To celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee this year St Peter’s Church of England (Aided) Primary School in Henfield came to us with some beautiful artwork pieces. Each year group, from reception to Year 6, collaborated and created a piece of artwork to reflect a different decade along with Her Majesty’s profile, covering the time of her reign.
Each year group’s artwork was then put together with the school logo and details by our designer. The school offered tea towels and tote bags with the designs and came to us with an overall order. As the orders ranged in amounts for each item the best solution was for Direct-To-Garment printing as a transfer print would have been a minimum of ten per design and been too costly for this project.
We used a 100% cotton long-handled 150gsm bag for the printing. Reusable, sustainable and great for the environment, the bags are Oeko-Tex certified.
Direct-To-Garment, or DTG, is a process like that of printing onto paper. Instead of paper, the full-colour print goes directly onto the garment, or in this case onto promotional items such as bags and tea towels. Our sister company BEL Signs also supplied the prints on thick cards for sale and as large format prints onto foamex to be displayed within the school.
A total of 39 tea towels, 74 bags and 140 cards were ordered. The school gave us this review: “Our children’s jubilee artwork looks brilliant printed on tea towels and tote bags. Thank you for the design input and quick turnaround.”
