Autumn has already forced everyone to take out soft and cosy hoodies from the hidden corners of the closet. Such a jumper warms you like nothing else on cool days. Therefore, more and more caring employers are looking to warm their employees (fleece… more fleece!) and their souls (print right to the heart) with corporate hoodies.
However, in order not to print blue with purple and meet deadlines, you need to choose the right type of branding... Do you want to avoid such an unpleasant fuck-up? Then we tell you how to brand clothes for employees and not screw up.
1. The fastest way to brand hoodies
If you need a hoodie super urgently, then the option of printing on an already made hoodie (without an individual style) is just for you. The main thing is to choose a fast printing technology and prepare a layout. To do this, simply discuss your wishes with the MOODua elf manager.
The fastest application methods are paper, silkscreen printing and digital printing. Once the design is approved, the production of the hoodie will take five to seven working days. However, again, everything depends on the circulation and production load.
2. Corporate hoodies: the most budget option
Limited budget? We'll warm up anyway! For this, there is thermal transfer — the cheapest way to apply a single-colour or multicolour image (including a photo) to the fabric. The cost of printing does not depend on the number of colours. And when the circulation increases, the price becomes even lower.
This type involves the transfer of the image from the paper to the hoodie due to heating and guarantees clear colour reproduction.
3. The brightest version of a hoodie with a logo
For connoisseurs of bright colours and impressions, we have prepared several printing options.
Digital printing — perfectly conveys gradients and has no limitations in choosing the number of colours.
Thermal transfer is a bright and clear colour rendering, but you will have to forget about the gradient. Transferring the picture through the paper does not convey the expected colour transition. It is better to choose simple prints.
Silkscreen printing — the advantage of this type of screen printing is that you can print very bright images. This is one of the most durable types of printing, but also one of the most expensive and time-consuming.
4. The most original option
The company logo is already a common practice. For now, it may seem monotonous and uninteresting.
Therefore, originality combined with brand style is the priority of our MOOD designers. You can provide your signature colour or a brand book, and we'll offer unique hoodie branding options for your employees (something you can wear for more than just work).
Choose the colour of the fabric or elements of the hoodie, choose your own size grid and create completely unique corporate clothing for your employees.
Take into account that the more creative the hoodie, the longer its production period, namely from ten to fourteen working days from the moment of approval of the layout. So plan ahead!
How to choose fabric?
As for the composition, everything is simple: 80% cotton and 20% elastane. It's just a "perfect match" for the comfort of your employees! Cotton — for comfort and "breathability" of the fabric, elastane — for elasticity and wear resistance. Another issue is the footer.
There are two types of the footer (fabric): three-thread and two-thread. Both are pleasant to the touch and comfortable to wear. The difference between them is the density, cost and availability of fleece.
Depending on the way the lining threads are woven into the fabric, there are several types of triple thread: loop, diagonal and with fleece.
Already confused? Now let's explain. The front side of any footer is smooth, but the reverse side has its own characteristics. The footer loop has a looped reverse, and the footer diagonal is relief. Loops of two additional threads are placed on the fabric with fleece from the back, forming a soft pile.
How to choose the fabric according to the weather?
Three-thread footer is a higher quality and warmer material. In winter, a three-thread with fleece keeps heat insulation, the autumn version is a regular three-thread, the lightest is a two-thread. If the budget is tight, take two-thread footer, it is cheaper.
Personalized hoodies are a great option for a corporate gift that won't gather dust in the closet like one of the souvenirs. MOODua helps to take into account all the features of your order and prepare unique, well-thought-out clothes for your employees.
We are sure that your KPIs will immediately fly up from such care!
