Tea Lover Shirt

Whilst still applying the design Tea Lover Shirt directly to the surface of the garment using ink, DTG printing is a more recent development in terms of custom clothing. Direct to garment printing relies heavily on modern technology. It uses digital printers to apply the ink to the fabric of the item being customised. Artwork is converted to image file format, the clothing prepared and the design printed straight onto the material. It works in a similar way to the inkjet printer you probably have in your home and office. We just use material instead of paper.

Tea Lover Shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt

A lot has changed since we sold our first hand-printed t-shirts outside those Tea Lover Shirt. The world is a very different place. One of the big changes is the clothing that we customise. These days, ethically acceptable merchandise is a real consideration, but making sustainable choices sometimes depends on the choice being there in the first place. Thankfully, organic cotton has become firmly established as an option within our industry.

Items made from recycled materials are also beginning to be more widely available. It’s a trend which might be set to grow. After all, when global brands like Nike and Adidas are manufacturing football kits from recycled bottles, it shouldn’t be any surprise that recycled blank tees, hoodies, tote bags and jackets are making an impression in the customised market. We think turning old bottles and cotton off-cuts into waterproof tops and t-shirts that you can cherish is a great idea.
