How to specify this method
A reliable decoration brief starts with the exact product, substrate and finish. The production file must connect the approved artwork version, marking size and position, colour reference, process settings, sample status and packing instruction. Catalogue labels alone do not establish compatibility or durability. DTG for compatible cotton-rich garments and artwork. Confirm the printable or markable area, artwork limits, colour behaviour and any surface preparation on the selected item; compatibility is conditional on its exact material and construction.
Where this method fits
- Employee campaign or onboarding apparel. Define who receives the item, how it is handed over and what action or practical need it supports so quantity and packing decisions remain auditable.
- Limited internal brand programmes. Define who receives the item, how it is handed over and what action or practical need it supports so quantity and packing decisions remain auditable.
- Customer-facing staff uniforms. Define who receives the item, how it is handed over and what action or practical need it supports so quantity and packing decisions remain auditable.
- Event crew uniforms. Define who receives the item, how it is handed over and what action or practical need it supports so quantity and packing decisions remain auditable.
Compatible materials to verify
- Rib, neck tape, sewing thread and labels. Record this component separately because a material change can alter colour, durability, weight and decoration results Do not extend a supplier document for one component to the complete product without evidence.
- Cotton-rich sweatshirt fabric or documented blend. Check the declared composition and the feel or finish on a physical reference where that attribute matters Do not extend a supplier document for one component to the complete product without evidence.
- Polyester or performance blend. Record this component separately because a material change can alter colour, durability, weight and decoration results Do not extend a supplier document for one component to the complete product without evidence.
- Rib, neck tape, sewing thread and labels. Record this component separately because a material change can alter colour, durability, weight and decoration results Do not extend a supplier document for one component to the complete product without evidence.
Product applications
- Branded T-shirts. Branded T-shirts for corporate programmes, events and team distribution, with practical guidance on specification, artwork, branding, quality control and packing. Heavyweight relaxed-fit shirt changes the handling, presentation or recipient experience and should be identified as a separate variant Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image.
- Custom hoodies. Custom hoodies for corporate programmes, events and team distribution, with practical guidance on specification, artwork, branding, quality control and packing. Heavy brushed-fleece hoodie changes the handling, presentation or recipient experience and should be identified as a separate variant Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image.
- Branded polo shirts. Branded polo shirts for corporate programmes, events and team distribution, with practical guidance on specification, artwork, branding, quality control and packing. Cotton-pique polo is the baseline branded polo shirts format to compare against the intended use Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image.
- Custom sweatshirts. Custom sweatshirts for corporate programmes, events and team distribution, with practical guidance on specification, artwork, branding, quality control and packing. Loopback French-terry sweatshirt changes the handling, presentation or recipient experience and should be identified as a separate variant Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image.
Artwork requirements
- For branded t-shirts, keep fine lines, small counters, gradients and reversed text within the limits confirmed for the chosen method, and create a simplified mark when the available area cannot reproduce the master logo.
- Approve one controlled custom hoodies proof that names the product reference, product colour, artwork version, method, dimensions and position; personalisation data should have a separate spelling and row-count check.
- Prepare artwork for branded polo shirts at the final marking size, with fonts outlined or supplied and with colours identified using the production reference agreed for the selected process.
- Check clear space, orientation and visual contrast on the actual sweatshirt chest, back or sleeve between rib and seams; a flat digital proof cannot show every seam, curve, texture or reflective change.
Proof and sample plan
- Performance T-shirt with a synthetic knit changes the handling, presentation or recipient experience and should be identified as a separate variant Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image. Prepare artwork for branded t-shirts at the final marking size, with fonts outlined or supplied and with colours identified using the production reference agreed for the selected process.
- Pullover hoodie with kangaroo pocket is the baseline custom hoodies format to compare against the intended use Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image. Check clear space, orientation and visual contrast on the actual front, back, sleeve or chest around seams, pockets and zips; a flat digital proof cannot show every seam, curve, texture or reflective change.
- Cotton-blend easy-care polo changes the handling, presentation or recipient experience and should be identified as a separate variant Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image. For branded polo shirts, keep fine lines, small counters, gradients and reversed text within the limits confirmed for the chosen method, and create a simplified mark when the available area cannot reproduce the master logo.
- Relaxed heavyweight sweatshirt changes the handling, presentation or recipient experience and should be identified as a separate variant Selection should state the relevant dimensions, colour and construction rather than relying on a catalogue image. Approve one controlled custom sweatshirts proof that names the product reference, product colour, artwork version, method, dimensions and position; personalisation data should have a separate spelling and row-count check.
