promotional clothing.
A T-shirt people keep wearing does more for you than an object they throw away. T-shirts, caps, bags, sweatshirts: promotional textiles for your events, your trade shows and your clients, personalised by embroidery or print depending on the finish you want.
Promotional textiles have a well-known flaw: they often end up at the back of a cupboard. The difference comes down to two things. The quality of the fabric and the restraint of the branding. A garment that is comfortable to wear, with a well-placed logo rather than an advertising panel, actually gets worn, and works for you for years.
We work from a broad catalogue of textiles, from an economical basic for wide distribution to a finer garment for your partners. Quantities per size are decided together: a badly split run is stock sitting idle.

from choosing the fabric to delivery.
questions we are asked.
Will you take an order for a single polo shirt?
Yes. A single item is printed rather than screen printed, which avoids the preparation a large run needs. Embroidery is still possible too: the logo is digitised once, then the file is kept and reused for later orders. Tell us what you are planning after this one. It often decides the technique chosen from the very first piece.
I will need the same item for a new colleague later on. Is that possible?
Yes. The embroidery file, the thread references and the print files are kept from one order to the next, so the new piece comes out identical to the first, without going through setup again. The one unknown is the garment itself, whose colour or reference can change at the manufacturer. In that case we put the closest equivalent forward before anything is made.
How do I choose the fabric for site work, for reception, for a trade show?
By actual use, not by the catalogue. On site, you need a hardwearing knit that stands up to frequent washing and rubbing. At reception, the garment is seen close up all day, so how the collar holds and how it looks after ironing matter more than strength. For a trade show, the piece is worn for the event and needs comfort above all, in a fabric that does not mark with heat.
How do I order sizes without ending up with a box of unworn garments?
By having the garment tried on before you order. Sizes do not match from one brand to another, nor between men's and women's cuts, and the same label sometimes covers two different builds. Ask for sample pieces in the chosen model, have your team put them on, then decide the split based on what comes back. Allow a margin on the middle sizes, since they go first.
What can be marked, and where?
Polo shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, caps, bags, aprons: almost anything worn can be marked. The position matters more than the size. The left chest suits a discreet logo, the back a message readable from a distance, the sleeve a secondary line. The constraint comes from seams, pockets and fastenings, which sometimes rule out marking in the intended place. This is checked on the chosen model before approval.
