Promotional Merchandise

As mentioned in the new year, when writing about the many things Indigo could do, we are rolling out new products and services to our clients. We are now one step closer to getting a promotional merchandise section of the site  live, both Jeremy and Lee, web developers gifted by the gods, are on the case. The production team have also been quietly working with an excellent factory in Hong Kong who can reliably provide excellent quality gifts, in small volumes, in double-quick time.

We’ll carry on keeping you informed of progress but if you have any promo merch needs, contact Alex on 0871 711 2151.

T-Shirt Reconstruction

Don’t know what to do with that corporate giveaway t-shirt that you were given when you joined your gym? Well apparently the new buzz in fashion circles is about “T-Shirt Reconstruction“. Luckily ReadyMade have a great little post explaining all which I have republished in part here:

It seems that t-shirt reconstruction has become the new knitting as a crop of books on the subject are hitting store shelves just in time for fairer skies. Titles such as Tease, Generation T, and Rip IT, are all chock full of ways to turn that over-sized concert tee into a something useable.If you’re looking for something to whip up tonight, there are plenty of projects on this here internet. I’ve got a pile in the closet that I’ve been saving to make the classic Check Out How Much I Used to Rock-Out Quilt. Future prom attendees might try T-shirt Gown for a project that is as equally ambitious but wearable.

Oh My Stars features a selection of wearable transformation tutorials (click on T-Shirt Surgery) including my faves the Off-the-Shoulder Top, and Easy Sleeves. And while it is not technically a t-shirt this springy sweater makeover by Hillary could be used to spruce up a dull tee.

Flags of the World

Indigo Clothing have all the flags of the world pre-digitised (setup) for embroidery. This means that if you want to add a flag to your promotional clothing or World Cup clothing there is NO SETUP CHARGE to pay. The flags we have are approx. 38 x 64 mm (1.53″ x 2.54″) and 8,000 stitches. These logos can be made bigger or smaller but there would be a nominal charge to do this.
If you are interested just contact Jo or Essi on 0871 711 2151 or via email.

Carpediem

Carpediem

Indigo printed up these Fruit of the Loom Premium t-shirts for Carpediem at the Carp and Coarse Show 2006, at Wembley. Carpediem running fishing holidays in France:

Surrounded on all sides by forest, the 22 acre estate comprises of two lakes - the Main Lake of 17 acres with Mirror / Common / Leather and Grass Carp of 20lb, 30lb, 40lbs - with larger carp up to 53lbs. The small lake is 3/4 acre teeming with small carp up to 12lbs which can be fished for using float tackle should you so wish.

If fishing is your thing or you want one of these great tshirts then e-mail Jean: info@catchcarpinfrance.com

Hen Night T-shirts

Jo in the Client Services Team needed some tops for a friend’s hen night. We made them up and they looked great on the night (the lucky old men in this photo were highly complimentary of the print quality we hear)!
