T-Shirts and Singlets
Of all the promotional items that are available to businesses today, the promotional tshirt has the biggest potential to be worn every day, all day, to within an inch of its life, and loved to bits. A well-executed promotional tshirt with a great design and quality fabric can be worn until it’s ratty and tattered, and even passed down to the next (funky) generation as a vintage tee.
Thanks to the marvels of modern design, manufacturing and printing, gone are the days when all promotional tshirts were boring, baggy, and were relegated to the back of the closet. Nowadays, various kinds of executions have lifted the humble tshirt to the status of a collectible piece of modern fashion that can be hip and extremely reflective of the times. And the number of suppliers out there in the market gives you the luxury to choose the ideal price, quantity and quality of promotional tshirt for promoting your business, good or service.
Specifications, specifications
Think of specifications as a common language between you and your supplier or distributor. When citing specifications, you have a concrete means of describing just the kind of promotional tshirt you want to give out, or for your supplier to describe just the kind of coffee mug he has for you. Although there may seem to be a lot of specs to get straight, they will ultimately make life (ordering, customizing, logistics) easier for both you and your tshirt provider
