Customized Alumni T-Shirts Bring Pride To A Group

By Andy Flores


Alumni t-shirts are a sure winner and are always worn with pride. Everyone wants a reminder of a special day spent with friends from school, college, sorority or fraternity. Whether it's a sports day, music camp or social gathering, T-shirts are a great fund-raiser and virtually sell themselves. Unite your team and their supporters with complementary customized apparel. Whatever your message, you will be able to display it loud and clear with customized garments.

You may want your college logo or emblem on your chosen apparel. Slogans and quotes are popular. In most instances, even scanned designs or photos are suitable. These may need to be enhanced to create a perfect image or they can even be recreated. If you are still in the process of deciding on a design, you will have the opportunity to view a library of samples. The company representative will assist you to create something to fit your needs and will suggest a format to suit your requirements exactly.

The helpful staff will help you modify your blueprint if it needs improvement. Their experience and training will have shown them how to make the most of a draft. If a design is complex, a sample may be produced first for your approval. The staff will ensure the colors and outline you choose will make your T-shirts stand out from the crowd.

It is easy to create distinctive apparel online. Choosing a material may come first. The style will be next. A library of artwork clips will be available for your perusal. You will have the option of any number of fonts and patterns. There may be a setup fee, the cost of which will depend on the method of production you choose. Screen printing is still very popular as it is durable and practical. The setup varies with each production method. The fees charged will be included on the quote.

These garments come in a range of colors, fabrics, sizes and styles. With PromoPays, it may even be possible to take delivery with only a few days' notice although this would normally incur a fee. Allow as much time as possible when ordering custom-designed apparel. This applies especially to large quantity orders. With at least three or four weeks' notice, you can be assured of receiving your items in good time for your event. Don't forget to allow shipping time.

Materials available include heavy cotton and cotton blends such as poly cotton. There is also fine or sheer jersey and baby or mini rib fabrics. You can choose from short-sleeve or cap sleeves. Neck styles include V-neck, U-neck, round or crew neck. Pockets are optional.

Because there is a series of steps to go through to set up production of custom apparel, you may be charged a screen or setup fee. Once the impression is made and the logo formatted, it will be saved to a file. If there are repeat orders which utilize the same design, the setup charge is generally waived.

Some logos which are submitted as jpeg files may need to be digitized if the design is to be embroidered. Embroidery machines use DST files to read artwork. It is usual to quote for all work before production begins. Trendy customized alumni t-shirts will be in great demand.
