How to Design the Perfect Summer T-Shirt for Your Group or Event

Designing a custom t-shirt for a summer event doesn’t need to be complicated—but getting it right can make a big impact.

Start with the purpose of your t-shirt. Is it for a school group, sports team, or corporate event? Your design should reflect the occasion. For example, bold and fun graphics work well for summer camps or Gaeltacht trips, while cleaner, branded designs suit corporate events.

Next, choose the right material. Lightweight 150gsm cotton is ideal for warm weather, while premium 190gsm options offer extra durability if the t-shirts will be reused.

When it comes to printing, selecting the right method matters:

• DTF (Direct-to-Film): great for vibrant, detailed designs

• Screen Printing: best for larger orders with simple graphics

• DTG (Direct-to-Garment): ideal for smaller runs with complex artwork

• Embroidery: perfect for a premium, long-lasting finish

Keep your design simple and readable. Bright colours, clear fonts, and strong contrasts work best outdoors.
