We have built up a reputation for producing high quality printed products
One week we’re printing ten shirts for a local business in Dundalk, the next week it’s fifty for an event happening in Dublin. It varies constantly.
The first thing to decide is purpose. Is this something being worn every day for work? Or is it for a once-off event? That changes the conversation straight away. Workwear needs durability. Fabric quality matters. Print method matters. Cheap shirts that twist after two washes aren’t worth saving a few euro on if staff are wearing them regularly.
For short-term events, lighter shirts can be fine. People want comfort and decent print, but they’re not expecting industrial durability. Different expectations.
Print methods vary too. Screen printing is great for larger quantities with simple designs. It’s cost-effective once you’re doing volume. Vinyl printing suits smaller runs or names and numbers on sports gear. Digital transfer works well for detailed or colourful designs in lower quantities. There isn’t one “best” method. It depends on quantity, artwork, and budget. We can advise.
Sizing is another area people underestimate. Ordering all mediums sounds tidy until half the group needs large or extra large. If it’s for a team or staff, get sizes confirmed properly. Saves hassle later. We’ve seen the panic when shirts arrive and nobody fits them.
We print for businesses and groups across Louth and the surrounding areas all the time, and many orders go further across Leinster for events or company branches. A local company might need staff shirts in Drogheda and matching ones for a site in Dublin. Consistency becomes important then — same colour, same logo placement.
Artwork quality matters as well. Logos pulled off social media often don’t print cleanly. If you’ve a proper file, send that. If not, we can usually work around it, but it’s better to start with something sharp.
If you’ve got an idea, send it on. Even if it’s just a sketch or a photo of a shirt you like. Give us numbers, sizes, and timelines. Get in touch and we’ll help you pick the right approach without overcomplicating it.
