How to choose the right page for your group
Start with the group you print for most often, then match the garment to the job. A school order needs clear names, sizes and repeatability, while a surf brand may need oversized back prints, sleeve hits and better colour control on darker fabric. Clubs often want the same logo across many sizes, and event organisers usually need quick turnaround with folding and bagging included.
If you are comparing options, look at order volume, fabric type, print position and how often you repeat the same artwork. That is usually what decides whether one colour or multi-colour, front print or back print, gives the best result. In our part of the Eastern Cape, coastal humidity and early morning loading can also affect drying times a bit, so planning matters.
Schools, teams and clubs that order by the carton
Sports teams and clubs tend to order in waves, often when fixtures, tours or annual events come up. School groups usually need consistent sizing, neat folding and bagging, and a clear size mark so the distribution does not become a headache at the last minute.
- Matching T-shirts for sports days, committees and house groups
- Hoodies and tracksuits for teams training in cooler months
- Caps and bucket hats for sun protection at fields and festivals
- Numbered or role-based prints for crew members and volunteers
For these jobs, repeat order support is useful because the same layout may come back term after term. We keep artwork setup clean and practical so the next run matches the first one without guesswork.
Surf-town clothing, local labels and retail runs
Jeffreys Bay has a particular look, and local brands often need garments that work for both shop counter sales and everyday wear. That usually means comfortable tees, heavier hoodies for winter, and caps that hold up in sun, sand and salt air. Prints need to stay sharp on cotton blends and darker colours, especially when the garment will be washed often.
Retail orders are usually more detail-heavy than team orders. You may need sample strike-offs, careful colour matching and separate sizing for a proper run. A small mistake on a logo can affect the whole batch, so this is where artwork checks matter most.
Events, promotions and short-notice runs
Event clothing is usually about clear identification and fast packing. The people in front of the public need the right garment in the right size, and the order has to move from print to folded stock without delay. That is why one colour prints, bold chest marks and clean back prints are common choices for promotions, beach events and community drives.
- Staff shirts for festivals, markets and sports days
- Volunteer tops for registration tables and marshals
- Promotional hoodies and caps for prize packs
- Pack-ready garments for giveaways and resale
If the job is urgent, keep the artwork simple and the size breakdown accurate. It helps with production planning and cuts down on waste, which matters when the order must leave the industrial area and reach Humansdorp, St Francis Bay or Gqeberha on time.
Print styles that suit different garments
Not every garment needs the same print treatment. A front logo might be enough for a work shirt, while a club jersey can need sleeve printing, neck label prints and a larger back mark. Heavier hoodies also handle print areas differently from lightweight tees, so the garment choice should come before the artwork final.
We handle multi-colour prints where the artwork needs more detail, and one colour prints where the job needs speed and cost control. Oversize back prints work well for surf and streetwear, while smaller sleeve and neck label prints help finish the garment properly. We also check colour matching so your navy is navy and not something close enough but not quite right.
Order patterns across Jeffreys Bay and the region
Clients in Jeffreys Bay often place repeat runs for schools, shops and local crews, while nearby towns may order in smaller batches with more mixed sizes. Humansdorp, St Francis Bay, Cape St Francis, Oyster Bay, Kareedouw and the wider Kouga region each bring their own mix of usage, from retail to fieldwear to trade clothing. Gqeberha orders are often larger and more structured, with firm deadlines and packing instructions.
Our base in the Jeffreys Bay industrial area suits bulk packing, finishing and collection planning. It also helps when load-shedding or weather slows things down, because production can be staged sensibly and garments kept in order from first print to final bagging.
Who handles what at Brand-On Screen Printing
The team behind each order matters because screen printing is a chain of steps, not just a press and a shirt. Brandon Michael Jacobs oversees the business, while Anele Mhlabeni manages production, Leandi Smit handles sales and quotes, Ridwaan Isaacs coordinates artwork, Thobeka Nene runs the press, Jason van Rooyen leads finishing and Megan Daniels keeps client communication moving. That structure helps when a job has several sizes, different print positions or a tight turnaround.
From the first enquiry to repeat orders, the aim is simple: practical advice, clean prints and clothing that suits the way your people actually wear it. If you know your group and your garment, we can guide the print setup from there.
