One of the best uses for personalised merch is a birthday. We don’t mean icing on the birthday cake at a kids party, although cake is always good. Nope, we mean taking the time to reward your staff and customers with well-designed, personalised clothing.

That’s exactly what YLD did, to celebrate their 10th company anniversary. YLD are a software engineering, product design and data consultancy. They came to us with a specific request – to find a premium t-shirt matching this colour:

So off we went looking through the various options from our blank garment suppliers. In the end they settled on the AS Colour Staple Tee in Bright Royal. This is a high quality shirt: mid weight, 180 GSM, 100% combed cotton, side seamed, and preshrunk to minimise shrinkage. 

After that all we needed to do was screen print their special birthday artwork to the front left chest and back, and here are the results:

Check out their company trip to Madeira here to see the shirts and hoodies we printed for them, worn while they hang out on a catamaran in glorious sunshine (we’re not jealous at all!).

Recently we’ve helped companies get custom mugs, caps, hoodies, polo shirts. sweatshirts, tiki shirts (yes really), socks and even cushions. Ask us how we can help you create some really cool merch for your staff or customers. Order your celebration merch now.

We’ve been busy getting in the holiday spirit… so we were happy when mobile marketing platform Appsflyer needed holiday-themed sweaters and gave us a call. We printed these sweaters using screenprinting on the AWDIS JH030 sweatshirt in Navy. It got them plenty of Twitter love!

One of the most common things people need to do with their screen printed hoodies is get them posted out, e.g. to their customers, or to their team. But that isn’t as straightforward as you might think. If you’re selling online, you’re going to need to know how much is your hoodie weight so you can charge or budget the right amount. And if you’re posting to another country, a small difference can really increase the shipping cost.

Limited Edition T-shirt Number 3:
Designed by Lowri at LowriHowells.com.

It’s maybe stating the obvious, but we live and breathe t-shirts here at Ramp HQ. And we’ve written before about how we think t-shirts are a great way to say “thank you” to your customers or users. So it’s only right that we lead by example. For every order of over £250/$250 you’ll get a very special limited edition t-shirt. For free, in the size of your choice.

The first and second limited edition designs are now totally gone, so we’re happy to launch our third design. Check it out:

It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, you’ve probably been bombarded by a torrent of GDPR opt in emails recently. If you don’t know what GDPR is, then in a nutshell, it’s the European Union laws around user data and consent. It pretty much means that you control a load more of your data around the web. Here’s what we’ve been doing to meet the standards, right after a picture of a t-shirt to make this blog more interesting:

 

1. Rewritten our Privacy Policy to make it clearer when we’re allowing any third parties access to your data, and letting you opt out of those services where possible.4.

2. Made a policy for dealing with user data requests – you can ask us to delete your information, or ask for a copy of it. We’re not Facebook, so there’s no automatic download / delete button, but we will do this for you in a reasonable timeframe.

3. Removed some third party services that track your information, that we no longer use.

4. Changed all our email sign in buttons to be opt in rather than opt out.

5. We’ll only send you emails when you’ve explicitly consented to receiving them – so that means for example, if you’ve signed up to a newsletter. We’ve seen a load of emails asking you to resign up for various newsletters, but we don’t need to do this if you’ve already consented to be on our list in the past.

6. We also send you an email if you’ve done something that means you’d reasonably expect to receive an email related to that thing – eg when you sign up; when you request a quote or artwork; when your payment goes through; when your order ships.

This is what we’ve done so far – but GDPR  is an ongoing project, so we’ll continue to improve the site for you and your data.
