It is the year of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. It is the year when the nation unites as one in celebration of 60 years on the throne for Queen Elizabeth II. It is quite an achievement, being as the only other queen to celebrate a diamond jubilee was Ms. Chirpy herself, Queen Victoria. So, well done to Her Majesty.

In fact, you can’t really avoid the celebrations as the buzz of 60 years sweeps the nation. And for those of you who couldn’t give two shakes of a lamb’s tail how many years our Queen’s been in reign, there’s always the extra bank holiday or two that’s occurring – so everybody’s happy!

You may be planning to join in with the celebrations yourself, whether that be welcoming the Queen to your hometown on part of her UK-wide tour that is currently ongoing. Charity events and other forms of celebration are likely to be aplenty during the course of the next few months, and you might be looking for some items customised to support your cause. If so, look no further! We offer great rates for larger orders also.

 Or you may be planning to have a garden party over the June bank holiday weekend (or just an excuse for a few drinks without the issue of working the next day). If this is the case, why not spice up the occasion with some personalised flags or pennants, or perhaps some Union Flag badges?

Or, pushing the boat out a little more, how about some personalised clothing? We here at GF offer a vast range of items ready to be branded according to your request. From bags and hats to knitwear and aprons, we’ve got it all. Simply choose your products, select your colour, brand your choice, place your order and sit back and wait for us to deliver!

So, if you’re a self-confessed royalist or you’re quite impassive about the whole occasion and can’t wait for it all to blow over, we cater for everyone and you are sure to find something for you in our store. Perhaps this year for one reason or another you have been or will be inspired to do something special, maybe a certain event for charity, or maybe some personal goals you want to achieve. Some personalised clothing or indeed any of our other array of items might be just what you need to give yourself that extra boost.

In this diamond year, join in the fun with GF; browse our collection today – you won’t be disappointed!

The Printwear and Promotion show as ever this year provided a fantastic platform for us at GF Europe  to put faces to those voices we have spoken to over the years.  This year was no exception. At the show this year our products fell into two distinct groups: our core business and our online solutions.

Our core business consists of finishing customers’ printed and embroidered work and our ready range of  blank products.  Our blank products are brilliant for our clients to print or embroider themselves and we showed badges and pennants in various colour and size combinations.   These products are produced in a 100% high quality polyester fabric that provides great results using dye sublimation processes.  Visitors to the stand were also able to see a wide selection of printed, woven and embroidered badges as, over the years, our skills have developed.   We produce sew on badges, badges with an iron on backing or maybe with Velcro attached  and  we are experts in developing a wide variety of epaulettes. 

Our clients need only send an email with a picture of their requirements and our Customer Services team will get back with our competitive prices and delivery times. Our sashes are always well received – both as part of our Readyrange for printing and as completely printed products. Again this year at the show we were able to talk to many visitors to the stand about our embroidery digitizing, and one of our show offers was a free digitizing (up to 10k stitches) of  a clients design.

The second group of products on our stand were our e-trade and e-trade+ division. We have been developing our e-commerce online solution for the past years and these allow customers to offer branded or unbranded products. Two levels of entry dependent upon your requirement allows printed and embroidered clothing to be bought on line.

I hope all who visited our stand found something of interest as well as the popcorn which our team dispensed throughout the three days and here’s looking forward to hearing from you during 2012.

For diehard ski-fans the ski season is already upon us and, come December, those with a love of snow will be heading for the slopes! If you’re heading out for the ski season, make sure you stock up on personalised outerwear to keep your group safe, snug and identifiable on the slopes!

Investing in some personalised outerwear will help your group to look good, keep warm and bond! The other huge benefit of personalised outerwear is that, when you add your own unique design to our personalised outerwear, your group are instantly identifiable.

It can be easy to lose your chums out skiing in snowy conditions, especially when everyone is bundled up in ski goggles and bulky jackets. Creating your very own personalised outerwear ensures that you never have to get separated again! Here at Golden Finishes we supply and create a brilliant selection of high-performing, top-quality personalised outerwear for keen skiiers. Here are out favourite personalised outerwear products for the ski season:

We’re now firmly into the football season and, if you’re starting to feel your team settling into a bit of a mid-season lull, what better way to spruce up your game and your image than with some brand new printed sportswear? We’ve put together a list of our top five football strips of all time to give you a little inspiration! What are your favourites?