Production quality checks
- Use a documented branded t-shirts sampling plan appropriate to the order and risk, isolate nonconforming units, and record the disposition rather than mixing them back into accepted stock.
- Review custom hoodies marks under normal viewing conditions and on representative colours; tolerances and the acceptance reference should be agreed before production because materials and processes have natural variation.
- Compare the received branded polo shirts with the approved product reference and proof, including colour, dimensions, construction, marking position and legibility.
- Inspect the functional points specific to this category: body and sleeve measurements, rib recovery, seam condition, surface pilling at sample stage, print cure and embroidery distortion.
Durability and care
- Printing across seams, ribs or pockets can distort or interrupt artwork. Treat this as a decision point in the brief and request item-specific evidence or a sample where the outcome matters. A branded t-shirts proof verifies layout data but does not fully demonstrate fit, fabric hand, opacity, drape or the production colour on textile. Use a blank or decorated sample when those attributes affect acceptance.
- A full zip divides centre-front artwork and must be planned in the design. Treat this as a decision point in the brief and request item-specific evidence or a sample where the outcome matters. A custom hoodies proof verifies layout data but does not fully demonstrate fit, weight, interior feel, hood shape and decoration stability. Use a blank or decorated sample when those attributes affect acceptance.
- Pique texture can reduce reproduction of fine printed detail. Treat this as a decision point in the brief and request item-specific evidence or a sample where the outcome matters. A branded polo shirts proof verifies layout data but does not fully demonstrate collar behaviour, fit, fabric texture and embroidered detail. Use a blank or decorated sample when those attributes affect acceptance.
- Rib and body fabric may show different colour response. Treat this as a decision point in the brief and request item-specific evidence or a sample where the outcome matters. A custom sweatshirts proof verifies layout data but does not fully demonstrate fit, fleece feel, rib recovery and how the mark sits on the garment. Use a blank or decorated sample when those attributes affect acceptance.
Packing and distribution
- For multi-site or event distribution of branded t-shirts, split quantities in the packing instruction before dispatch and provide a carton-level packing list that the receiving team can reconcile without opening every box.
- Before dispatching custom hoodies, confirm the consignee, access restrictions, delivery window and storage plan from current destination instructions; packaging suitability and venue acceptance are separate checks.
- Choose packaging that protects the collar shape, garment cleanliness and finished mark without adding layers that have no distribution purpose; confirm whether individual bags, dividers, sleeves or tissue are actually required.
- Label outer cartons of custom sweatshirts with product, colour, variant, quantity and destination, and use recipient or team labels only when the distribution plan needs them.
Limits and risks
- Fabric weight alone does not establish opacity, softness or durability. Treat this as a decision point in the brief and request item-specific evidence or a sample where the outcome matters. Review branded t-shirts marks under normal viewing conditions and on representative colours; tolerances and the acceptance reference should be agreed before production because materials and processes have natural variation.
- Fleece pile and stretch can change print and embroidery behaviour. Treat this as a decision point in the brief and request item-specific evidence or a sample where the outcome matters. Compare the received custom hoodies with the approved product reference and proof, including colour, dimensions, construction, marking position and legibility.
- Performance finishes may affect transfer or print adhesion. Treat this as a decision point in the brief and request item-specific evidence or a sample where the outcome matters. Inspect the functional points specific to this category: collar recovery, placket alignment, button security, size measurements, seam finish, embroidery puckering and colour contrast.
- Oversized-fit language is not a substitute for an approved size chart. Treat this as a decision point in the brief and request item-specific evidence or a sample where the outcome matters. Use a documented custom sweatshirts sampling plan appropriate to the order and risk, isolate nonconforming units, and record the disposition rather than mixing them back into accepted stock.
Planning across Georgia
Confirm the exact product substrate, surface finish, artwork data, physical sample and inspection method before a decoration process is approved.
Treat Tbilisi and the regional destinations Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi, Zugdidi as separate delivery batches. Record a recipient, access instructions, carton count, contents and acceptance evidence for every destination.
The country and city references define planning scope. They do not establish local stock, a warehouse, an office, fixed production time or confirmed delivery availability.

What should be inspected before the full run?
Use a documented branded t-shirts sampling plan appropriate to the order and risk, isolate nonconforming units, and record the disposition rather than mixing them back into accepted stock. Oversized-fit language is not a substitute for an approved size chart. Treat this as a decision point in the brief and request item-specific evidence or a sample where the outcome matters.
