WHAT'S YOUR BEANIE STYLE?

Beanies are a great way to ensure your branding can be seen during the winter time. They come in all types of styles and are both functional and stylish.

Cuff less Beanies: These are the most common type you see! A cuff less beanie has a defined length, unlike its counterpart cuffed beanie. These beanies do not have extra length roll at the bottom. The edge of the beanie reaches the forehead. Pair these with a woven label for added effect!

Cuffed Beanies: You can find excess material on these beanies! The excess material can be rolled to create a straight across cuff. Its height can also be changed! We recommend styling these by placing them straight on slightly to the back. A logo or label can not only be added but also look great! Perhaps even a pom up top for fun!

Ear Flap Beanies: Fun yet effective! Ear flap beanies are beanies with sides that cover the wearer's ears. This type of beanie looks great with cool patterns, labels, fur, or poms. These are typically seen on teenagers or children.

TAG IT

One quick and easy way to keep your brand in front of your customer is to put a tag on it.  A tag on your shirt that is.

A shirt neck tag can serve more of a purpose than just give the wearer directions on how to keep a garment clean.  You can put your logo, website, inspirational quotes, or anything else you could imagine on your tag.  Having a customized tag can help differentiate your shirt from the many others that your customer probably has in their drawers.

At AMB3R T-Shirts we can design a custom tag to be sewed onto a garment or a custom label to print on a tagless tee.  The options for ways to tag your tees are endless thanks to our design team and seamstresses that meticulously ensure that each tag is properly affixed to our shirts.

Let us know how we can take your customized tee to the next level with custom branding on your tags!

SO YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT SIZES TO GET...

One thing we see a lot of clients struggle with when they have a shirt made is the size breakdown.  Some clients load up on Large sizes and therefore alienate the petite people of the world and vice versa.  It’s important to get an array of sizes so that everyone from the little guys on up to the husky gentlemen will have the opportunity to rock your gear.  Our years of experience have helped us develop two size breakdowns that we recommend to our clients.

In a nutshell, the two groupsare the youth/band clientele and the general adult crowd.  You will see that the youth crowd has a more smalls and mediums since their metabolism hasn’t changed yet, whereas the adult group has a higher percentage of the larger sizes.  Ultimately, knowing who your target audience is imperative for coming up with a final size breakdown for your next order, but these ratios can be used as a general guide.

Band/Youth Clientele

SM: 30%

MD: 35%

LG: 22%

XL: 10%

2XL: 3%

General Adult Clientele:

SM: 20%

MD: 30%

8 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CUSTOM T-SHIRTS

8 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CUSTOM T-SHIRTS

 If you have been kicking around the idea of getting some shirts made lately, please take a moment to consider the following 8 gems of wisdom.  We guarantee your t-shirt project will run much smoother if you apply this advice.

1.  Quantity, Quantity, Quantity-

The price per piece lowers when you order more shirts.  It’s better to go ahead and get a few extra shirts instead of coming back later and needing a small batch.  Those shirts will be much more expensive then...that is unless the re-order is another high quantity order.

2.  Know Your Budget-

All t-shirts are not created equal.  The prices range from low-end to high-end and everything in between, so knowing how much you want to spend going into your project will dictate what options are available to you.  You can’t get sushi and expect to pay dollar menu prices.  We all know what the results would be of that if you could and it wouldn’t be pretty.

3.  Know Your Audience-

Study your demographic so you know what styles your audience like to make sure you are creating a style they will wear again and again.

4.  Discover Your Goals for the T-Shirt-

Whether it is spreading your cause or giving away product, knowing what the goal of your t-shirt is will help make the perfect tee.  This serves as inspiration during the design phase and adds to the uniqueness of the t-shirt

5.  Your T-Shirt May Not Exactly Resemble the Shirt at the Mall-

Shirts in the mall are purchased by the thousands, use post-production washes, and use special fabrics.  Manufactures are able to create these types of garments because they purchase the materials at such high volumes.

6.  Keep Your Locations to a Minimum-

Having multiple locations on a low quantity order will only boost the price exponentially.  Try to keep the shirt simple when ordering low quantities so that you can maximize your ROI.  Additionally, too many print locations sometimes clutters the shirt and can make it an eyesore.  Try and focus on one area and on one message to keep it aesthetically pleasing.

7.  Don’t Procrastinate-  

Lack of time can not only make your t-shirt more expensive, but also stifle creativity by being rushed.  Contrary to popular belief, t-shirts do not just appear.  There is a lot that goes into that shirt being ready to be worn. In order to get the best shirt, designers need time to create and printers need time to work their magic on the press.  It’s an art.

8.  Use Fashion Extras as an Accent to Your Design-

Some extras can take a design to the next level when used tastefully.  Sometimes when the extras are thrown into the spotlight as the main attraction they can actually diminish the final product.  Our fashion specialists can help you make the right decision on

Now that you are armed with this knowledge, lets get a t-shirt project rolling!
