Tips for Successfully Starting Your Own Clothing Brand!



A step-by-step plan for a flying start

With print-on-demand, you can sell your designs on clothing while we take care of production and shipping. You focus on your brand and designs — we handle the rest.
Dreaming of starting your own clothing brand? Good news: nowadays, you don’t need a large investment or a warehouse full of clothing to get started.
In this guide, we explain step by step how to launch your own clothing brand.



Step 1: Define your brand identity

A strong brand has a clear look and feel. Think carefully about:

  • The style of your designs
  • The message of your brand
  • The colors and overall vibe of your collection

The clearer your identity, the more recognizable your brand will be.



Step 2: Define your target audience

Before you start designing, it’s important to determine who will wear your clothing.
For example:

  • Streetwear enthusiasts
  • Sports-focused audiences
  • Humorous merchandise fans
  • Premium fashion customers

Your pricing also plays an important role. A high-end brand often chooses different products than a fun or merchandise-focused brand.



Step 3: Choose the brand that fits your vision

The foundation of your clothing brand starts with choosing the right garments. Different brands have their own style, quality, and audience.
Stanley/Stella
Sustainable, premium, and focused on quality. Perfect for high-end brands with a conscious mindset.
Build Your Brand
Streetwear vibes, trendy fits, and competitive pricing. Ideal for modern, creative brands with an urban look.
AWDis (Just Hoods / Just Cool)
Known for comfortable hoodies, sweaters, and sportswear. Versatile, colorful, and popular among young brands.
Gildan
Affordable, durable, and offers a wide range. Perfect for beginners or brands focused on volume.
Jack & Jones
Stylish, high-quality, and a well-established name. Great for brands aiming for a commercial and fashionable look.



Which brand suits your target audience?

  • High-end → Stanley/Stella
  • Urban → Build Your Brand
  • Sport → AWDis
  • Budget / high volume → Gildan
  • Trendy mainstream → Jack & Jones



Step 4: Create an account

Getting started is easy — just create an account. From there, you can select products, upload designs, and build your collection.
This is where your clothing brand starts to come to life.



Step 5: Choose the right combination of product and design

Not every design works on every garment.
For example, a large design works well on the back of a hoodie, while a small logo fits better on the chest of a T-shirt.
Think carefully about:

  • The size of your design
  • Placement (chest, back, sleeve)
  • The color of the garment
  • Printing technique: is DTG better for your design, or does it stand out more with DTF?

The right combination ensures your clothing looks professional.



Step 6: Make your designs print-ready

Quality = professionalism. Therefore:

  • Use the correct dimensions (listed per product)
  • Always design in 300 DPI
  • Upload as a PNG with a transparent background

This ensures sharp prints and a clean finish.



Step 7: Order samples (with a discount!)

Before launching your collection: test your products!
When building a brand, testing is essential. Some designs are perfect right away, while others may need adjustments.

  • Check product and print quality
  • Take photos for your webshop
  • Get feedback from others

Use the discount code Sample15 for a discount on your samples.



Step 8: Promotion and launch your webshop

Once you’re satisfied:

  • Upload strong and clear product photos
  • Write compelling product descriptions
  • Promote via Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, influencers, or ads

And… launch day! Build your own community with strong content that makes people fans of your brand. Create a recognizable style and engage your audience to grow your brand.
