DIY T-shirt Branding
Sometimes you urgently need a T-shirt with a specific inscription or image. It could be for a competition, a party, or another event. Professional branding is quite expensive, and if you only need the shirt for one occasion, you might not want to spend a lot of money. But there is an option to do the branding yourself—quickly and cheaply.
For this, you need a T-shirt; you can use an old one or one bought specifically from a thrift store.
Print the inscription or image on a color printer using regular paper. Carefully cut it out. Take some plastic wrap and wrap the paper in it. The film must be smoothed out as thoroughly as possible, and the excess trimmed. The film should be about 1 cm larger than the image.
Place the image on the T-shirt, cover it with a piece of parchment paper (if you don't have any, you can use a newspaper), and iron it.
Done. This type of branding is unlikely to survive a wash, but it is perfectly suitable for a one-time use.
If you need the t-shirt for more than one time, it's easier to contact an agency and have it printed. Good full-color printing costs about 200-300 UAH on your own t-shirt. If it's with the t-shirt included - 300-500 UAH. The price depends on the color of the t-shirt and the specifics of the printing. There is also sublimation printing - it's generally cheaper, but it only works on a special white t-shirt. For a single-color inscription or logo, inexpensive film is suitable - it can be ironed onto any item, but it's not very durable in terms of washing. And this DIY version is specifically for 1 time - you can take an old t-shirt or buy an inexpensive one at a thrift store.
