Ending the school year in style: T-shirts with a story

behind them T-shirts featuring the names of classmates in Year 9 are a classic. But why stop there? Printed T-shirts are also a hit with secondary school pupils or as an original gift for teachers.

– Funny quotes and photos: Thanks to DTF (Direct to Film) technology, nothing is beyond us. Would you like a group photo from a school trip, your class motto or a funny quote from your history teacher printed on a T-shirt? We’ll print anything in full colour

.- Styles to suit everyone: We offer women’s and unisex fits in sizes XS to XXL. Teachers can have a different T-shirt colour to their pupils so they stand out from the crowd

.- Mix of colours and sizes: With us, you don’t have to order 30 identical items. Within a single order (min. 30 items), you can mix colours and sizes as required.

The golden rule of planning: Don’t wait for the school reports. The ideal time to order T-shirts for the end of the school year is mid-May. Production takes around two weeks, and when you factor in the time needed for the design and delivery, it’s high time to start getting creative.

A slightly different sort of school bag: Swap your T-shirt for a canvas

bag. Want to be original and practical at the same time? School T-shirts often end up as ‘T-shirts for wearing at home’, but a cotton bag with your classmates’ names on it? You’ll wear that one with pride when you go shopping, to the gym or to the beach.

As well as classic bags, we also stock natural and black cotton drawstring rucksacks. They’re lightweight, comfortable to carry and absolutely ideal for summer trips or festivals.

  • For nursery schools, we recommend bags with short handles, which won’t get in children’s way.
  • We print on white bags, natural-coloured bags and natural-coloured rucksacks using three methods: from delicate digital printing (DTG), through vibrant DTF, to traditional screen printing in Pantone C colours.
  • We print on coloured cotton bags and black rucksacks using full-colour DTF transfers.
My personal tip: Cotton rucksack doesn’t just have to be worn on your back. I personally use it as a handy case for my running shoes, which I take with me on every holiday. This way, my trainers are safely separated in my suitcase and don’t get the rest of my clothes dirty.

Summer is calling: Festivals, camps and picnics

T-shirts and bags aren’t just for students. How can you make the most of them this summer?

  • Sports camps and summer camps: Use different coloured T-shirts to distinguish between teams. It’s the best way to keep the group together

.- Festival season: A canvas bag is a must-have at a festival. You can fold it into your pocket and then use it to carry your festival merch and a raincoat

.- Picnics and the beach: Our long-handled bags with OEKO-TEX certification can carry a blanket, sun cream and a snack.

Cotton is on trend: It’s a sustainable, washable and stylish accessory that can replace hundreds of plastic carrier bags.

DIY solution: DTF film for creative souls

Do you only need 15 T-shirts for a family celebration and don’t want to pay for more than that? We’ve got the solution for you – order printed DTF film from us. You can then apply it to hoodies, trousers or bags using a professional heat press. All you need is a plain piece of fabric – ideally cotton – and a bit of skill.

Can’t meet the printing deadline? Create your own designs right at camp!

If you’ve left it to the last minute and our printing press is already fully booked, don’t despair. We’ve got a brilliant alternative for you that’ll keep the children entertained for the whole afternoon.You can buy plain cotton bags and rucksacks without any printing from our online shop, which we dispatch in a flash.

Just pack some felt-tip pens or fabric paints and you’ve sorted the activities for camp or a training camp. Children can draw on, sign or decorate their rucksacks with their group’s symbols themselves. This means everyone will take home a completely unique item into which they’ve poured their own creativity. It’s a quick, cheap and, for children, incredibly fun way to have their own ‘merch’ even without professional printing.

Express dispatch: If you require unprinted bags, we will dispatch orders received by 1.00 pm on the same day.

You can plan your summer holiday at the last minute, but don’t leave your textile printing to chance. Fill in our enquiry form or email us at [email protected]. Our team of graphic designers and printers are already looking forward to your creative ideas!
