In the hybrid workplace, UK companies are increasingly turning to custom clothing for team building as a strategic tool to strengthen internal culture and unify employees across departments. Whether it’s for icebreaker events, off-site conferences or remote onboarding, branded apparel reinforces both identity and belonging.
Custom apparel such as polo shirts, hoodies, and jackets not only enhances your brand image but also fuels a sense of pride and professionalism among staff. More than just clothing, these garments act as wearable symbols of collaboration, helping employees feel part of something larger than themselves. As managers aim to increase brand visibility and alignment internally, custom workwear becomes a practical extension of your branding strategy - promoting consistency, engagement and long-term brand loyalty.
1. Branded T-Shirts for Icebreaker Events
T-shirts are a simple yet effective choice for corporate icebreakers. Whether your team is gathering for a charity day, cross-department mixer or onboarding event, branded t-shirts with fun slogans or company values instantly spark conversation and help break down formal barriers.
You can assign colours by department or include a light-hearted theme to keep things engaging. At Garment Printing, we offer a wide range of printing techniques, from screen printing to DTG, so you can showcase your brand with precision and style. They’re affordable, quick to produce, and ideal for boosting team spirit right from the start.
2. Custom Polo Shirts for Off-Site Conferences
Custom polo shirts strike the perfect balance between professionalism and comfort, making them ideal for off-site conferences, training days, and corporate exhibitions. Designed to project a unified brand image, these garments help your team look coordinated and credible while staying relaxed throughout the day.
Embroidered logos and high-quality fabrics ensure your brand remains front and centre, even during busy networking sessions. At Garment Printing, we offer a range of men’s, women’s, and polo styles, including eco-friendly options - allowing UK businesses to showcase both their brand and their values effortlessly.
3. Personalised Hoodies for Remote Teams
For remote or hybrid teams, personalised hoodies are a brilliant way to maintain a strong sense of identity and unity, especially when colleagues rarely meet in person. Comfortable, versatile and easy to customise, hoodies are ideal for welcome packs, virtual events, or winter team retreats.
Add your company logo, team slogans, or even individual names for a personal touch. With Garment Printing’s range of sustainable and high-quality options, you can create cohesive custom apparel that reinforces your internal culture while keeping your team warm, connected, and proudly representing your brand even from home.
4. Custom Jackets for Outdoor Team Activities
When your team heads outdoors for hikes, team-building challenges, or charity football matches, custom jackets are essential for both practicality and brand visibility. Durable and weatherproof, these garments protect against the elements while showcasing your organisation’s identity.
From lightweight softshells to insulated winter jackets, Garment Printing offers a wide selection of styles and fits. Add your logo via embroidery or screen printing for a lasting, professional finish. Custom jackets help your team stay coordinated, comfortable, and confident, whatever the weather, making them a must-have for any UK company planning outdoor corporate activities.
5. Matching Beanies or Caps for Charity Runs
Charity runs and sponsored events offer the perfect opportunity to boost brand visibility and team morale - and matching beanies or caps are a cost-effective way to do both. Easy to customise with logos or campaign hashtags, they help your team stand out while showing support for a good cause.
These accessories are practical, affordable, and highly shareable on social media, encouraging participants and spectators alike to spread the word. Garment Printing provides a wide range of eco-conscious caps and beanies, ensuring your brand is represented with both style and sustainability at every step of the event.
6. Printed T-Shirts for Team-Building Workshops
Team-building workshops thrive on creativity and collaboration - two values easily reinforced with custom printed t-shirts. Whether you're running problem-solving exercises, creative brainstorming days or departmental retreats, personalised t-shirts help establish a group identity and create a sense of belonging.
Add a touch of humour, your company’s values, or team-specific slogans to keep spirits high. Garment Printing’s flexible design tools and extensive shirt range allow you to tailor each print to match your session’s goals. It’s a simple way to boost engagement, unify your teams, and inject personality into every activity.
7. Custom Sports Kits for Company Tournaments
Company sports tournaments are a brilliant way to foster camaraderie and custom sports kits take it to the next level. Whether it’s a friendly football match, a charity cricket game, or a team relay, kitting your staff out in matching gear builds unity and pride.
Garment Printing offers breathable, performance-focused sportswear that can be customised with team names, departments, or individual players. With screen printing and embroidery options available, your kits will look as professional as they perform. It’s not just about the win - it’s about the identity your team wears on and off the pitch.
8. Eco-Friendly Clothing to Promote Sustainability Culture
For UK businesses committed to CSR and sustainability, custom eco-friendly clothing sends a powerful internal message. Whether you're organising a green initiative or simply want to embed eco-values into your team’s identity, garments made from organic cotton or recycled materials reflect your principles in action.
Garment Printing offers a wide selection of sustainable options, all customisable with your company’s logo or campaign message. Perfect for Earth Day events, sustainability workshops or everyday wear, these garments help promote long-term behavioural change while aligning your internal brand culture with your external commitments.
9. Embroidered Workwear for Cross-Department Projects
Cross-department initiatives, like office fit-outs, rebrands or launch projects, benefit from a sense of cohesion, and embroidered workwear delivers just that. These garments not only enhance your team’s professional appearance but also instil a sense of ownership and pride in the task at hand.
Garment Printing offers durable, high-quality custom workwear with embroidered logos and names that stand the test of time. Whether you're uniting facilities, IT, and marketing for a rollout or managing a high-visibility on-site activation, branded workwear helps build trust, visibility and unity across your organisation.
10. Printed Loungewear for Creative Sessions
Innovation thrives in comfort, and printed loungewear is perfect for those informal team days dedicated to brainstorming and blue-sky thinking. Whether it’s a “no-pressure” innovation sprint or a casual dress day to fuel new ideas, personalised loungewear brings a relaxed yet unified vibe.
Think soft joggers or oversized sweatshirts printed with inspirational quotes, your brand values, or a campaign theme. Garment Printing’s premium materials and modern printing techniques ensure every piece feels as good as it looks - boosting creativity, team spirit, and a sense of belonging from the first idea to the final pitch.
