A new client came to us needing  tee shirts in-hands within 4 days and they wanted to use a rock and roll theme. They told us that they wanted to do something similar to the drawing below… except they wanted it to look better.

We shared this drawing with our artist on Monday morning.  Within 3 hours we had created and approved the art below.

These will be printed on a Beefy Tee tee shirt using “DISCHARGE INK”. Discharge ink actually takes the dye out of the existing garment and gives it a grayish, vintage look.  The biggest advantage to discharge ink is that it does not use ink at all. It is a chemical that removes the dye from the shirt leaving a soft feeling or soft hand where the ink would have been. If we would have printed in light gray or white, we would have first had to put down a base coat, flash the item and then print over it again. This leaves a thick, rubber like feeling on the shirt. If it is a large design and uses a whole lot of ink, you can end up with a problem called Armour Plating. This is when you start getting warm and it feels like there is an armour plate on your chest.

By using an upgraded shirt, this garment was done for under $20 each, including all artwork and setup charges in 4 working days.  We could have done a cheap shirt with poor artwork for $11 each and it would most likely never been worn again.

Much of our business is done in Carmel, Noblesville, Zionsville, Greenwood and all other Indiana cities.  We have also designed apparel for Anthem, Roche, Coke and the Hoosier Lottery to name a few.

Packaging is by far one of the most important elements to your business. I don’t care if you are a lawyer, accountant, manufacturer or what product or service you offer.  Your packaging will define who you are. This even includes the way you package yourself.

There are many ways to utilize the mini tool chest. Here are a few ideas.

• A well known tool manufacturer created a brochure that their sales team showed throughout the country.  Of course the boxes were private labeled. Salespeople pre sold over 2000 units at $135 per unit.
• Does your business work with mechanics, auto service centers or auto parts stores? Package your holiday gift to your dealership clients. We frequently include chocolate.
• We have created die cut foam inserts to fit on the individual trays to hold specific parts.
• We have used these as a point of purchase display.

There are also a couple of smaller units that can be incorporated into the total package with prices ranging from $25 and up.

With a number of our clients being in the textile industry, we came up with a few ideas on how we could not only feature their product, but also co-brand it in a subtle, classy way.

By using one of our suppliers for rubber labels and another supplier for our sewing, we are bale to assemble these unique bags in the $3 to $6 range, including the cost of the label.

The coin purses are a particularly strong item, as more and more cars are using keyless entry.  They are a great spot to keep your fob, coins, keys, etc.  Each of these pieces were logo’d with both the fabric manufacturer name, which motivated them to donate the fabric and the furniture company name, which motivated them to purchase the labels and assembly.

There are numerous cases where it just makes sense to co-op your promotional items with one of your suppliers.  Logo apparel is another perfect item for this.  Do you get rebate dollars from your suppliers?  Co-op opportunities like this on promotional products are a perfect tool to cut your advertising costs.
