Personalising your own clothing for a special occasion, like being able to design your own t shirt either as a present to yourself or as a unique gift to give to others, has never been easier. There are a range of both online resources where personalised t shirts can be ordered, as well as high street outlets, that offer facilities for producing printed t shirts depending on your needs and requirements. For corporate and leisure wear, company strap-lines and logos can be emblazoned on embroidered t shirts for staff to wear at promotional events, as well as being part of their everyday uniform. Many companies also give out printed t shirts as part of promotional offers for new products, or services linked into advertising and marketing campaigns.
There are a few areas to consider when choosing to design your own t shirt and these depend on what use and function are required for the garment, whether it is for business or leisure, for a one off gift or simply a chance to bring out the inner fashion designer in you.If the t shirt is going to be worn as part of a work uniform, then the colours should be in keeping with corporate colours and the item made from fabric that is machine washable. The logo and contact details of the business should be included if being used for promotional purposes, and you may decide to personalise it with the name of the wearer.
Personalised t shirts are a really great idea for a sports team for example or can be used to help raise money for a local youth club by designing the printed t shirts and selling them to members to raise money for club funds. Schools can also order t shirts in their house colours, ready for sports day,prize giving events or have different coloured shirts for each year group. Local bands who want to raise their profile can design a t shirt for their fans and followers to wear based around the group name and image.
For one off and special gifts that show the receiver that you have really put some thought into their present, a personalised t shirt is the answer. If you are organising a party for the bride and groom to be, then getting hold of a photograph of the happy couple and having them printed up on the shirts for the hen or stag night is guaranteed to raise a few smiles. For teenagers who are notoriously difficult to buy presents for, then printed t shirts with the catchphrases and sayings of their favourite TV show or trendy slogans, is a great gift. Even for the smaller members of the family, starting with personalised t shirts with the name of a new born, can be part of a baby shower gift basket.
If looking on line for inspiration, there are sites that offer a range of designs, as well as those who are happy to turn your ideas into a wearable piece of artwork.
