .ai file or at least 300-350 dpi high resolution image. This will ensure that the when the artwork is printed there is minimal issues with the image becoming distorted or pixelated.

We hope that you will take advantage of our new design studio. We also hope that by adding this element to our website that it will help our customers with their custom t-shirts and printing needs. If you need more information regarding artwork or need pricing information, please do not hesitate to contact us at 615.943.1402 or email us directly at [email protected]

We want to share with you  what we think is the best artwork practices for custom screen printing. Nashville has many screen printers but we are here to show you that we are different than all the rest!  Are you considering the idea of ordering custom t-shirts for an event or for personal preference? Not only will TakeHold save you time and money, we will gladly walk you through the process from start to finish. One of the more rewarding aspects of our jobs is to educate our customers on the many steps that we use in order to complete the perfect t-shirt! The most important component of the process is your artwork. Are you ready to be educated? Great! Here are three aspects of the importance of artwork that you never knew!

1.DPI matters: Have you ever taken a picture on your phone and posted it to social media, only to print it later on but the image turned out to be grainy and pixelated? That’s because the dpi of the image was not high enough to print a quality photo. We’ve all had it happen and its absolutely infuriating. The same goes for screen printing. We prefer to work with files that are anywhere from 200-300 dpi (dot per inch). Basically, in layman’s terms when the quality is poor then the quality of prodcut on the t-shirt is likely to suffer; however, when the quality meets the guidelines we have laid out then you are guaranteed a t-shirt that will leave you speechless!

2. Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop: Ok, so what about it? The truth is we are Apple snobs around here, but the reality is that in our business we want to print a t-shirt that exceeds every expectation that you may have. In order to do that we have to work with the best programs out there, which happens to be adobe illustrator and photoshop. Typically these are vector based .ai or .eps files, or high resolution pixel-baed images (BMP, JPG, PNG) that are at least 200-300 dpi (theres that word again!).

3. Ideas everywhere: Maybe you’re like me- the least creative person on the planet. 25 years later and some serious self awareness, I take responsibility for the fact that I’ll never, ever be creative. Yes, I have creative ideas but I need help executing them. We have devoted our entire team (and work ethic) to making this process stress free. Therefore, we offer several packages for artwork; simple, starter, standard, silver and gold (read about it here: https://takeholdprinting.com/art-pricing/).You send us an your idea and we turn your thoughts into tangible, printed shirts!

We want to share with you why are the number one for screen printing Nashville, TN!
I was driving home the other day with my child singing in the background at the top of her lungs, I had one of those rare moments where time seems to stand perfectly still for a moment. In the horizon I could see Nashville, the brilliance and radiance of the city illuminating off the streets and it reminded me why I love this city so very much.

Maybe you have a city that captures your heart and steals your breath away like Nashville does to me. There is nothing more entrancing than seeing home just over the horizon and realizing that home, Nashville, is an area known for its diverse populous and uncharted opportunities. The enticing views, collective groups of unique people, and culture that resinates at every turn are just a number of reasons why I enjoy this city so much. So why is this important and necessary knowledge? Because as screen printers in Nashville, we are always anxious to seize opportunities to expand our business and seek out different clientele and for me this is exactly what Nashville represents. And, if there are any cities that possess exponential potential then it is Nashville!

One particular clientele that we enjoy working with is clients who qualify for wholesale or contract pricing.  We accept so many requests from individuals who are acting as the middle man for their clients and we are eager to accommodate their need for wholesale pricing, especially clients who continually order large quantities of shirts. Now, please do not misunderstand my phrasing and think that this is for the elite or only for the order that contains 2500 shirts! If that’s the case, then who qualifies? Well, I’m glad you ask 🙂

The three most common companies that we work with in terms of bulk printing are:

Church: Churches hold a reputation for always having functions which means they are always in need of a medium for their message. Luckily for us, that is almost always a t-shirt! Between large gatherings such as conferences or summer camp, there is always a need for a t-shirt to be printed that portrays a particular message!

Schools: I remember when I was in college that every week leading up to homecoming there were enormous amounts of function at our University Center which meant there was ALWAYS a free t-shirt. And, I loved it! I cannot tell you how many t-shirts I have accumulated over the years I spent there. And because there are so many local schools and colleges in the Mid-State, we are always eager for more clientele.

