Bespoke Medals is your one-stop shop for creating unforgettable personalised t-shirts.
The foundation of a great personalised t-shirt is a comfortable, high-quality material. People are more likely to wear and keep a t-shirt they enjoy wearing and that’s why we only use only the best materials, like Roly Camimera 100% Polyester Technical Short Sleeved T-Shirts.
These breathable, moisture-wicking shirts are ideal for active events, keeping attendees cool and comfortable. Looking for an eco-friendly option? We now offer 100% recycled tech t-shirts as well!
Alternatively, we have a range of classic cotton t-shirts too. Our personalised cotton t-shirts are perfect for casual events and come in a variety of colours, with the option for printing on both sides for maximum impact. These shirts feature a comfortable short-sleeved design with a double-layer crew neck and reinforced seams.
All of our personalised t-shirts are available in a wide range of colours and sizes, meaning none of your participants will miss out.
The first step to designing a winning personalised t-shirt is to infuse it with the essence of your event. Here are some ideas to get you started, tailored to different event types –
Now that you’ve got the event theme in mind, let’s translate that into a stunning t-shirt design!
People are drawn to clear, concise designs. Avoid cluttering your t-shirt with overly intricate details or busy graphics that might get lost during printing. Focus on a bold logo, a clear message, or a catchy slogan. Think of your t-shirt design like a poster for your event,it needs to be easy to understand at a glance.
Resist the urge to cram your t-shirt with text. A simple slogan, motivational quote or funny saying will have a much stronger impact than a paragraph of text. People simply won’t stop to read a novel on your shirt! If you do need to include some explanatory text, keep it short, clear and use a large, easy-to-read font.
Also, remember that contrast is key and will make your design stand out. Choose colours that provide clear contrast with the t-shirt itself. Black might not show up well on dark colours like navy or green, and white can get lost on light colours like yellow or pink.
Think carefully about where you add your design. Consider how the t-shirt will be worn and what elements might obscure any key information.
Some events, like running races, often involve placing a race number on the front of the shirt, which could cover up a large portion of your design. In this case, consider using the back of the t-shirt for your main design and reserving the front for a smaller logo or event information.
Avoid placing large designs on areas that might bunch or wrinkle when someone moves, typically centre chest or back placements are generally more comfortable for all-day wear.
If you’re incorporating photos, graphics or mascots into your design, ensure they are high-resolution and clear. Blurry or pixelated images will result in a poor-quality print, detracting from the overall look of your t-shirt.
The quality of your final product will depend on the quality of the image you start with. Use high-resolution photos or graphics designed for print as well as making sure that your image is sized correctly for the area you want it to print on.
