Hello 2021! There might be snow in the air and sub

Hello 2021! There might be snow in the air and sub-zero temperatures, but the fashion world is already gearing up for summer 2021. And a good thing too! Grey skies and grim news have made this January tougher than usual. Just when we all need a little lift, something to remind us that happier times and freer days are on the horizon, the Stanley Stella Spring Summer 2021 Collection has landed. Here at Fifth Column, like a lot of folk involved in ethical printing and personalisation, we’ve grown to really look forward to new arrivals from our friends at Stanley Stella. Their seasonal ranges tend to be a treat and this latest offering is no exception. There are a number of fabulous new styles and some scintillating new colours. So here we go, a flavour of the Stanley Stella Spring Summer 2021 Collection. If you’re into sustainably sourced clothing, it’s well worth a look.

Ever wondered how tees are made? This years @tee

Ever wondered how tees are made? This years @teesofsolidarity t-shirts are 100% organic, vegan, Fair Wear certified, and proudly printed by our team. From the production process to the content of the inks, each stage of the manufacturing process adheres to great standards of sustainability and environmentalism. In order to eliminate the use of films we use a direct-to-screen machine. We dispose of any remaining materials through accredited companies, minimising waste and recycling where possible. SolidariTee decided to use a 100% organic cotton tee, which is natural and GMO-free, means that less water than standard cotton and no chemicals are required in production. The inks used to print the design on the tee are vegan and 100% phthalate free, ensuring that no animal products, such as gelatine are used in either the ink or the emulsions. It is important to us that when you buy a SolidariTee you can be assured that sustainability and environmentalism is at the centre of how we manufacture our t-shirts and therefore fundraise, raise awareness and show solidarity with asylum seekers and refugees. To purchase your SolidariTee head to this online shop at https://solidaritee.org.uk/shop or buy one from a rep at your university! All proceeds go towards funding legal aid for asylum-seekers and refugees.

There are a lot of factors involved in creating the best custom t-shirts and finding the right combination is what ensures a great finished product 👕
And it also impacts the price 💸
Nobody wants to pay more than they have to for something.
Finding the best value for money is both common sense and good business practice. Getting t-shirts printed is no different from anything else, in that regard 😉
We thought it would be helpful to put together a short list – some t-shirt printing tips and how to keep the cost down on your next customisation project.

Creating customised clothes for the working enviro

Creating customised clothes for the working environment, whether it be corporate clothing or small business uniforms, poses specific challenges 👷‍♂️ We’re good with that, we like a challenge✊ A vital element in getting great printed or embroidered workwear is the blank garments themselves 👕 Luckily, we get to see plenty of them and thought it high time we put together another list! So, here are 9 of the best workwear garments for printing and embroidery (numbered for reference rather than ranking). Part of our best blank merchandise 2020 series.🏅

You need great blank garments if you want to produce great custom clothing 🙌 The polo shirt, first seen in Manipur, India in the late 19th century, has come a long way. It’s become a staple for printing and embroidery. A practical and versatile piece of apparel that has a wide appeal 👕 Polo shirts are great for workwear, a favourite for organisations and work places. The polo is also an enduring fashion statement and standard kit for sports related activities. Choosing the right one to personalise can make all the difference to the finished project. So here are 9 of the best polo shirts for printing and embroidery (numbered for reference rather than ranking). Part of our best blank merchandise 2020 series🏅
By the way, these polos are sustainably sourced and ethically manufactured. 🌍Many are made from organic cotton. These aspects are really important to us here at Fifth Column. We love what we do, but prefer to ink and stitch stuff which is made by principled people who are trying to make our industry more ecologically aware and socially responsible.

Last year, we plundered the Fifth Column archives

Last year, we plundered the Fifth Column archives and published an article about iconic punk t-shirts 👕🧷 It proved to be really popular and generated a fantastic response. Lots of great comments and thoughts about the old punk days 😎 So, we thought it was high time to once more raid the rails of our secret stockroom and share some more classic punk t-shirts from the Fifth Column vault 🤩
We’ve been around a long time now, but it never hurts to think back to where you came from. These days, our name is synonymous with a wide range of services – screen printing, direct to garment and embroidery – but printing t-shirts for punk bands was where it started for us. 🎶☠
We haven’t forgotten our roots. Sadly, we no longer produce these particular items, but let’s take another stroll down memory lane and look at some vintage punk shirts🤘 #screenprinting #vintage #tbt

We printed a bunch of these samples to show our customers the difference between the most commonly used inks on various garments 👕
Education is key in our industry 🤓 and with these tees you can actually see and feel how each option comes out 🤩
Plastisol is great for the print colour to be consistent a wide range of fabrics and colours 👍 Waterbased and discharge is considered to be more eco friendly but the print colours throughout a batch can vary 🎨

Are you looking for ethical t-shirts? 👕 No Swea

Are you looking for ethical t-shirts? 👕
No Sweat at Fifth Column printers, you’re talking our language. And when we say ‘No Sweat’ we mean that in more ways than one. It’s the kind of thinking we love, an area in which we specialise and also the name of one of our favourite new t-shirt suppliers. 🖤
No Sweat supply blank t-shirts that fight sweatshop labour. That’s the type of blank merchandise we’re always ready to endorse and are generally itching to print.
🤩
We have a really good feeling for the direction that No Sweat are taking. It’s great working with people who want to make a difference ✊ No Sweat tees are produced in worker’s co-operatives run by ex-sweatshop workers and the profits are used to fight sweatshop labour. We’re only too willing to spread the word for something like that. Check out our new blog post and find out a little more about No Sweat. You may decide your next run of tees to be printed on these 😍
