Don't Lose Your Design | Save Your Layout

The last thing you want to do is lose all the hard work you've done. Think about it -  you've just spent 30 to 60 minutes creating your design for custom t-shirts, polos, hoodies, sweatshirts or some other apparel product. But you're not ready to order. You need to save this design and it is extremely easy to do. 

From the designer, simply click on the Save Layout button and name your design.


Save Design Variations

Whether you are modifying a template, designing from scratch or uploading your logo, you can save every variation you want. This could be image size, ink colors, text variations, multiple print locations or whatever else you come up with.


Save Product  & Quantity Variations

Not only will Save Layout store your design, but it will save the product information, including shirt color, sizes and pricing. This is terrific for saving all sorts of variations you can later use as reference for placing orders online.

For instance, let's say you create a 4-color design you want printed on t-shirts. Perhaps you are not certain exactly which style t-shirt you want nor are your sure how many you want to buy. Likely the total cost will help you come to a decision. You can save every variation for quick comparison.

For example, you can save your design using the popular Gildan 2000 Ultra Cotton T-shirt with quantities of 50 and 100. You can then change the product, say to a finer quality Next Level Premium Cotton T-shirt , and also save that in quantities of 50 and 100. You can save each variation so long as you name each layout differently. So in this example you would have 4 different saved layouts, perhaps named My Logo Gildan 2000 - 50, My Logo Gildan 2000 - 100, My Logo Next Level 3600 - 50, My Logo Next Level 3600 - 100. Now you can log into your account and open any of these variations later for quick reference.


Save Everything

The bottom line: You can save every variation you want just as long as you name each one differently. So create variations of your design on a variety of different products and colors, so you can use them later.

From your account control panel you can access Saved Layouts

Two Sisters Sponsor Survival Games With Team Colors

Christina & Katharine Vann are sisters, just having finished 8th & 7th grade at East Rockford Middle School in Rockford, Michigan. As summers go, the two girls got bored and wanted to do something exciting. Inspired by a nephews superhero themed birthday party photo they saw on Facebook and the memories of their older cousins survival games, they started planning their own Survival Games.

They planned a variety of events, including soccer, basketball, volleyball, water balloon races, water balloon fights, challenge races, scavenger hunt and more. They invited friends from their new school, old school and clubs. Everyone enjoyed a long day of vigorous competition, food & prizes.

To commemorate the event, Katharine designed a superhero themed logo and they ordered an assortment of custom t-shirts from TerrificT in team colors. Each team created their own team poster for their first event before moving on to sports & races. Each event awarded points to the event winning team with the  highest accumulated score being the days winner.

Make Your Shirts Perform


Performance T-Shirts & Sportswear Are Preferred

There is no doubt that performance fabrics are here to stay. Their popularity greatly increased a decade ago, but not everybody jumped in. Most consumers resisted mainly because of the higher cost initially and the unfamiliarity. But the fabric has evolved and is immensely popular for use as everything from running shirts to uniforms. We have seen the continued growth over the years and it's undeniable. For instance, participant t-shirts for running events used to be ordered as 100% cotton or 50/50 blend in nearly every case. But in 2016, we are seeing custom t-shirt orders for running events lean towards performance fabrics, with 70% of the orders being 100% polyester.

What is Performance Fabric?

In nearly every case for customized apparel, your performance fabric will be made of 100% polyester. The fabrics are engineered to provide maximum comfort and protection for active and excessive use. Fabrics are knitted in a variety of thicknesses, with an emphasis on breathability, stretchability and moisture wicking properties.

Moisture-wicking fabrics are made to move moisture away from the body to the fabric surface where it can evaporate quickly. Drywicking is a new variation that improves evaporation even more by using a smart two-tiered fabric with the outer layer being a natural fabric, which is more absorbent, drawing moisture away from the body for greater evaporation, leaving the skin dry.

Thermal properties are also a major factor, with fabrics having a wider range of comfort through temperature fluctuations - staying cooler in the heat and warmer in the cold. Additionally, performance fabrics are treated with a number of coatings, the most common being anti-microbial, anti-odor, wrinkle resistance, stain resistance and UV blocking.

What Performance Products Can You Customize?

Activewear of every type is available in performance fabrics, with new styles entering the market every year. All of these performance apparel products can be customized with screen-printing or embroidery. Performance fabrics are a natural for sports apparel, but are also extremely popular for use as company uniforms.

Tell Your Customers You Mean Business

Logoed Apparel Makes a Positive Impression
Logoed Apparel Makes a Positive Impression

Customers Want To Feel Comfortable

Sometimes we get so caught up in our business, we forget to look in the mirror - literally. As a business owner or manager, it's always a good idea to look at examples of how other businesses operate. Do you frequent a business that always impresses you? What do they do that makes you feel so comfortable? When you look at your own business, do you feel like your customers see you the way you wish to be perceived? If not, you need to do something about it.

What You Don't Want To Do

Have you ever needed some landscaping, remodeling or other service for your home? Maybe you've needed some other service, like auto repair or legal advice. Many times you will ask for a few estimates, not just for pricing, but to see who you will be working with. Now ask yourself "Did the company representative's appearance make an impressions on you?" Of course it did. Most likely you felt most secure with the company that not only knew what they were talking about, but LOOKED GOOD too. Don't be the company that doesn't look good.

Show Them You Mean Business

Aside from all the extremely important things you must do to impress your customers, such as promptness, friendliness, and great service or product offerings, you must look the part. And this part really is easy. You need to wear logoed apparel.

The options are endless. For many companies, such as, landscapers, builders, restaurants or bars, a simple screen-printed t-shirt (fancy or basic) for staff or servers will do the trick. For retail counter help, financial services, home services or contractors, embroidered polos or woven shirts are likely a better choice.

You know your business and how you want to present yourself. Take the step to show your customers you mean business. And if you need assistance or advice, call us - we're glad to help.
