    Corporate t-shirts are no longer just “event wear”.

    In Singapore, they are used for:

    • Company branding

    • Staff uniforms

    • Roadshows and exhibitions

    • Corporate retreats

    • Internal culture building

    Because of this, corporate t-shirt printing in Singapore requires more planning than regular custom orders.

    This guide is written for HR teams, marketing managers, event planners, and business owners who want corporate t-shirts done right — the first time.