5. Croatia: Home Strip 2011
This is the most up-to-date kit on our list, so whether it becomes a firm favourite in the printed sportswear stakes remains to be seen. Here at Golden Finishes, we are pretty taken with this striking Croatian kit with its bold chequered design.

4. England: Home Strip 1966
No matter how striking the printed sportswear, nostalgia plays a real part in a good football kit. The classic red of England’s legendary 1966 triumph over Germany in the World Cup Final might not be the most creative printed sportswear around, but it lives on in the hearts of us Brits as a true footballing classic.

3. Real Madrid: Home Strip 1961
So often it is simplicity which makes fantastic printed sportswear. Real Madrid’s all white kit, first worn in 1961, got so much attention and looked so good that the style was adopted by manager Don Revie at Leeds United!

2. Holland: Home Strip 1974
The 1974 printed sportswear worn by the boys from the Netherlands during their stunning return to the pitch helped them cut an exciting and creative swathe on the playing field. The eye-catching, patriotic orange combined with classic white reflected the squad’s passion and excitement on an international footballing arena – stirring stuff!

1. Juventus: Home Strip Signature Stripes

You’d never have guessed it now, but Juventus’s signature,iconic black and white, vertical striped strip was originally a lovely plain pale pink. Juventus have certainly upped their game since then and have been proudly slicing up the field in their stripy pinted sportswear ever since. Of course they’ve got Notts County to thank for that! The strong contrast and graphic impact of Juventus’s printed sportwear makes it one of the most iconic kits around.

If our list has given you the inspiration for your squad’s new printed sportswear, take a look at our selection of fantastic printed sportswear options. We can print your design on any of our great sporting items, helping your boys to look the business and outstrip the opposition! Browse the site or call our helpful team on 029 2075 5733 today!

It’s amazing what difference embroidery makes to outdoor wear.  If you are looking for a new embroidered clothing range that incorporates lots of outdoor wear choices then there are many to choose from online.  From warm winter fleeces through to t-shirts and sweatshirts you’ll find all you need online at a great price. 

Ordering embroidered clothing could not be easier thanks to the wonders of design and technology.  Many personalised clothing websites offer a service that allows you to choose and customise clothing to your exact specification.  You can usually specify your embroidered clothing to have a logo or a name stitched on and even your own artwork can be accommodated.  Clothing personalisation methods have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years and the systems used are highly advanced and reliable. 

Embroidered clothing ordered online is also much cheaper than that which is ordered locally.  Online retailers are able to offer their clothing items at reduced prices as they have significantly lower overheads to worry about.  The choice online is amazing too.  If you are looking for a new outdoor wear uniform for your staff and you need embroidered clothing for the cooler months, there are many hats, jumpers, trousers, jackets and fleeces that will cater for your needs perfectly. 

Once you have ordered your embroidered clothing you can sit back and relax in the knowledge that your clothing will be with you as quickly as possible.  Your clothing will be produced to the very highest standard and ready to wear the moment you receive it.  If you have several sizes you need to order your embroidered clothing in then you can do this on the one order making for a very convenient and simple experience. 

Think about the clothing you would like to order and the amount you need.  Can you save money ordering more?  Many embroidered clothing stockists offer excellent discounts on bulk orders so why not stock up on your outdoor wear and ensure you always have a good supply of extra uniforms or clothing on hand. 

Personal orders can also be catered for.  If you are part of a club or you want a fleece or sweatshirt with your initials or name on this can also be arranged.  That’s the great thing about personalised embroidered clothing.  It can be done your way! 

When you need embroidered clothing from a company you can trust you only need to set your sights online.  You’ll find plenty of companies offering outstanding deals on the latest outdoor wear and other items.

You’ve got plenty of time to order your embroidered clothing, but it’s good to get your order in within the next few weeks just so you can make the most of the festive period.  Whether you want embroidered clothing for your workforce or yourself you are sure to find some great items that fit the bill.  Have you ever thought that personalised clothing may be a little too expensive?  The good news is that many companies are offering their lines of clothing for much less than on the high street. 

