Design Tips from Our Experts: Custom Flannel Shirts
Custom flannel shirts are cozy, modern, and a little more polished than your average tee. They work great for employee uniforms, fall merch, outdoor crews, company stores, clubs, and events. Because flannel almost always has patterns, its important to think about how your design will look.
Left Chest Logos Are the Classic Choice
For company uniforms, employee gifts, and staff apparel, left chest embroidery is usually the preferred option. It gives it a higher end feel, so you can even sell it for more money than a print.
If you really want to keep your brand front and center, have your logo printed or embroidered in white or another high contrast color.
Use Contrast So Your Logo Stands Out
Plaid and Buffalo patterns can be pretty busy looking, so contrast matters. Another thing to consider the flannel pattern will fall differenly on each shirt so your background will change.
Avoid thin lines and hard to see designs that depend on the background color being a specific way to see your logo. If you really want to play it safe, consider a woven or embroidered patch instead.
Choose the Right Weight for Warmth
Not all flannels are the same warmth. The lighter the thread oz, the lighter the flannel. For a lightweight flannel, opt for a flannel around 5oz. For something designed for colder weather, choose something 5.5oz or higher. Heavier flannels and flannel shirt jackets are better for outdoor crews, cool-weather uniforms, and premium employee gifts.
Lightweight flannel is best for indoor teams, retail staff, school clubs, and retail. Heavier flannels are designed for outdoor workwear.
Match the Decoration Method to Your Artwork
The last thing you want is a heavy embroidery design on your back if you are looking to wear a flannel as a work uniform. Not to mention, back embroidery designs that are large can be costly. Make sure to check out our decoration guide to learn which option is best for you.
For a really cool flannel, consider doing embroidery on the left chest combined with a larger screen print on the back. You'll get branding on both sides which will give your company logo maximim visability.
Best Customization Options for Flannel Shirts
Flannel has texture and thickness, so the best decoration method depends on your artwork style, how detailed it is, and where you want the design placed.
Direct-to-Film (DTF)
Choose DTF if your flannel design has lots of color, small details like photographs. This no minimum option works for either the left chest, back or sleeves.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is best for bold designs with solid areas of color, especially larger back prints. It is a great choice for teams, crews, events, and bulk custom flannel shirt orders.
Embroidery
Embroidery gives custom flannel shirts a premium stitched look and is ideal for left chest logos, names, and company branding. It works best for simple detailed logos.
