Ways you can change the world with T-Shirt Printing

Fashion in the 21st century boils down to one concept: expressing individuality. Consumers are far more interested in choosing clothes that show the world what makes them tick. And thank goodness, it is now possible to be comfortable and stylish at the same time.

Custom t-shirt printing is the ultimate way to express individuality: what could be a better way of showing the world who you are than printing the design, quote, picture or colour scheme of your choice onto a t-shirt you’ll love?

Did you know that custom t-shirt printing is not just about how great you’ll look with a design of your choice? Believe it or not, the process of custom t-shirt printing means being part of something much bigger. Here are 5 ways you can do the world a little bit of good just by printing your own custom t-shirt designs.

1. Make the choice of using eco-friendly materials with your custom t-shirts

Printing your own custom t-shirts gives you total control of what you’re wearing. Taking the time to pick the right design, text and colours is necessary for a vibrant and eye-catching t-shirt. However, you also have the choice to choose a shirt made from materials that won’t harm you or the environment.

The Organic Trade Association states that 25% of the world’s insecticide use goes to the 12.8 million acres that make up cotton crops. These are some of the most toxic chemicals in the world, meaning that everyone who wears cotton is exposed to these toxins in small doses.

When choosing a t-shirt to print on, choose a shirt that has the words “Confidence in Textiles” on it’s label – this means it’s been successfully tested for harmful practices according to OEKO-TEX ® Standard 100 conditions.

2. Help artists get their custom t-shirt designs out there

Artists wanting to get off the ground with dynamic designs will always find it difficult in today’s consumer-crazy environment. Everyone wants great t-shirt designs, but no one wants to pay artists and graphic designers.

Got a mate who wants to get their work into the public eye? Help them out by letting them create an awesome design suitable for t-shirts, for you to wear and show the world.

 

3. Promote a good cause with t-shirts

There are millions of different charities, movements, social enterprises and followings in every country looking to make a difference in the world.

Causes relating to animal welfare, child protection, homelessness, poverty, disability rights, diseases, LGBTQ rights and the environment all need strong marketing techniques behind them to stand out in the crowd. There are already some amazing t-shirt prints designs for great causes out there, so why not jump on the bandwagon – you can support the cause of your choice, designed how you want.

 

4. Help a local t-shirt printing business grow

Support your local, small businesses! By all means, you could head to your local high-street mass chain to buy a shirt thousands of other people are already wearing. Or, you could head to your local t-shirt printing shop and print a design of your very own, onto a shirt of your choosing, and support a local printing business.

There are plenty of reasons for buying products from your local stores. You will be boosting the local economy, promoting ethical production, buying one-off, individualistic gifts, and you’ll get that personal touch seldom found online or in giant chain stores.

Showing your individuality is what fashion in the 21st century is all about, so do so by supporting ethically-made garments, local artists, a great cause and small businesses in your community.