Local Bands- Whether you live in Nashville or have only ever dreamed of visiting, we are famous for our music. Between the Grand Ole Opry, The Ryman, or BMI there are so many opportunities for local bands to make it big! And as most you know, all bands whether starting out or who have made it all see one common piece of merchandise, T-shirts!

Are you in the market for a custom t-shirt or possibly wondering how you can design your own t-shirt? Great, then this blog is exactly for you! At TakeHold Printing we appreciate systems, especially ones that are geared towards maximum efficiency for ourselves and more importantly our customers; therefore, we have created a portion of our website to help you bring your vision of a t-shirt alive!

Here are three options to chose from from when you are needing to create a shirt:

The first option is geared towards the customer who knows precisely what they need their shirt to say and where the placement of text or logo needs to go. This customer can simply click on the “Design Studio” tab and upload their image onto our model. This will generate an exact replica of what your shirt will look like and in a matter of moments you have just created your t-shirt. Now you are ready to proceed to checkout!

The second option that we offer our customers is geared towards someone who knows they need a custom made shirt but may need help generating an idea. For example, lets say that you love Christmas and wanted to print a shirt with something related but can’t quite narrow down an idea. You are in luck because we have an easy tool built in to make this process easier and less time consuming for you. Again, simply click on our “Design Studio” tab then click on “Clip Art” tab from the menu. From here you will send multiple tabs pop up with generic ideas that will help you pick a specific image. Once that image has been selected you now have the option to manipulate color, size, and placement of the image.

The third option that we offer our customers is a custom made piece that we will design for you. Lets say that you do not have an idea of what image you want and the clipart that we have provided does not match your vision, no problem! Simply call us at 615.943.1402 or send us an email ([email protected]) to speak with someone regarding the ideas you have and we will help create a custom creation specifically tailored towards your preference. From here we will design the image and send you a visual mock-up of your shirt!

This new design tool not only allows for immediate visual representation of your custom made shirt but it allows you the freedom to create this on your own time. We hope to save you time and energy and make the process of creating t-shirt easy as 1,2,3!

We can all breathe a little easier now that Christmas has come and gone because by now you are probably back in the swing of normalcy and weekly routines. To some the holidays are a reflective season, one that imprints memories both old and new. Maybe you are like me and you are trying to reminisce times of unapologetic togetherness and warmth of family, or maybe you are engulfed by the busyness of creating the memories you want for your own family.

One practice that we at TakeHold Printing want to be known for in 2014 is the act of sacrificial giving. Although it goes against the grain and intent of our Americanized society, the truth is that giving is much more gratifying and rewarding than receiving. We decided to start off 2014 with something a little different, meaning we will be donating a percentage of our profits to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

According to St. Jude’s (2013) their mission is simply this:

The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

So, by now I assume you are wondering that magical question..why? Why would we pick St. Jude’s among so many terrific organizations? The truth is that we appreciate their main mission is to confront disease head on despite race, gender, or financial ability and that their love for children compels them to fight relentlessly for a cure. We feel a passion for giving to this organization and allowing our customers to be a part of the process because that is where the true connect lies. We hope our small act of generosity will inspire you to begin a dialog within yourself and search for what truly matters. Find a cause, one that stirs your heart, and join the fight. Because despite the initial sting of sacrifice you might feel, the feeling of unwavering dedication to a cure, ending world hunger, or orphans, etc. supersedes any momentary “feeling” that your new gadget from Christmas might provide.

So, I was standing in my kitchen this morning eating on the go, per my normal routine, when I looked over and noticed a lunch box hanging on the door handle. In the center it stated, “Promotional Products Work!” Although I could not decipher the company’s name, I know first hand that the message is spot on.

Yes, it’s true, a lunch box is a great promotional tool, but an even better way to display a promotional message is a t-shirt! I don’t know about you all in the cyber world, but I happen to love a free t-shirt.

