Why bother branding anything?

There's lots of reasons - you might need helpers to stand out at an event - you might want your waiters to be easily spotted - you might want everyone to know you're part of a celebration - you might want people to remember your event long after it's past.

In most cases wanting to stand out is what drives people to get something printed or embroidered. In truth though, if we don't think the money you're going to spend is going to help, we'll tell you straight. Nobody wants to see money wasted, and if all you really need is a simple blank garment, we'll let you know.

I've got a design that's got lots of colours in it, but I'm not sure how to simplify it to make it cheaper to print.

Images with lots of colours can look great, especially on a computer screen, but you'd be amazed how good something can look in a limited number of colours, even a single one. Email us your image or idea, and we can send you a proof of how it would look with a reduced colour range. We have years of experience taking designs and simplifying them as much as possible, while still maximising their impact. It's part of what we do so well.

I've got a strict budget. How can I get the most value from it?

Easy! Send us an email with whatever ideas, budget, logos or plans you have, and we'll see how to make the most impact at the least cost. A single colour print on a white t-shirt might normally be the cheapest option, but we'll find a way to maximise your money's potential, while still getting your message across and making the best impression.

What are some ground rules for branding items?

The number of colours, the number of print or embroidery positions, and the size of the image have the most impact on how long it will take, and how much it will cost.
We understand you want as much as possible, but sometimes less is more.
Instead of embroidering both sleeves, put smaller version on just one.
Instead of separate images on both sides of a t-shirt, take the best bits from both designs, and print the same thing front & back - one less screen to create saves you money, without reducing the design's impact.
