Promotional Clothing

Why Use Branded Clothing?

A durable business gift, clothing is a walking billboard for your marketing message and is bound to leave a lasting impression.

Promotional clothing isn’t just for your customers. Employees can wear clothing with your company logo and marketing message to create a clear, uniform brand image. A company-branded uniform is also said to help unite a team and provide a morale boost.

Clothing also makes for an affordable, yet high impact prize giveaway at an event or trade show.

Q: What clothing materials are available?

A: There are various types of materials to choose from when it comes to promotional clothing. Depending on what the garment is being used for as well as considering environmental factors will determine the material you choose. See below a handy list of materials you will come across: 

• Organic Cotton – Organic cotton is grown by natural methods and avoids hazardous synthetic pesticides or genetically modified seeds. It is a sustainable way of producing cotton.
• Fairtrade Organic Cotton – As above but a standard that provides economic benefits to the farmers through a guaranteed minimum price.  
• Recycled Polyester – Also known as (rPET) uses PET as a raw material, often found in waste materials such as plastic bottles. A manufacturing process will turn these waste materials into new products – and so they are recycled, helping to reduce wastage into landfills.
• Textured Polyester – A manmade fibre which has excellent moisture wicking and quick dry performance properties. Perfect for sportswear.
• Cooltex® - Registered 100% polyester micro mesh fabric designed with superior  dry wicking properties.
