FOUNDATIONS OF A GRAPHIC T-SHIRT BRANDBefore you begin to ink-out designs there are three key elements you must know. Each plays a vital role in building your brand, keeping it synonymous, and most important—ensuring designs are relevant in the years to come. Consider each well-before you start: Audience:, it will help your brand stand out, naturally attracting more followers.
Brand:People subscribe to brands. Before starting ask yourself what is your brand’s story? What does it stand for?
Who do you represent? Design:Are you going for timeless or trend of the moment? Graphic t-shirts are all about making a connection through meaningful designs. TYPES OF T-SHIRTST-shirts are not created equal. It’s common knowledge fast fashion brands use low-end quality blanks. (Quality so abysmal, they're only good for a few washes.) When you want to make your brand a lasting success, quality t-shirts will form a cornerstone for your brand. No excuses here.
And yes, if your chasing crazy-high margins, printing on cheap blanks is the way to go. A warning though. When you go down the cheap quality path you need to consider how this will affect your customer’s buying decision and your brand perception. The last thing you want is to get grilled on social media because your garments fall to pieces after a few washes.What makes a quality t-shirt blank?
Several things. Cotton type, softness, preshrunk, size, fit and weight.
The Far Collective have put together a comprehensive list of the when starting out.Now, before you go out and order a box of blanks, it’s strongly encourage you do this instead. Buy all seven blanks. Test them out yourself. Put them through a washer and dryer. You want to put the tees through your own durability test to see how they stand up. Only then, should you narrow down your choice.
TIME TO PRINTOK, you’ve narrowed down your type of t-shirt blank, you need to consider your print options. The three most popular are silk screen printing, heat transfer, and direct to garment. Each method has their own pros and cons, and different levels of startup investments. Plus, each technique has differing levels of input during the creation process. So, make sure to consider this before choosing which is right for your brand. Silk Screen PrintingScreen printing is the most commonly used technique for t-shirt printing. The final results are durable, long lasting and resistant to fading.
Albeit, labour intensive, screen printing is the most cost effective for large volume printing. Pros. Quick and easy to print multiple colors and complex design. Perfect for small ordersCons.
Heavy feel of transfer makes t-shirt feel bulky. More colors = more costs. Cracks EasilyDirect-to-Garment (DTG)DTG is a more recent form of t-shirt printing.
Compared to large volume screen printing, it's a cost-effective method for small-to-medium sized projects. And because DTG works like an ordinary inkjet printer, you print your design directly on the blank garment. Now this is good news for you, because it means no harsh chemicals. No messy set-up. No lengthy setup time. A quick turnaround process that's affordable.
Now, whichever method you choose to use, be aware of the pros and cons of each and how they can affect your brand.
