At Artik, we’ve worked with thousands of student clubs from across Canada. Just this week we’re working on custom hoodies for a Toronto<\/a> robotics team and making branded t-shirts for a<\/a> college newspaper. From anime clubs to creative writing workshops and debate teams, I love seeing the passion and excitement that students bring into the shop! Seeing a whole team come into Artik to try on their new hoodies is just the best part of the job.<\/p>

So I want to put together a few tips for your student club to make sweet merchandise. I’ve asked a few former customers for their feedback, enjoy!<\/p>

\"T-shirts<\/p>

Why are custom t-shirts so popular?<\/strong><\/h2>

Printed tees are the most popular item for student groups. Why?<\/p>

    \n
  1. They’re super affordable<\/li>\n
  2. They look awesome<\/li>\n
  3. They help spread word about your club on campus<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    Check out all of our custom printed tees styles<\/a> but I’d recommend the Gildan Softstyle Shirt.<\/a> This t-shirt has a great price, is perfect for screen printed designs and comes in a ton of colours and sizes.<\/p>

    \"A<\/a><\/p>

    At Artik we’ve been screen printing t-shirts since 1985 so our staff are the Canadian experts. Hit us with any question and we’ll help you out!<\/p>

    Hoodies vs Sweatshirts<\/strong><\/h2>

    I reached out to a recent customer asking why their Toronto robotics team chose hoodies over sweatshirts. They wrote, “We chose hoodies because they felt more official than just a sweatshirt or t shirt. We wanted to feel more like a team than a club\/get together.”<\/p>

    \"Customized<\/p>

    It’s true! I love a sweatshirt or t-shirt but hoodies have a high end appearance that makes things feel official while still being comfy and casual. Maybe that’s why custom printed hoodies<\/a> are the second most popular merch choice for school teams.<\/p>

    \"Branded<\/p>

    I love popping a hoodie on on a cold winter morning. It’s like an extension of my blankets that I can wear outside.<\/p>

    \"Film<\/p>

    Try different styles on in our shop or check out our custom printed sweatshirt page. Our top two picks for student groups on a budget are the Gildan Classic Hoodie<\/a> and the Gildan Classic Crewneck.<\/a> Get creative with designs on the front, back and sleeves!<\/p>

    \"Custom \"Screen<\/p>

    Gildan Classic Hoodie<\/a> and the Gildan Classic Crewneck<\/a> come in a ton of sizes and colours.<\/p>

    Brand your own tote bags<\/strong><\/h2>

    Screen printed tote bags are useful, durable and just ridiculously good looking.<\/p>

    \"Custom<\/p>

    We carry canvas cotton tote bags<\/a> which have a stylish look and non-woven totes<\/a> which are more affordable and eco-friendly. When choosing your tote bag style, look at what’s on the market and imagine your logo on different materials and colours.<\/p>

    Get creative with your design!<\/strong><\/p>

    The tote bags from Slow Dog Designs show that you can get creative with your totes. It’s really just a canvas for your school team’s message so don’t feel limited to just printing your logo.<\/p>
