Ready to make custom apparel that stands out in a crowded marketplace? Check out these top swag design ideas and unleash your branding power!
Custom apparel continues to take center stage when it comes to corporate gifts and giveaways. And, with well-designed, professional customization, you can turn your promotional products and swag into sustainable merch that’s loved and worn on repeat.
Why quality apparel is still a sought-after swag item
While trends and technology continue to change and can make some promotional items no longer in-demand or useful, like lava lamps or custom CD cases, apparel is something that can be appreciated now and in the future.
After all, can you ever have too many soft tees that look and feel great? How about cool hoodies and sweatshirts that offer supreme comfort and designs you love? And, when it comes to timeless staples like outerwear, we’re sure you’ll agree, having styles you want to wear that offer convenient features and protection from the elements is a must!
Of course, not all custom clothing is created equally, so when it comes to the swag your recipient will love wearing on repeat, you’ll want to consider certain details, like soft fabrications, extra features like pockets that offer convenience, designs that can stand the test of time (and the wash) and of course, professional customization. Since you want your custom branding to offer the same longevity as the item it’s printed on!
While it’s true, you get what you pay for, higher quality, better swag doesn’t have to break your budget. Talk to your Gemnote rep for ideas on how you can get the best apparel with professional customization.
