Customising children's clothing: ideas and tips

· by Guillaume

Personalised children's t-shirt

Stage t‑shirts, school sweatshirts, newborn bodysuits, party outfits: personalised children's clothing is often the most touching. They also require some particular precautions.

The occasions

  • Schools and nurseries: sweatshirts and t‑shirts in the establishment's colours, end‑of‑year shows.
  • Camps and youth movements: group t‑shirts to spot children on outings (see textiles for scouts).
  • Births and christenings: bodysuits and bibs with name and date.
  • Birthdays: t‑shirt with age and name, matching outfits for siblings.
  • Sports clubs: youth jerseys with name and number.

Choosing the right material

Children's skin is more sensitive: favour soft cotton, organic cotton and textiles certified OEKO‑TEX, tested against harmful substances. More information in eco‑responsible textile labels.

Sizes

Children's sizes are often expressed by age (3-4 years, 5-6 years…) or in centimetres. Children grow fast: for use over a whole school year, allow one size up.

Safety

  • Avoid parts that can come off on toddler clothing.
  • For school trips, a bright colour helps spot the group.
  • Choose soft markings that don't itch.

Which technique?

  • DTF : colourful designs, photos, ideal for one-off items.
  • Flex : names and numbers, one child = one name.
  • Embroidery : name embroidered on a sweatshirt or bib, very durable.

Frequently asked questions

Can we put a different name on each child's t-shirt in a class?
