External Garment Branding

In today's fast-paced and competitive market, building a recognisable brand image is crucial for any business. While internal branding is great, external garment branding is equally important. This refers to placing a logo or design on the exterior of a garment or accessory. In this article, we will explore the advantages of external garment branding.


1. Increased Brand Visibility

External garment branding is an excellent way to increase brand visibility. When customers wear clothing or accessories with your logo on it, they become walking advertisements for your brand. This exposure can help to generate interest and awareness of your brand among potential customers.


2. Brand Recognition

External garment branding helps to establish brand recognition. When customers see your logo on clothing or accessories, they begin to associate it with your brand. Over time, this association becomes ingrained in their minds, making your brand more recognisable and memorable. Can you think of a brands’ logo which has three stripes? What about a tick? Exactly!


3. Builds Brand Loyalty

External garment branding can also help to build brand loyalty. When customers wear clothing or accessories with your logo on it, they feel a sense of connection to your brand. This connection can lead to increased customer loyalty and repeat business.


4. Differentiates Your Brand

External garment branding can help to differentiate your brand from competitors. By placing your logo or design on the exterior of clothing or accessories, you create a unique identity that sets you apart from others in your industry.


5. Supports Brand Storytelling

External garment branding can also support brand storytelling. By placing a logo or design on the exterior of clothing or accessories, you can convey a message or tell a story about your brand. This can help to create an emotional connection with customers and increase brand affinity.


 

There are various types of external garment branding that you can choose from, depending on your budget and branding goals. Some of our most popular options include:


  • Woven Badges: These badges are made from a woven recycled polyester yarn and sewn onto the garment. They offer a high level of detail and durability, making them an excellent choice for long-term branding. We can also add an infill to add weight to the badge, giving it a more rounded, 3D effect.
