Design High-Quality Company T-Shirts for Employees

Start off on the right foot

"Real Thread ups our game to 11. From day one, all our employees have that next level swag that makes them feel part of the team." - Bobby Jones, Founder & CEO of PRPL

Onboarding is a critical part of the employee experience. The first 90 days (and even the very first day) can make a huge difference in an employee's perception of the team that they've joined. Company t-shirts are a small but significant tool for making new team members feel welcome. It's like joining a new sports team and being given a jersey — it's that little extra step that makes people realize "Oh hey, I'm a part of this now."

We're firm believers in the fact that custom t-shirts and other swag can go a long way in lifting employee morale and uniting teams. We've got a couple of tried-and-true tips for crafting a great employee experience around custom-branded swag.

Build a mailable swag kit

Create a branded swag kit that you can ship to your remote employees — or even to in-office team members before their start date! — so that everything they interact with in their workday, from the shirt they're wearing to the water bottle they're drinking from to the pen they're writing with, is on brand. We've got a wide selection of products that are just waiting to be decked out with your logo, a team motto, or any other fun design you can think of.

Best news yet? Real Thread's fulfillment services make it super easy for you to ship swag kits directly to your dispersed team members.

Unite teams around common goals

Remind your employees of the bigger picture and the common goal you're all pursuing with matching company t-shirts. Maybe even take it a step farther and have "Company Shirt Fridays" or some other fun initiative that gets your team members excited.
