Printed, Folded, Rolled & Banded T-Shirts

What ever do we mean?!

One of our most recent clients came to us through a referral – they’re a software company that exhibit at lots of exhibitions and trade events around Europe (and further).  Due to the nature of the software they sell/provide they have a large following of customers and users who love to collect their branded merchandise!  One of the most popular giveaways for this particular client is printed t-shirts with their company logo and slogans etc.

They came to us as we were recommended to them from another customer and we discussed their requirements: They needed 3,500 printed t-shirts with a front and back 2 colour print and gave us a 6 week lead time.  Nothing out of the ordinary there so no problem…  “However,” they said, “we also need them folded, rolled and banded with a silicon band showing the size – this helps us immensely at trade shows to locate the exact size very quickly when we are giving them away.”

As standard practice we always fold customer orders and pack them into clear packets with sizing labels and washing instructions but the rolling and banding requirement we were told was “make or break” in terms of us getting the deal.

Silicon Size Bands

Luckily with our promotional goods side of the business we were able to tap into some of our great contacts and find the best solution.  This was in fact by using a silicon wristband – we organised the printed wristbands with the company’s pantone colours to match the t-shirts and printed them up in the different sizes they had ordered (Small through to XX-Large).

We then set about folding, rolling and size banding each of the t-shirts before packing them neatly into each box, which was also labelled up clearly to help identify the right size as quickly as possible.

The image on the right shows the finished rolled t-shirts – we actually rolled them so that the company logo and artwork was showing on the front making them look more appealing but for the purposes of this blog we have kept the artwork hidden.
