The general demand for sweatshirts is connected not only with the fact that they are on everyone’s lips, but also with the fact that they are amazingly comfortable and stylish clothes. With the help of them, you can express your individuality, and sometimes even express yourself publicly. To do this, there is the option of creating personalized sweatshirts.
What is it and what is it for?
A personal sweatshirt is a wardrobe item bearing the name or surname of its owner. This is an original way to attract attention and let know your name. Not everyone will decide to declare their name in this way, but such a decor will definitely be individual and bold.
Sometimes such a sweatshirt can be practical if it is part of a uniform, for example, sports or university. Since sweatshirts are universal clothes and are intended, including for sports, it is not surprising that some clubs use them as a training form. Such a sweatshirt can also act as a uniform for a meeting organized by any company. It is much easier to see the name on clothes than on a small badge, if we are talking about an event involving communication with the organizers or participants.
And yet, most often, people order a personalized sweatshirt for daily wear. Widespread so-called paired sweatshirts. They, of course, can also become personalized. They will help show the world your love for each other or belonging to the same family.
Name sweatshirt options
Any sweatshirt can become a registered name, because there are drawing techniques suitable for all materials. In addition, they can be executed in any possible size, font, shape.The inscriptions are found not only on a classic sweatshirt, but also on a sweatshirt-dress, sweatshirt-sweater, sweatshirt-bomber and even on a sweatshirt-sweater.
Most often, the name is applied to the back of the product, in the area of the shoulder blades, which repeats the style of the sports form. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a name to be combined with some sort of serial number. It can be a person’s birthday, an important date, the number of your favorite athlete, or just your favorite number. Often the name is combined with the surname, then the inscription can be divided in parts. For example, the name is at the top of the back, the surname is slightly lower, and between them, again, the number fits.
However, inscriptions are found on the chest and abdomen no less often than on the back. Instead of real names, some people prefer nicknames made up by themselves or close friends, diminutive names, pseudonyms.
Regarding paired sweatshirts, here are the same options as on single ones, the main thing is that the inscriptions are made in the same style. Just names, names with one surname and a digit with a significant date. The same applies to family sweatshirts, when each member of the family has his own little thing done in the same style.
Name products made as uniforms may adhere to different rules. Sporting things have inscriptions on the back or chest, pockets, and can be combined with the name of the club. On clothes from some organization, group or company there are also emblems, names, phrases related to activities.
How to choose the right one?
When choosing a sweatshirt for future printing, you should be responsible. The service costs money, which means the thing should last as long as possible so as not to cause disappointment.
- Pay attention to the quality of the product itself: the materials used, the accuracy of the seams, the evenness and integrity of the fabric. You should consider the color of the sweatshirt. The easiest way is to put an inscription on a monophonic model, since otherwise the existing print will compete with the name and the whole meaning of the idea will be lost. In addition, for a single-color product, there will be no need to select a color for each new letter in the name. It is worth avoiding extraneous bright prints and ornaments.
- When choosing a sweatshirt, several more factors should be considered. For example, for what purpose it will be acquired. For sports, the simplest classic models are suitable, and for going to a party - decorated with sequins, with lace inserts and other decor. However, do not overdo it with them, since a drawing with a name should be the main element of the product. It is also worth remembering that sweatshirts are both light and warm, which means you need to think ahead of time at what time of the year you want to wear it.
Popular drawing technologies
- Thermal transfer. First, on a special paper coated with a transparent film, the necessary pattern is applied, and then, using a thermal press, it is fixed to the fabric. This technology is well suited for transferring the pattern directly to the finished product. However, it has one significant drawback - poor resistance to exposure, for example, to washing. The name applied in this way will not last long if it is often washed, soaked and ironed, so that soon it will begin to fly around and fade.
- Screen printing. Paint is applied to the product through a stencil. For each new color, a layer is applied. This technology allows you to use interesting effects, for example, sequins, imitation velvet. This is a reliable way of drawing a picture on a sweatshirt, but it is rarely used for a single order, since it is an expensive circulation technology.
- Flex film. Drawing on a special film is pressed to clothing. This technology is well suited for creating a personalized sweatshirt, since it is just possible to apply images from only a few (no more than three) colors for good money. Such a pattern will last a very long time; it does not fade or wash.
- Print. Inkjet printing on fabric, almost like on paper.To fix the pattern, it is subjected to processing under a thermal press.
- Picture. Acrylic painting has been widely used recently, it is absolutely handmade and original work.