 

  1. T-shirts allow you to promote before the event occurs: Why not print 50 shirts and have them sent out or worn before your event occurs? This is a great way for conversation to begin about your event, organization, or outreach program you are trying to promote! The beautiful element to a t-shirt is that there are no limitations, they are fairly inexpensive to print and sell, and they can be recycled if the event is reoccurring.
  2. T-shirts are not just a promotional avenue but they send a message: Lets face it, we have all seen some really incredible t-shirts, such as to Write Love on Her Arms, but we have also seen some sloppy work done, too. Nevertheless, each shirt displays a message to a particular audience.. For example, at the beginning of 2013 I attended  the Passion Conference in Atlanta with 20 or so high schoolers- it was an exceptional experience to say the least! Days were filled with passionate speakers, incredibly charismatic worship, and one unifying message spoken over and over again- END IT MOVEMENT. Want to know how they promoted this message that I have seen countless times hundreds of miles away? A bright red X marked on  t-shirts, hats, and whatever other materials they could print on. Want to know why? Because of the message its transmitting to my brain without any spoken words. Regardless of your views on church, slavery, or politics we all know that t-shirts are just one of many mediums for our messages to be displayed to the world!
  3. T-Shirts are a customized piece: Want 4 letters? Done! Want a big bright X? Done! Want a picture of some really bad beach photos where your kids are screaming and some random guy is photo bombing it? Done! T-shirts are an excellent place to let the creativity flow because the designs and opportunities are endless! Also, t-shirts are extremely versatile, meaning they look great on young, older, men, women, or even children.

 

So there you have it, three reasons why t-shirts are versatile and a great way to promote any event or message! Let us help you craft your vision into a reality- one that you can express to the world!

 

In the screen printing business there is one common and very popular misconception about sample shirts. We see a lot of customers request one shirt to ensure that their vision translates perfectly; however, the unfortunate reality is that sample printing is very  timely and costly. So, I thought we could share the process to let you know how labor intensive screen printing can be.

To begin, the art must be prepped for the print. In order to do this the design is separated by color into different layers. You see, for each color that is present in your design represents one screen. For example, 3 colors equals 3 screens. 4 colors equals 4 screens, etc. The next step in the process is film. When your image is printed out, it is bonded to a special type of transparency film. Now remember each layer of the image must require its very own film, which requires us to separate each portion of the image. Therefore, 3 colors equals three separates films.

Still with me?

Good, because this next part is extremely delicate and important so stay with me! Thus far we’ve talked about art work, layering colors, film and words like photo emulsion. Next up is the screen. The artist then takes your film and burns a copy onto a silk screen that has been coated in emulsion, dried, and then placed under an ultraviolet light. Areas that are clear help harden the emulsion and after screens are washed (hosepipe, water, ya know that sort of thing!) the areas of emulsion that were not exposed to light get washed away leaving us a transfer of negative image. Now remember, and this why it’s so time consuming and difficult to do just one sample, we must do this for each layer that’s present in the image.

Each screen is then attached to the press and ink is squeegeed through the screen layer by layer until your final image appears. After this step is completed the shirts are cured by running through an industrial dryer, folded, and shipped off!

Screen printing is a process, a very delicate one that I can guarantee you do not want to rush! It is about pulling apart the image and layering the colors on top of one another and finding the perfect balance within each screen. The beautiful part is that we at TakeHold Printing are more than happy to provide a mock up that will help our clients visualize exactly what the shirt will look like!

It’s really not that complicated....to pick a shirt. And the color. And maybe even the style (Long sleeve, shorts sleeve, pocket tee); however, to some of us in the screen printing business know just how difficult it can appear to certain clients. Possibly even exhausting...

Here are some points to consider before you sit down with your local screen printing company (TakeHold Printing- are there any other options?!) and discuss having  t-shirts printed.

First things first: Think shirt. What is that you are looking for? Is this something you want to cut cost for or is this for your local country club aficionado who knows the fiber count for every shirt hung in his custom made cedar plank closet? This is entirely speculation but, I am betting you are looking for something in the Gildan family or if you really want to shake things up, possibly even Comfort Colors which will run you a little more.

Second: Don’t get hung up on colors. Let face it- you want this shirt to look like you just paid big bucks for it- because chances are you did! But the reality is that there are 10 different hues of green and yellow and orange and blue and pink (get the picture). Anyone looking for your business will gladly and willingly, I might add, help you labor over Irish Green vs Turf Green on top of Daisy. But, the reality is that colors are difficult to pick, so trust your gut and don’t over think it!

