Create Promotional Bandanas

Creating customized items with your company's logo is a popular marketing gimmick, and has the potential to pay off in a big way. Branding simple things, like clothing, lets you give out promotional items that consumers use every day. Many online screen-printing companies offer services that allow you to customize items,by uploading your own designs and choosing your colors and fonts. Because these companies buy their supplies wholesale, and many don't have to pay for traditional retail overhead like brick-and-mortar stores or dozens of employees, you benefit with significant cost savings.


Instructions


Design and Print


1. Use design software or hire an artist to create a design or logo for your product or service.


2. Save your design in a .jpg format. If you've drawn the logo on paper, scan it at the highest quality setting and save the image as a .jpg. This is the most commonly used file type; check with your individual printer to confirm what file types are acceptable.


3. Upload your image to an online screen-printing service. Some companies will request that your design be sent to them via email and they will send you a proof before printing your bandanas. Other companies allow you to upload and alter your image yourself, from your home or business computer.


4. Arrange the lettering, logo, colors, and any images or other visual elements until you're satisfied with the overall look.


5. Approve the final proof and submit your order.
