You have the design ready. You can mentally picture how it will come out, but you’d like to see a tangible example before you order 500 printed T-Shirts or 1000 printed tote bags, for example. So before investing huge sums of money in large clothing orders that may not correspond with your brand, read the following information to find out more about the offers we currently offer on samples, they may help you gain some peace of mind.

T-shirt printing samples - dtg printing sample

Samples for direct to garment printing:

Direct to garment printing (or DTG) is a relatively new technique and is starting to become more and more popular amongst all clients from all industries. It works especially well on white garments. If you are looking for a specific colour or texture, then we would recommend investing in samples.

1 GD01 in white + 1 GD01 in black + 1 tote bag in black + 1 tote bag in natural = £50.00 + VAT*

T-shirt printing samples - screen printing sample

Samples for screen printing:

Screen printing is a process which requires setting up screens for each of the different colours that you have in your design. There are set-up costs involved with this technique that can prove costly and time consuming. Due to the time taken we cannot always guarantee the availability for Screen printed samples.

Samples for embroidery:

Embroidery is a long-lasting and very durable technique. Set-up for this technique involves preparing a digital file ready for the embroidery machine, which can incur costs. Colours are also limited to the thread colours, so if you have any doubts as to the colour you would like to use, in addition to pricing, we highly recommend sampling first.

Samples are available to order for all of our printing techniques and, for some orders, this is imperative as it allows companies and individuals to make sure that everything looks 100% perfect and make any necessary changes before placing the order. Not only does it enable you to check the look of the print, it also allows you to try on various sizes, see if the colours match those of your brand, and get a feel for the quality of the product.

It is a good idea to order a sample if you fall into any of the following categories:

  • Bulk orders
  • Companies printing promotional merchandise
  • Businesses printing personalised workwear
  • Corporate gifts
  • Fashion resale
  • Offline marketing campaigns
  • Those starting their own T-Shirt business

We also offer blank samples for those who’d like to try the product out for size or colour swatches at very economic prices for those who’d just like to see the colour and touch of the fabric.

What’s more, if you like what you receive (as we’re sure you will) and go ahead with the order, we’ll reimburse the cost of the samples you requested (subject to minimum order). See terms and conditions below for more information.
