Adding your design to custom apparel with embroidery, screen printing or transfers is a great way to build your brand and make an impact. There’s something tangible and memorable about a custom printed tee, a nicely embroidered hat or a customized chef’s apron.
Aprons and Chef Apparel
Aprons are popular in the kitchen, at the barbecue and in restaurants. If you’re running a restaurant, a chef’s school, a food brand or a catering company, custom aprons provide uniquely memorable branding.
Tip: Choose the style that fits your need – servers in a restaurant may need a pouch to keep pens and notepads, chefs may need full frontal coverage while babies just need a little bib! Order the right apron and your brand will be memorable and professional.
Bathrobes
A cozy bathrobe is a lovely thing. We associate custom bathrobes with relaxation, cleanliness and the indulgence of a spa or hotel. Add your logo or tasteful message to bathrobes and those good feelings will be associated with your brand.
Tip: Embroidered bathrobes are perfect for hotels and spas, but they’re also a creative medium for other brands. If you’re in the field of self-help, relaxation, meditation or fitness, a customized bathrobe may be the perfect product. We’ve seen gyms and yoga studios create bathrobes for their regulars with great feedback.
Custom Embroidered Hats
An embroidered cap is a creative addition to any company uniform, band merchandise table or film production. People hold onto their favourite hats for years, especially if they’re well designed.
Tip: A vintage logo looks great on a baseball cap. Alternatively, a simple white embroidery design looks super modern against a dark black or muted-colour hat.
Dress Shirts
Add your logo to customized long-sleeve dress shirts to class up your next event or make your staff look extra sharp. A simple embroidery or small screen print can give your brand an incredibly professional appearance. People notice stuff like that!
Tip: Long sleeve or short sleeve? Blue, black, white or other? Calvin Klein or Van Heusen dress shirts? There are many options when you’re creating your own dress shirts. We recommend checking out different options and contacting a friendly expert for their advice.
Custom Lab Coats and Scrubs
Working in a laboratory or hospital environment requires a level of professionalism and detail – project those qualities with your apparel. Custom screen printed scrubs or embroidered lab coats will give your staff an appearance that matches their experience.
Tip: Marketing companies can order custom lab coats for ad campaigns featuring a “scientist” character. Whether you’re running taste tests or doing a TV ad, a custom embroidered lab coat adds a sense of “officialness” to the project.
Custom Scarves and Gloves
In the winter time, people will want your custom knit gloves and scarves! We find people hold onto these high perceived value promotional items and wear them all around town repping your brand for months!
Tip: We always recommend knitted beanies and winter caps, but the custom scarf and a branded pair of gloves are even more memorable and unique in the winter.
Branded Socks
Across Canada and the States, custom designed socks have taken off. I’m calling it now: custom socks will be the next big trend. Get ahead of the trend by ordering your own custom printed socks. Get ankle socks, dress socks or cozy warm socks. Just add your design and have fun with it!
Tip: People are willing to wear some very silly socks – get creative and you’ll sell more socks.
Custom Underwear
Putting your logo on underwear is a guaranteed way to attract attention! Add a playful message across the bum or a simple iconic design on the thigh. We’ve seen some awesome custom undies, have fun with the design process!
Tip: If they’re comfy, people will love them. Order a good quality pair of underwear and they’re guaranteed to sell or be popular free promotional items.
Creating Memorable Apparel
When you’re designing your own apparel, you can go safe and create staples in people’s wardrobes or get creative and make an impact. Just choose the apparel items that fit your brand’s aesthetic and enjoy the design process. If something doesn’t sell it’s no big deal, and if it does you may have a hit on your hands!
