16 Dec How to Order a Custom Festival Sweatshirt from Griffin Designs – A Step-by-Step Guide
If you’re gearing up for a community festival, charity event, or a large-scale music gathering, a personalised Festival Sweatshirt is one of the most practical and impactful ways to bring your team together. Not only does it keep everyone warm during those chilly British evenings, but it also gives your event a cohesive, professional identity. At Griffin Designs, we specialise in high-quality vinyl heat pressing and have proudly supplied customised garments to organisations across the UK for many years. Whether you’re preparing for a local family fun day or an outdoor festival with thousands of attendees, ordering a custom Festival Sweatshirt is simple especially when you know the steps.

Step 1: Explore Our Clothing Catalogue
The first stage in ordering your Festival Sweatshirt is choosing the right garment for your needs. We recommend customers to visit our full clothing catalogue at www.fullcollection.com, where you’ll find a wide selection of blank garments and accessories. This includes cosy sweatshirts, lightweight festival options, oversized styles, and premium finishes that hold vinyl exceptionally well.
It’s important to know that when browsing, consider factors such as colour choice, warmth, fabric weight, fit, and style. Festivals often require garments that can handle both daytime activity and cooler late-evening temperatures. Make a note of the brand, product code, and colours you’re drawn to, as this information helps us provide the most accurate quote later.
Step 2: Create a Design That Prints Well
Once you’ve selected your garment, the next step is creating the artwork for your Festival Sweatshirt. Because we hand-cut and heat-press vinyl, your design must meet certain quality standards to ensure a clean, professional finish.
Keep these guidelines in mind:
- Use clear, easy-to-read fonts. Decorative or script fonts can become illegible when cut from vinyl.
- Avoid overly complex artwork. Designs with tiny details often need to be simplified to work with CAD cutting and handweeding.
- Provide high-resolution artwork. Crisp lines and strong contrast help us produce the best results.
- Think about contrast. A bright vinyl on a darker sweatshirt (or vice versa) creates maximum visibility in festival environments.
If you’re unsure whether your artwork will print well, we offer professional design services for an additional cost. Our team can refine your logo or create something entirely new to match your festival theme.
Step 3: Contact Our Sales Team
Once you’ve chosen your sweatshirt and prepared your artwork, it’s time to get in touch. Reach our sales team at sales@griffindesigns.co.uk or 01903 858910. Share the garment details, quantity, artwork, and any special requests. From there, we’ll advise on the best vinyl type, placement options, and garment suitability. We’ll also prepare a bespoke quotation, with prices for personalised garments starting from £11.00 + VAT, making them ideal for both small community groups and large festivals needing matching apparel.
Step 4: Choose Your Vinyl Finish
To make your Festival Sweatshirt truly stand out, we offer a range of speciality vinyl options. Whether you want bold branding for volunteers or fun, eye-catching designs for festival merchandise, you can choose from:
- Standard matt vinyl for a clean, durable finish
- Neon vinyl for bright, high-visibility designs
- Glitter vinyl for added sparkle and flair
- Flock vinyl for a soft, textured, premium look
Each finish brings a unique style, allowing you to match your festival theme perfectly.
Step 5: Take Advantage of Bulk Discounts
For larger festivals and organisations, we offer 20% off orders of 15 or more identical units. This is ideal for staff clothing, steward uniforms, vendor tops, or branded merchandise.
