Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a compressed t-shirt?
A compressed t-shirt is a t-shirt that has been compacted into a small shape with an insert card on top and wrapped in shrink wrap. For more information, please click here.
What is an insert card?
An insert card is a piece of paper cut to tech shape of one of the custom compressed shapes. It is printed with your logo or marketing message and placed on the compressed t-shirt and secured there with shrink wrap. The insert card is a great marketing tool as it can be used for a variety of applications such as logo placement, provide information about a product, coupons, sign up sheets, concert tour dates, sport schedules and surveys. The option also exists to have them replaced with stickers or other flat items such as CD's, DVD's or booklets. You can also add a second insert card to the other side of the compressed t-shirt if you like!
