Tag…You’re It!

Here at PSI we print for all sorts of clients, and a main part of our client base is design / clothing labels. For all of our design label clients (amongst other things) we also take care of their custom tagging on the garments, this is where we include a customised tag (or tag print) on the shirts to replace the t-shirt brand tag.

Watching Your Weight – GSM 101

All t-shirt suppliers use this code when describing their different garment options, and you might have been wondering, what is GSM? We thought we might go through that for you to help clarify this term.

GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre – so it’s referring to the weight of the fabric. However, a lot of people often form the opinion that lightweight fabric equals poor quality and heavyweight fabric equals good quality…..this is not always the case!

In fact, a lot of t-shirt suppliers who have lightweight t-shirts available actually charge more for this option.

So what does equal quality?
