Popular Uses for Custom Kids’ Clothing
Schoolwear
Add your school logo or emblem to sweatshirts, cardigans, polo shirts, jumpers, and more. Embroidery is a particularly popular choice for schoolwear — it looks fantastic and lasts wash after wash, making it the right investment for garments that need to perform season after season.
Sports Teams
We stock t-shirts, jackets, shorts, and training tops suitable for kids’ sports kits. We can add printed names and numbers in a range of styles — perfect for football, rugby, netball, athletics, and more.
Events & Group Activities
Fun runs, charity walks, birthday parties, scout groups, holiday camps — custom printed kids’ t-shirts and hoodies make a great keepsake and create a sense of team spirit. We can also personalise bags, backpacks, beanies, and caps to complete the set.
Printing Methods for Kids’ Clothing
We offer three main decoration methods for custom kids’ clothing, each suited to different artwork types, garment styles, and order sizes.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is the most cost-effective method for larger runs. Pantone-matched, water-based inks produce bold, accurate colours on t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies. Ideal for school events and sports kits where the same design goes on 20+ garments. Our inks meet REACH regulations — no restricted substances.
Embroidery
Embroidery is the premium choice for school logos and club crests on polo shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets. It’s durable, tactile, and holds its quality through repeated washing — making it the preferred method wherever kids’ garments are worn regularly over a long period.
DTG Printing
Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing works well for photographic or full-colour artwork on smaller quantities. Water-based inks are printed directly into the fabric, making them soft to the touch — particularly suited to garments worn close to the skin.
Kids’ Garment Brands & Sizes
We source kids’ garments from established wholesale brands with consistent sizing and a wide age range. Key garments in our catalogue include:

Safety & Compliance
All printing inks and embroidery threads used on kids’ garments comply with REACH regulations, which govern the use of hazardous substances in textiles sold in the UK and EU. Our water-based and plastisol inks are tested to ensure they are free from restricted substances including phthalates and formaldehyde.
Garments supplied are sourced from established manufacturers who comply with UK and international children’s clothing safety requirements. If you have specific compliance documentation requirements for a school or organisation tender, get in touch and we can advise on what we can provide.
Custom Kids’ Clothing FAQs
What is the minimum order for custom kids’ t-shirts?
Our standard minimum order is 20 pieces for screen printing and embroidery. For smaller quantities — for example, a single sports team or a small class order — transfer printing is available with lower minimums. Get in touch to discuss your requirements and we’ll advise on the best approach.
Are the inks safe for children’s clothing?
Yes. All inks used on kids’ garments comply with REACH regulations and are free from restricted substances. Our water-based inks are particularly well suited to children’s clothing — they’re soft, breathable, and safe for skin contact. Plastisol inks used in screen printing are also REACH-compliant and do not contain phthalates.
