Step 1: Where to start when choosing a logo for your shirt and promotional shirts.
Printing or embroidering on a T-shirt not only increases your brand awareness, it also
strengthens team spirit.
We design the logo on the shirt and the promotional apparel we want to wear ourselves. Our goal is to make sure that promotional shirts with our logo don’t sit in a closet, but are worn and serve their purpose.
When you decide to delight someone with an item of clothing, keep their needs in mind. Think about how they’ll use it – that’s the basis for making the right and easy choice.
Step 2: Choosing the right material for your T-shirt print.
We offer high quality and simple branding. As a classic collection, this
includes the widest range of designs, colours and materials, from 100% cotton, GOTS certified organic cotton to a variety of blended fabrics.

Step 3: Which material to choose for your t-shirt print?
It’s easy to get lost in the myriad of fabrics, weaves and treatments. While a plain cotton T-shirt is a classic, it’s not always the best option. Here’s a short materials glossary to help you understand all the names, numbers and percentages.
Wool
A basic natural fibre with a wide range of uses. Cotton T-shirts are very soft, absorbent and breathable. In addition to regular cotton, we also offer organic cotton, an environmentally conscious choice, and SUPIMA®, representing the top 1% of the world’s cotton.
POLYESTER
The quick-drying property of polyester is something that not only athletes appreciate. This synthetic fibre is also used for waterproof fabrics or to reinforce other fabrics.
VISKOOS
It is a natural material made from wood pulp. It is used in melange colours mixed with cotton. This is because viscose absorbs dyes at a different rate than cotton, which gives the desired effect.
ELASTAN
Even 5% elastane can do wonders for a T-shirt. It helps form
a nice silhouette and keeps the fabric from coming loose. Elastane has been added to the neckline and cuffs.
Bamboo FABRICS
The properties of a fabric are not only determined by the fibres, but also by the pattern of the weave or fabric. For T-shirts and polo shirts, fabrics such as single jersey or pique are used because they are flexible and adapt to the body shape. Fine poplin fabrics are best suited for shirts and blouses. And fleece or French Terry (brushed or not) fabrics protect against the cold.
Step 4: Cut the T-shirt
The classic T-shirt cut has a straight, round neck. You can stand out by using a different shape or neckline.
Tubular cut, short sleeves
Open cut, turned up sleeves
Easy cut, short sleeves
Easy cut, long sleeves
The T-shirt can be a roomy, tubular cut without side seams – or a slim fit with side seams. Sleeve lengths can also vary.
Different shaped necklaces are also offered.
V-neck
Deeper circular neck
Neckline with unique design
Step 5: Choosing colours for your t-shirt
There’s a wide range of colours, but you don’t need to know it inside out. All professionals, from forest rangers to doctors, know their common colours, and with children you can let your imagination run wild. In total, we offer 84 colourways and the T-shirt has the most of any single colourway – 41.
To match the logo to the shirt, you need to play through the logo colours with the shirt colours beforehand. You can choose between a classic style or a more eye-catching colour scheme.
Step 6: Choosing the right size for your logo shirt.
If you don’t know exactly, follow the size tables. You can find them here. We make sure to follow the European standard sizes, offering sizes XS to 5XL for adults and sizes 4 to 12 years for children.
7. Bonus information on t-shirts.
Women’s and men’s cuts are different for all clothes. Women’s cuts are slimmed at the waist to emphasise the silhouette of women.
