When it comes to selecting the perfect t-shirt, the choice between brands, styles, or colors can seem overwhelming. That’s where our dedicated account managers come into play. We are equipped to guide you through the selection process, ensuring you make an informed decision for your brand.

Things to Consider When Choosing Your Perfect T-Shirt:

Fabric Types:

One of the essential elements to consider when selecting a t-shirt is the fabric type. The type of fabric used can greatly impact the quality, comfort, and durability of your t-shirt. Here are some common options to choose from:

  • Cotton: A typically budget friendly choice, popular for its softness and breathability.

  • Polyester: Known for its moisture-wicking properties and quick-drying capabilities, polyester is a great option for athletic wear or warmer climates.

  • Blends: Combining two or more fabrics can result in unique features such as softness, durability, and stretchiness. Common blends include cotton-polyester, tri-blend (cotton-polyester-rayon), and cotton-spandex.

  • It's essential to carefully consider the fabric type based on your specific needs and preferences. We can provide more in-depth information on each fabric type and recommend the best choice for you, offering good, better, and best options.

Decoration Methods:

Another crucial aspect of t-shirt selection is decorations. The size and color of your graphic/logo may impact how it gets decorated. Some popular decoration methods include:

  • Screen printing: A cost-effective method for high-volume orders offering vibrant colors and durable prints (4 color process).

  • Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing: Using specialized printers, DTG allows for detailed designs and color gradients.

  • Heat transfer: Great for full-color prints or photo-like images, heat transfers use heat to transfer ink onto the fabric.

  • Side note: Need artwork assistance? We've got you! Our Symphonix Creative Team can work with you to create custom artwork that aligns with your brand image and guidelines.
