What to shop for in a base layer during the colder months.

Just because the temperature drops doesn't mean people are staying inside. Many are still out hiking, fishing, hunting, and other outdoor activities. You'll still have to protect yourself from the elements, and a good idea is to use a layer clothing system.

A good outer shell is recommended, along with a warmer mid layer. But some people forget how important the base layer is. This is the layer that is in contact with your skin so it's arguably the most important layer.

A good base layer would be made of a moisture management material . Wet clothing will not only keep you colder but will also cause more friction thus more discomfort and irritation. Make sure that your base is made of a quick drying material.

Keep in mind that the temperature may rise enough that you will strip down to only your base layer. The sun's harmful UV rays will still be damaging even in colder temperatures. Your base layer should be of a sun protectant material and we recommend a UPF +50. Find a base layer that is a comfortable weight while still providing adequate sun protection.

Some fabrics are odor-resistant and can be worn for days without washing. While this is not a major concern, your fellow travelers might appreciate if you wore clothing made with fibers that fight odors.

Whatever your outdoor adventure of the day is, just remember to put on a high quality base layer. It will keep your skin... and your friends happy.

 Here are some quality base layers at a great price.

Promoting Your Business With Swag

Any festivals, fairs, or business expos you attend, you're sure to end up with a bag of promtional products (AKA swag). Promotional products is a huge industry. Why is the industry thriving? Because logoed items like hats, T-shirts and bags are traveling advertisements that leave a lasting impression, making them crucial for building brand awareness. Every time you use a logoed canvas bag, can koozie, bottle opener, etc. You are reminded of that company's product.

Loyal customers love to show their support for their favorite brands buy buying swag. Some businesses might not have the man power, money, or time to sell their logoed products online. Well now B.L.

Sizing Your Artwork for Custom Printed Shirts

What Size Should My Artwork Be?

https://www.blteeshirt.com/

Customers are always asking of what size their artwork should be. You don't need to read the print from across the street but you don't want to have to strain your eyes to read it either. Even though this is a matter of preference, there are some common measurements that you might be helpful in making your decision.
When choosing a left or right chest area, the most common size is between 3.5" to 4" across. If your artwork is taller then most customers stay within the 4" to 4.5" range.
If your artwork will be a full chest print, 12" is a popular size.
Back prints will usually be on the larger side, 12" to 13" across but shouldn't be larger that 15" in height.
Sleeve prints will usually be around 12"to 14" in height if you are printing text, artwork like a flag will be approx. 3"to 4" across.
Because artworks will be all shapes and sizes, these measurements are just guidelines and aren't written in stone. Use our online design tool to see what size would be to your liking, or we can mock up a virtual sample.
Our staff of graphic artists will be able to answer any questions you might have and help with any design issues you might have.
