How to create branded hoodies for your business.
Here are a few considerations to nail down before designing your ideal branded hoodie.
1. Decide what the hoodies are for.
Your branded hoodies may look different depending on the purpose. Are you designing them for a corporate event, as a gift to customers, or simply to boost employee team spirit? Whatever the case, the purpose of your branded hoodies should shape the style (whether zipped or pullover) and placement of your branding.
2. Choose your colour scheme.
Don’t be shy to experiment with your brand’s colour palette. Bold and bright statements are perfect when you’re designing brand hoodies for customers. But you might need to tone it down a bit when gifting to partners attending a corporate event. Don’t forget to factor in logo colours too as secondary options.
3. Pick your main design elements.
Once you’ve laid the foundations, you’ll now have an idea of what the main design elements of your branded hoodies are going to be. For example, it could be a logo-only hoodie or based on an iconic product image.
4. Select the perfect placement.
Now that you’ve got an idea of what your brand hoodie looks like, it’s up to you to choose the best placement for your company logo and slogan. You may opt for front or back depending on the design. Placing a logo in the top right corner is a popular choice for front designs, while people tend to fill up the back space with larger images, slogans and contact details.
5. Work out your numbers and sizes.
How many branded hoodies will you need? If it’s for a large corporate event, you might want more numbers and varied sizes to ensure there’s enough for everyone. But, if it’s for a small number of inhouse employees, you might want to instead ask for their size preferences and go with a print-on-demand supplier. Speaking of which…
6. Get ready to print your design.
Once you’ve finished your designs and have determined the number of hoodies you need, you can bring them to life by using a print-on-demand or bulk-buy service. Make sure your hoodie design is the best it can be and suited to your chosen garment before sending it for print.
