Customised clothing for events makes those attending feel part of the experience and can own a lasting memory of the day, in addition, branded clothing can be part of the merchandise that helps to raise funds. From running t-shirts to tote bags, and safety vests to polo shirts, we can customise clothing with various options. When looking at high volume and low cost, heat-applied transfers are often great for this type of budget, but they are limited especially when you have something large in colour and design.
Charity Walk
In July this year, we were contacted by Sarah Campbell who found us on a Google search. Sarah organised the ‘Bare your soles’ a 4km Barefoot Walk at Knepp Estate in September to raise funds for the charity Ataxia UK.
Ataxia is a rare neurological disorder that affects balance, speech and coordination. The majority of forms of ataxia are treatable, but currently, there is no cure.
Sarah wanted a range of clothing for the walk, with logos front and back, to generate interest and a sense of community when everyone took part. The walk was a family-based event, so clothing needed to be for both children and adults. The orders are still ongoing but so far we have printed over 26 children’s t-shirts, 30 adult t-shirts and 12 hoodies in various sizes.
Direct to Garment
The barefoot walk has a great hand-drawn logo featuring a family walking, this was printed onto the back and fills most of the available space with the Knepp logo, pocket-sized on the front, both are full colour. The logos were printed onto the garments via a process called direct-to-garment, or DTG. This technique prints the design straight onto the garment rather than a transfer which is ideal for full-colour artwork and longer-lasting prints.
Client testimonial
“The process was so lovely and personal. I felt like my ever-increasing demands were met and always with understanding. We completed a 4km barefoot walk at the Knepp Estate to raise money for Ataxia UK! It was so lovely seeing everyone in the T-shirts. Really gave the event a sense of community. We love them so much! Thank you!” – Sarah Campbell
Hoodies and T-shirts
With a family vibe for the walk the t-shirts and hoodies were chosen in a wide range of colours, and sizes for adults and kids. Colours ranged from Navy, Sky, Dusty Rose, and Convoy Grey, meaning each garment was individual and the walk was a colourful array.
The t-shirts were a classic Russell brand, produced with a superior fine gauge knit fabric for excellent decoration results that last. With 20 colours available they are one of the most popular choices for tees.
The hoodies were from the AWDis Just Hoods range. Available in over 80 colours they are a classic college hoodie with 80% ringspun cotton and kangaroo pouch pocket, made with Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) certified production.
