We get enquiries from customers looking to get hoodies custom printed for a university society/leavers hoodies etc very regularly, so I thought I would put together this article to give advice on how to keep the price down. I realise many students are working to a tight budget so here are my top 3 tips to save money on society hoodies.
Tip 1: Keep your design to a single colour. It costs more to print more colours. If you really do need to have more than one colour in your design, try to use as few as possible and avoid effects such as gradients, shadows and fine lines. If your society logo is multi-coloured, consider using a mono version. You can have the hoody itself in pretty much any colour you can think of, so consider using a striking combination of a vibrant garment colour and single print colour. The results can be quite stunning.
Tip 2: Do you really need personalisation? Some hoody printing companies will charge extra for a personalised print (for example individual names, numbers etc) so consider dropping this from your requirements if you are looking for the best price. The reason why many print firms charge extra is because of the additional time it takes to set up and print personilizations on garments, as opposed to printing a run of garments with identical prints.
Tip 3: More is Less! Well, when it comes to quantity at least. Basically, the more people in your society you can persuade to purchase a hoody, the more bulk buying power you will have. Larger order quantities inevitably mean bulk buying discounts, so put in some effort to drum up enthusiasm within your organisation - perhaps design a few samples and post them onto your facebook page or send them out in an email. Many members will jump at the opportunity to own one once they see how the finished items will look, and the price becomes less important as the emotion of "I want one of those" takes over!
So there you go, a few essential tips to help you to get a good deal on custom printed hoodies for your uni society. Don't forget to plan ahead and allow plenty of time, so that you can avoid having to pay any "rush order fees".
