Cultural shirts are comfortable, unified, and highly themed. Nowadays, more and more of them Teams/enterprises all choose customized cultural shirts.
Customizing a T-shirt generally includes the following three steps: designing artwork, selecting a base shirt, selecting a printing process, and, equally important, calculating the price. Xiaobang can talk about the issues that need attention from these aspects. .
1. Design artwork
Some people like to print a lot of things on custom-made cultural shirts. , people can’t see the theme and don’t know what you want to express.
So when we customize cultural shirts, the pattern design should be like sending a telegram in the past. A few simple words can summarize the theme.
2. Choose the base shirt
The base shirt of T-shirts can be divided into: combed cotton, high quality Count cotton, Tianzhu cotton, quick-drying style, etc.;
The styles include: loose version, slim fit, etc.;
The collar styles include: round neck, POLO, etc.;
The sleeves include: long sleeves, short sleeves, and three-quarter sleeves;
The shoulders include pressed shoulders, dropped shoulders, etc.;
There are also T-shirt colors, sizes, etc. , you need to choose according to your own situation and preferences. In summer, loose combed cotton and high-count cotton are very good choices, and they are more breathable.
3. Printing process
If you want to customize printed T-shirts, you must first understand the printing process ~ the four major Printing technology refers to: screen printing, direct printing, heat transfer and embroidery.
1. Screen printing
The printing process is to use a laser imagesetter to produce the film based on the design drawing, and then screen printing, printing and other complex processes , you need to make a color plate, which mainly includes several steps: design, film production, printing, printing and drying. Screen printing. Therefore, this way of printing cultural shirts can be understood as a way of combining manual work and machinery.
2. Digital direct injection
How does the digital direct injection process print patterns? In fact, this This process is a purely machine-based printing method. It connects a computer to a digital direct inkjet printer to print the pattern directly onto the T-shirt. You can also think of it as a printer that we often see in our lives. T-shirts are quite on paper, and then print the pattern from the computer onto the T-shirt.
3. Heat transfer
The principle of heat transfer process is similar to tattoo stickers. The pattern needs to be printed on Special paper is then laser cut, and then high-temperature pressing is used to print the pattern onto the garment, which is suitable for patterns with rich colors or gradients. The color of the bottom shirt is best to be white or light-colored. The printing will look like nothing and has good breathability. If the dark bottom shirt needs to be reinforced with color paint, the printing will have a slight gelatinous texture.
4. Embroidery
The advantage of embroidery technology is that it feels more high-end and the pattern is not easy to disappear. The disadvantage is that the craftsmanship It is cumbersome and costly, and is only suitable for small area production.
4. Calculate the price
Finally, when it comes to money, price is of course a very important step. The biggest difference between customizing T-shirts and buying ready-made clothes is that the price of ready-made clothes is fixed, while the price of customized T-shirts includes two parts: base shirt and printing. The price of base shirt is fixed, and the printing price depends on the size of the pattern you print. Color, type of process selected, etc. are calculated. Everyone should understand clearly during the customization process, choose and match the pattern with good effect and high cost performance.
If the color is single, you can choose silk screen printing; if the color is rich or has gradient colors, you can choose direct printing or heat transfer; for exquisite small icons, you can choose embroidery. Specifically, the design drawings are used for analysis. Xiaobang will talk about this first today. Below are real case pictures of Xiaobang.
