Screen printed t-shirts – Screen printing is the perfect choice for large quantities of t-shirts. It provides a really high quality finish and a type of textured print. The only downside to screen printing is that there is an initial set-up cost for a screen of £35, but when this is added onto a total of a thousand t-shirts this cost seems minimal.

Flexi printed t-shirts – Flexi printing is ideally suited to stag party or hen night t-shirts, where each garment is personalised with a different name or number. Flexi printing involves having the separate letters of text cut out from a piece of vinyl and then being heat applied to the garment.

Digitally printed t-shirts – Digitally printing onto a t-shirt is probably the cheapest form of personalisation on a small number of t-shirts. A digital image is simply printed onto special transfer print and is then heat applied to the chosen garment. If you are looking for a full colour image to be printed onto a t-shirt then digitally printing a t-shirt is the solution.

Embroidered t-shirts – Embroidery is normally reserved for more quality garments such as staff work wear or sports team uniforms. The finish on an embroidered garment is of the highest quality.

For more information on the different ways of t-shirt personalisation please contact your local printed t-shirt supplier.

as there are a number of factors to consider when choosing a logo or message suitable for printing.

Logo size – Your logo is possibly the most important part of your promotional product, so it is important to make sure that it looks good and is displayed correctly. Choose a product which compliments your corporate colours or provides a decent print area to display your chosen design or message.

Number of colours – Depending on which promotional gift you have chosen, the number of print colours can be significant as it can increase the price of the item or may not actually be possible to print. In some cases certain products can only be printed with one colour or if a 4 colour print was to be applied it may incur 4 separate screen set-up charges which will dramatically increase the price.

Design complexity – On promotional gifts such as a printed pens or key ring, simple designs generally produce the best finish. Well defined, sharp lines always stand out best on a small printed item as you are limited in print area.

If artwork is not your strong point, talk to your local promotional products supplier and get as much advice or information on your chosen product as possible. The last thing you want is to choose your product and find out that your design is too large or too complex for it to be used.

Associating your company with well known and quality brand names such as Waterman, Parker, Cross and Sheaffer can only enhance your reputation.

There’s no need to break the bank or dig into your savings to embark on a corporate gift or giveaway campaign. Executive pens start at a couple of pounds each, upwards.

Most executive pens these days come with the option of a presentation box to give it that true feeling of being a corporate gift. Why not send out a personalised pen set to those special clients.

With a huge selection of executive pens available it may be a daunting task to choose a pen which sends out the right message and falls within your budget. There isn’t a trick to this. Just choose a pen which you think looks good, doesn’t cost too much.  At the end of the day it may only be a small gesture but everyone likes to receive a free gift and it could make the difference to whether your client stays on with you for another year.

One very important thing to remember is that for the majority of people you meet, your display will be the first impression they have of you and your company and as we all know first impressions count! So choosing a trade show display that is both professional and informative is

something which you need to get right. Having a couple of tatty posters plastered onto a makeshift wall doesn’t represent your company with being a well presented, professional brand.

The most popular and effective way of setting up a successful trade show or event display is the roller banner. A portable, lightweight and robust product which includes a printed full colour banner. Standing 2 metres tall, you can create a wall of advertising which provides a truly awesome visual experience.

For the more seasoned exhibitor, pop up banners are fast becoming the display stand of choice. An all in one solution for any trade show and robust enough to be used time and time again.

If a portable display unit isn’t suitable then why not go for a printed banner. Available in any size and in full colour, they are a very versatile and cost-effective method of large format advertising and can be noticed across even the busiest exhibition halls.