You can place an order for your embroidered Christmas t-shirts and party clothing online today and get instant peace of mind that you have got yourself a great deal and that your order is in hand.  Why not take a look at the great lines of t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, jackets, bags and many other items besides.  Promotional and party clothing can be quite an investment.  Don’t forget that in a lot of cases it can be worn for a couple of days and then put away again until next year.

It might sound cheeky, but personalised pants are a brilliant way to get some exposure for your charity! Stripping off and doing something a bit silly has long been a seriously successful method of getting some attention for charitable causes and we think that our selection of personalised pants is perfect for the job.

From Comic Relief to Prostate Action’s ‘Pants in the Park’ charity run, silly activities and fun concepts are a real hit with supporters and make your cause all the more popular. ‘Pants in the Park’ was organised to help raise awareness and money for the very admirable cause of prostate cancer. Hundred of families, individuals and supporters donned their lucky pants for a sponsored run through London’s Regents Park.

Only last week, a whole host of celebrities walked a London catwalk in their underwear to promote Red Nose Day’s up-and-coming ‘Say Pants to Poverty’ campaign. Among the models were Robbie Williams, Jamie Oliver and Jack Dee who donned their knickers over their clothes to raise a laugh, and hopefully some cash, for projects in Africa and the UK.

We think that the combination of a good cause and a silly concept is a great way to go, and putting your message on a pair of our quality, fun personalised pants is a brilliant promotional strategy. Personalised pants are a sure-fire way to get the attention and the support of a huge audience which is good news for your good cause.

Our personalised pants are available in a great range of styles, colours and sizes, for all of your supporters. Our top-quality printing service will print your personalised pants with whatever text and images that you need to get your important message across.

So harness the power of personalised pants! We’ll even send you a trail pair so you can check the quality of your personalised pants before you order in bulk! Get in touch with our friendly team on 029 2075 5733 to discuss any requirements or questions you might have about our personalised pants printing service!

You’ll know them when you’ll see them. Printed t-shirts become iconic when printed with awesome band names and images. Band t-shirts are worn as a badge of honour, as a statement about who the wearer is and as a rock’n’roll uniform. What are your favourite band t-shirt designs?

Showing your band-loyalty is important to die-hard music fans, and an instantly recognisable, cool printed t-shirt design does wonders for the popularity of your group. If you’re busy creating your own printed t-shirts for your band, check out some of top 5 iconic band tees for inspiration and find out how to put together your own iconic printed t-shirts!

5. GUNS N’ROSES
With their limited colour palette and signature guns and roses design, Guns’n’Roses printed t-shirts are instantly memorable. The symmetry of the design and the classic clash of weapons and flowers make the Guns’n’Roses printed t-shirts an enduring favourite.

4. ROLLING STONES
You know the one. The provocative red lips, the tongue? The actual band name barely features  on Rolling Stones printed t-shirts, yet the huge, attention-grabbing logo tells you exactly what the shirt is about. Of course, it helps that the Stones are icons in their own right, but the sheer, confrontational impact of their signature printed t-shirts image, and the limited colour scheme, makes this one of the all-time great band t-shirts.

3. MISFITS
Another staple black shirt, another limited palette and another high-impact image! Perhaps not as iconic if you’re not up on your punk but, the Misfit’s fiend skull design on their printed t-shirts looks cool and really pushes their image.

2. NIRVANA
Nirvana’s messed-up yellow face is synonymous with a whole youth subculture. The ideal recipe for iconic printed t-shirts has been followed to the letter with this design too. A black shirt, a basic colour palette, a simple but immediately recognisable image, all combined to make the perfect band tee.

1. RAMONES
It couldn’t be anything else. There’s not much more to say about the Ramones printed t-shirts. They look so good that they’ve become a fashion staple even for those that have never listened to the music, that’s the mark of top printed t-shirts designs. Ultimate exposure and more fans than you could even dream of!

Hopefully now you’ve got all the inspiration you need to create your very own iconic printed t-shirts. The next step is getting your printed t-shirts made! Golden Finishes create high-quality, low-cost printed t-shirts and we’ll even send you a trial shirt so that you can make sure your printed t-shirts are perfect before buying in bulk.
