Promotional Clothing - Great Tips To Help You Buy The Best Products
Buying Promotional Clothing can be challenging if it's the first time you have done
it but by following these Top Tips written by an expert you are sure to end up with great result.1.Make sure you buy as directly as you can
If you were looking to buy some fresh fruit you could be pretty sure that going direct to the farm where it is grown would be the cheapest place to buy it. If you live in town then farms are not too abundant so maybe a visit to your local wholesale market would be the next best choice as long as you don't mind getting up at five o'clock in the morning . However if you are like most people you will probably pop down to your local store and be happy to buy your fruit there. So if you now look back at your fruit supply chain you can see that the farmer, the wholesaler and the supermarket all need their cut of your money which is why the local store is the most expensive place to shop. It's the same with Promotional Clothing, wherever possible try to buy as directly as you can, in most cases that will be from a company that buys from the manufacturer then prints the clothing in-house and supplies them to you. You can be sure that you are picking up a big tab if your supplier is using an third party printer to brand your goods.
2.Find out where the clothes originate from and how they are manufactured.
Brand integrity is vital these days so make sure you protect your brand and even more importantly your client's brand by being able to trace back where your garments came from. There have been many high profile cases in the UK where major well known, high street brands have been in big trouble by purchasing goods that have been manufactured in places that use child or prison labour or in factories that are unhealthly. Ask your supplier where their goods come from and check the labels to see if they are telling the truth.
3.Ask about who is printing the garments and whether their printer conforms to EU regulations.
Up until a few years ago most screen printers simply tipped all their old inks and photographic chemicals directly into the main sewage systems but this is now illegal. A good screen printer will have an ISO1400 accreditation which proves that he disposes of all the waste elements from his production process safely and in conjunction with EU regulations. Ask your supplier for confirmation that your products are being printed in an environment that complies all the current legislation.
4.Get some examples of previous work carried out by your new supplier
Any printer worth his weight will be only too delighted to show you examples of work they have produced for other clients. Check to see if they display examples of clients work on their sites or see if they have won any industry awards. If they can't show you any on-line or in person then be very careful about proceeding with them. Lastly ask if you can come along and see your shirts being printed, this is a very common request especially for large runs and is know in the trade as an "on 'press" inspection.
Let's just recap on what's important, be sure to research who you are buying your garments from, it can save you a great deal of time and money. Make sure you see examples of previous work and that you know where the garments originate from. If you cover off these simple points then you will be well on the way to getting a great job done.
