Ways to Elevate Your Screen Printed T-Shirts and Branded Merchandise to Stand Out

Everyone loves t-shirts to commemorate big events. It’s almost expected by your attendees that they’ll have something to take home to remember the event by. A hat, or a bag, or anything!

Unfortunately, when something is assumed and expected, it can be taken for granted. That’s why it’s so important to come up with creative ideas for branded merchandise.

That’s where our experience comes in. Bullseye Activewear and Promotions has been coming up with big ideas for big events for over 32 years, and we’ve got some ideas for what’s next.

Here are some of the top events where screen printing shines, and ideas that will make yours sparkle:

Company Anniversaries

Celebrating a company's anniversary is a significant milestone. Custom screen-printed t-shirts, hoodies, or tote bags can be a great way to commemorate the occasion. Not only do these items make excellent keepsakes for employees, but they can also serve as promotional tools, helping to spread the word about your business.

Big idea: Consider using a photo of your location in your screenprinting design. Perhaps you can show a before and after of your location. Or an image of a recent product that typifies your success. Customers and employees will immediately recognize the image and that’s good brand marketing.

Corporate Events and Team Building

Corporate events, including conferences, seminars, and team-building activities, are perfect opportunities for screen-printed merchandise. Providing participants with custom-printed apparel or accessories like hats, lanyards, or water bottles can foster a sense of unity and pride.

Big Idea: Recently, we created a huge cooler with a company’s logo on it. People can actually dive into this thing! Now that’s memorable. What idea does that inspire? Let us know what you are thinking about, and we can make it happen.

Fundraisers and Charity Events

Screen printing is a fantastic way to create merchandise for fundraisers or charity events. Custom t-shirts, bags, or even posters can be sold to raise funds or given away as a “thank-you” to donors and event participants.

Family Reunions, Weddings and Parties

Family reunions are all about bringing people together, and what better way to celebrate than with matching custom t-shirts or hoodies? Screen-printed apparel can feature your family name, a unique design, or even a humorous quote that reflects your family’s personality.

Big Idea: Get creative with the design. Using photographs on t-shirts or hoodies is a great keepsake. Or choose something more personal, like bags or even footwear! It’s hard to find something we can’t print on, so let’s get creative!

School Events and Sports Teams

Schools and sports teams can benefit greatly from screen printing. Custom jerseys, spirit wear, or event-specific t-shirts help build school pride and camaraderie. They’re a fantastic way to unite students, parents, and staff around a common cause or event.

Big Idea: Maybe there is a big rivalry you can spotlight with creative messaging. Or, perhaps there is a charity you can raise funds for that ties into the big game. T-shirts build community and spirit.

Community Events and Festivals

Local community events and festivals are a perfect match for screen-printed merchandise. Whether it’s a street fair, cultural festival, or a local market, custom apparel and accessories can help promote the event and give attendees something to remember it by.

Big Idea: Think about photos of a classic car, instead of a drawing. Photos on a t-shirt are unique and will create a bond with your attendees. Or, create branded tote bags for people to fill as they visit the participating vendors.

Yes, screen printing is a great and proven way to generate brand recognition at your next event. But the best way is to make sure the branded merchandise is as memorable as your event is.

Whatever you are planning for next, go ahead and think outside the box. At Bullseye Activewear and Promotions, we can help bring clarity to your vision, and then bring your vision to life!
