Starting a Clothing Line

Think of a name and logo/design for your brand

When starting a clothing line, Every brand needs a name for itself. The name you choose should be unique and permanent as changing it regularly will create a sense of inconsistency for your brand.  Some clothing lines will have a logo that represents who they are – others just use their actual name as the logo for their brand.

When choosing the design for each item of clothing; it is good to consider if each garment will have the same design (but just different colours) or if there will be a variety to choose from.

Design clothes

Decide what garments you will use and the best print method you will use. 

As you start your clothing line it might be ideal to begin with just selling Tshirts, then as it grows you may think to supply a wider variety such as: hats, hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers, shorts etc.

The most popular printing methods used when having a clothing line is screen print, as it is more cost effective and produce a bulk amount of print for cheaper. Depending on your preference, digital print might be the look you are going for. Embroidery is another option to have on your garments which will create a professional look for your brand.
