T shirts are a wardrobe staple across the world. Their casual fit and timeless appearance allow all day comfort to complete any outfit. Businesses, brands and events are opting for personalised t shirts more than ever to help promote their company or message. There are many factors to consider when designing custom t shirts in order to create the perfect garment for a specific occasion or industry.

Custom embroidery and printing are able to withstand the usual short shelf life of fashion as designs can be made unique to a specific individual, brand or business. Custom made tees add a personal touch to an outfit that the wearer can style again and again.

Here are 5 easy steps to come up with custom T-shirt design ideas:

1. Choose your t shirt

Colour, brand, fit and style all play an important role in creating the perfect, coherent uniform for any company, brand or event.

 

Take time to browse the extensive range of t shirts available and note the required features such as material, thickness, neckline, sleeve length and more. These specifications can be equally as important as the design and customisation methods themselves.

The t shirt material can influence how a print appears on the garment so be sure to seek advice in this area in order to receive the best results for your clothing.

Once the t shirt is selected, the designing can begin! Techniques such as embroidery, vinyl, DTG and screen printing allow full customisation of any item of clothing. This means, t shirts can feature any logo, slogan, image or other intricate design.

2. Know your audience

Plain t shirts are the perfect blank canvas for expressing creativity, conveying a message, promoting an event or supporting a good cause. It is important to keep the target audience in mind when putting a design together in order to create the desired effect.

Successful designs typically vary between different industries as the audience’s needs change with the purpose. Choosing a design that reflects the values of the whole company is essential for withholding a strong brand identity. Inspiration can be taken from searching similar industries such as sport, hospitality or corporate t shirt printing.

3. Less is more

Over the top designs can be distracting to the eye and take away from the t shirts’ message. A simple, thought-out design can look more seamless and professional. For example, one of the most popular designs for workwear is a left chest embroidery of a company logo.

It is important to choose a design style that matches the company identity to stay inline with company values and promote the business in the most effective way

4. Mock it up

The design process can be overwhelming when starting with a blank t shirt. Deciding where to position different elements on the garment to create the most effective outcome can seem impossible.

This is why online design tools can be so helpful. Creating a digital mock up allows trial and error without consequence. Freely move logos and designs on the clothing to find the best fit.

Gathering opinions from peers and co-workers is a great way to gage which design works the best for its purpose. Several mock-ups can be made and compared before reaching a final decision.

There are multiple t shirt printing services in Coventry that offer custom embroidery and screen-printing services across the UK but finding the perfect company to work with can be challenging. It is important to research companies, look at examples of their work and reviews from previous clients. This gives a realistic idea of what you may expect from their services and allow you to make an informed decision on which company to choose.

A knowledgeable printing service can offer guidance and suggestions to help you design stand out and fit its purpose. This information may include the printing method, t shirt material or design changes.
