T Shirt Thursday
March 11th, 2010Garments We Dig – an introduction
March 5th, 2010
In my experience, when it comes to choosing base garments for printing or embroidery, aside from the seasoned pro’s who know EXACTLY what they want, everyone else seems to fall into one of two categories:
Those who want the absolute cheapest that they can get their hands on and those who are completely overwhelmed by the range of garments that are available!
In the coming weeks and months we are going to be bringing you the garments that we really love, telling you why we love them and what they are good for. This, we hope, is going to be helpful not only for the people who are confused about what garments to choose, but also those who like to buy cheap, as sometimes paying that bit extra can make a huge amount of difference in the quality of the garment.
We hope to recommend a range of garments including t shirts, polos, sweatshirts, hoodies, shirts, sportswear, caps, fleeces, jackets, hats, and all the lovely goodies that we think are awesome!
With years of experience between us, having used fantastic garments and fantastically terrible garments, we know, and of course, want to explain, exactly whats good for you!
If you have used a particular base garment that you think is awesome and you want to share the love, please feel free to let us know about it!

7 Reasons Why You Should Clothe Your Staff
February 11th, 2010
So, everyone seems to be getting clothing for their staff, and you are wondering “Whats the big idea?” – lets have a look at some of the benefits of corporate clothing.
1. It will reinforce your brand.
It’s a well known fact that the more you expose your brand to people, the more likely it is that they will remember you when they need a service that your company offers. Having your staff wear branded clothing is a great way to reinforce your brand and make it work for you in a more powerful way.
2. You will keep your staff looking beautiful.
It’s always nice to make a good first impression, and appearance is a huge factor in that. By giving your employees branded clothing you will always know that your staff are appropriately dressed, in fact, dressed to impress!
3. It can keep your staff safe.
Many job roles require certain clothing for safety reasons. Handing out uniforms to your staff will mean that you can be assured that they have all that they need to keep to safety standards!
4. Your staff will love you.
It’s great to receive something extra from your employer, and your staff will love you for going the extra mile and investing in them.
5. Your staff will work harder.
Putting on work clothes really helps people to get into a working frame of mind, clothe your employees and they will get more done!
6. Its a great advertising opportunity.
Having your staff wear branded clothing throughout the day is great for advertising and getting new business. You could also use the clothing to reinforce special promotions that you are running.
7. You will be ahead of the competition.
Image counts for a lot. If your employees are wearing branded clothing it will put you ahead of the many other companies who just don’t have a brand image on that level.
On a final note, I realise that especially in the times that we are in budgets can be very tight, however you may be very surprised at how cheaply you can have branded clothing produced.
Remember, clothing your staff is an investment, and believe me, it will pay off!

Converting Text to Outline in Adobe Illustrator
December 15th, 2009A problem that a lot of printing companies have is people sending over artwork in a vectorised format that contains text that hasnt been converted to outline (People certainly send us over a lot of Illstrator files for t shirt printing without outlined text!). The reason for this is that the printing company may not have the same beautiful fonts that you have used in creating your artwork, and if it goes unnoticed, it can leave your print in, well, a bit of a mess!
When converting your text to outline it takes your text from being regular text and relying on a font, to vectorised shapes which can then be viewed on any computer even if it doesnt have the original font installed.
Anyway, however confusing that may all sound, converting text to outline in Illustrator is very straightforward.
First you need to select your text
Then Type>Create Outlines
Now your text is outlined and ready to send to the printers! One thing that I would like to add here is that your outlined text will now not be editable as regular text would be, so, if you would like to make adjustments to your design in the future it would definately be better to save your outlined design as a seperate file!
Happy Outlining!