Third: Come prepared! Before your initial email or sit down meeting, determine your expectations. Ask questions and let us guide you to a final product that exceeds your expectations. We are more than happy to provide you with a digital catalogue that you can browse over lunch to help you nail down a style, color, etc....this helps us better understand the entire picture and all of your needs.

Fourth: Finally, think outside of the t-shirt!  Bags, towels, aprons, backpacks, and hoodies are all fantastic options to have screen printed. Although T-shirts, specifically the Gildan 5000, are the most common option that businesses go with extend your product line so that your business, cause, or organization can become more versatile!  But whatever you choose, TakeHold Printing is grateful to have your medium to print!

We work with many different t-shirt brands. Customers often ask us to help them select the best brand for their particular need when it comes to custom printed t-shirts. We love helping because that is what we do best. Out of all the brands we show, one brand customers often pick will be Bella & Canvas. Bella & Canvas t-shirts are soft & comfortable. You get a high quality shirt for the price you pay. In the t-shirt world, these shirts are of high value!

Customers simply love them! If you ever have the chance to run your hand over one you know why they are so easy to love. We have a variety of samples in our office, so that customers know what the shirt looks and feels like, before they order! Our goal is to have every customer fully satisfied in the ordering process & when they receive the final product. 

Next time you select a t-shirt brand for screen printing, consider Bella & Canvas! You can’t go wrong!

One concern customers may have when considering Bella & Canvas is the price. It is definitely a more premium shirt. The reason the price is a little bit higher is because quality costs more. The Bella & Canvas brand is top quality all the way and their pricing is simply reflecting that fact. However, If you need hundreds of t-shirts printed, then Bella & Canvas may not be the brand that fits best within your budget. In this case, we will be happy to show you other brands such as Gildan, Next Level, Tultex, and many others. We are experts in helping you get the biggest bang for the t-shirt buck.

Screen Printing in Nashville can be difficult sometimes because everyone seems to want the same style t-shirt. I believe in being different and unique. Being different and standing out should be a goal, and its worth the time to attain it. Here are some helpful tips on being original when you order custom t shirts.

Pick a unique color shirt.

Many times the common colors of a t-shirt will work due to your needs. But other times the color tee could be different than the standard types. Its good to stand out! Many times you may be needing the shirts for an event that's calling you to make a t-shirt to stand out. Using a bright color tee can work well to help this happen. Putting a dark color print can help your design pop off the t shirt. If using a dark color shirt try using light ink colors. If you need help finding a great color to work well with your project feel free to contact us. 

Pick a unique color ink.

After you pick a really fun color for you t-shirt printing project its time to pick a show off color. Remember your not making apparel, but you're making memories. So use fun colors! We have so many types of inks from puff inks to glow in the dark, so if you need help finding a unique ink to help your t shirts stand out feel free to let us help!

Pick the proper garment.

When picking your garment, its good to think about the event and who's going to wear your shirts. If you are part of a school and you're needing shirts for a beta club, then sometimes a standard t shirt will work. But bands love to use a v-neck style tee shirt. We have tons of options to choose from, so feel free to let us know if you needing help picking something out.

Spend time with your design.

Here at TakeHold we see so many people come to us with their design, and more time and effort could have gone into the details to make it truly unique. If your a band and you need to sell t-shirts, then the design on your shirt should be really important. If your a business and your needing custom screen printing then your logo will work most of the time.

Step 1- Know where you would like the design to be printed.

Some common areas are the front chest and the back side of the garment. But you can have your design printed on sleeves, legs, just about anywhere really. The chat below shows the common layout for printing on t-shrits.

Step 2- Know how many colors you want printed.

Do you want a one-color or a full-color? A full-color will cost more then a one-color but the full-color can be printed in a photo- like image. The common amount of colors printed on t-shirts are between 1-3 colors.

The image below will show you the difference between a one color print and a full color. As you can see, having a one color print can still give you a lot of details if the design is done well. Reducing the amount of colors can save you money.

Step 3- Know how large the print should be.

Do you need something just on the chest plate or the whole back side? After you know what you're looking for, feel free to let us know and we can get some design ideas going for you. Remember we offer free art help. So feel free to contact us anytime to price your order.

