Custom-Branded Apparel
Custom-branded apparel is a process that involves adding a company’s logo or branding elements onto clothing items to promote their brand image. This process can be done using various techniques such as screen printing, heat transfer, embroidery, or sublimation printing.
At Branding Centres, we used heat transfer and embroidery techniques to create custom-branded apparel for Vivid Homes. Heat transfer is a process where a design is printed onto a vinyl material and then transferred onto the fabric using heat and pressure. This method is ideal for producing high-quality, long-lasting prints on a variety of materials, including t-shirts, jackets, hoodies, and other apparel items.
Embroidery, on the other hand, involves sewing a design onto the fabric using thread. This method is particularly effective for creating custom-branded hats, toques, and other small apparel items. Embroidery offers a more textured and three-dimensional look to the design and is ideal for creating a high-end, professional look.
For Vivid Homes, we custom-branded a range of apparel items, including:
- 26 T-shirts
- 2 Jackets
- 1 Golf Shirt
- 10 Toques
- 7 Baseball Hats
- and 6 Hoodies
Each item was carefully chosen to showcase the Vivid Homes brand and promote their business. For instance, the t-shirts and jackets were designed with a simple and clean look to emphasize the brand logo and make a bold statement. The toques and baseball hats, on the other hand, were customized with the brand logo embroidered on the front for a more textured and professional look.
One of the challenges we faced when custom branding smaller items, such as the toques and baseball hats, was maintaining the detail in the client’s logo. We had to be careful while weeding the design to ensure that the smaller details were not lost. To overcome this challenge, we used a high-quality vinyl material that allowed for more precise and detailed cutting. By using a more advanced cutting technology, we were able to ensure that even the smallest details were captured, resulting in a crisp and clean design.
Custom-branded apparel is a powerful marketing tool for businesses to showcase their brand image and create a lasting impression among their customers and employees alike. By utilizing a combination of heat transfer and embroidery techniques, we were able to create custom apparel items that effectively showcased the Vivid Homes brand and helped them achieve their branding goals.