I was driving home the other day with my child singing in the background at the top of her lungs, I had one of those rare moments where time seems to stand perfectly still for a moment. In the horizon I could see Nashville, the brilliance and radiance of the city illuminating off the streets and it reminded me why I love this city so very much.

Maybe you have a city that captures your heart and steals your breath away like Nashville does to me. There is nothing more entrancing than seeing home just over the horizon and realizing that home, Nashville, is an area known for its diverse populous and uncharted opportunities. The enticing views, collective groups of unique people, and culture that resinates at every turn are just a number of reasons why I enjoy this city so much. So why is this important and necessary knowledge? Because as screen printers in Nashville, we are always anxious to seize opportunities to expand our business and seek out different clientele and for me this is exactly what Nashville represents. And, if there are any cities that possess exponential potential then it is Nashville!

One particular clientele that we enjoy working with is clients who qualify for wholesale or contract pricing.  We accept so many requests from individuals who are acting as the middle man for their clients and we are eager to accommodate their need for wholesale pricing, especially clients who continually order large quantities of shirts. Now, please do not misunderstand my phrasing and think that this is for the elite or only for the order that contains 2500 shirts! If that’s the case, then who qualifies? Well, I’m glad you ask 🙂

The three most common companies that we work with in terms of bulk printing are:

  1. Church: Churches hold a reputation for always having functions which means they are always in need of a medium for their message. Luckily for us, that is almost always a t-shirt! Between large gatherings such as conferences or summer camp, there is always a need for a t-shirt to be printed that portrays a particular message!
  2. Schools: I remember when I was in college that every week leading up to homecoming there were enormous amounts of function at our University Center which meant there was ALWAYS a free t-shirt. And, I loved it! I cannot tell you how many t-shirts I have accumulated over the years I spent there. And because there are so many local schools and colleges in the Mid-State, we are always eager for more clientele.
  3. Local Bands- Whether you live in Nashville or have only ever dreamed of visiting, we are famous for our music. Between the Grand Ole Opry, The Ryman, or BMI there are so many opportunities for local bands to make it big! And as most you know, all bands whether starting out or who have made it all see one common piece of merchandise, T-shirts!

Our custom silk screen printing techniques will let you know what we do best. The screen is a mesh stretched tightly over a four-sided frame. The screen is coated with a special emulsion that is sensitive to light in a similar way as photo film. The emulsion is then covered with a transparent film that contains a negative image of the art design. This assembly is exposed to light. This results in the emulsion being removed in only those areas where light could penetrate the transparent film. The emulsion is not removed from the screen in those areas where the transparent film was opaque. In effect, this transfers the art design from the transparent film onto the emulsion-covered screen.  All areas where the emulsion was removed will allow ink to flow through the mesh. But in areas blocked by emulsion, no ink will flow.  It is the flow of ink through the screen that results in the art design being printed onto a garment.

After the screen is prepared for printing, a garment is placed on the press and secured in position. The screen is fitted above the garment and ink is loaded in the screen. The ink is then forced through the open areas of the screen onto the garment below.  This prints one color. If multiple colors are used, then the process above must be repeated for each color while keeping them in proper registration.

After a garment is completely printed, it is put through a drying process. This involves a conveyor where air is heated to 320-degree and blown over the ink to cure it. TakeHold suggests that you wash all printed shirt turned inside-out in cold water because it will insure the life of the print.

When you custom screen printing, one of the first decisions you will make is what type of fabric is needed along with what color it should be. We need that information in order to give an accurate quote. With so many choices available, it can be a bit confusing.

Here are a couple of hints that may help:

Picking the Fabric-

For short sleeve t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, polo style, tank tops, and sweatshirts you will find two common fabrics, 100% cotton or 50% cotton/50% polyester. There are other blends too, but the most popular is good ol’ 100-percent cotton.  One reason for this is that it retains screen printed designs extremely well.  Within the popular all-cotton material there are several subsets. These include soft-style, heavyweight, jersey, and ultra-cotton.

Picking the Color Garment-

When choosing the color for custom printed garments, keep in mind the color you want for the design.  If you prefer a dark or black fabric, then a primer layer of white ink must be printed before the actual design is applied so it will be bright and not muted in tone. This affects cost. If you prefer a light colored fabric, then designs can usually be printed without a primer layer. This would result in a less expensive option.
