Lava Ink supplied and embroidered these golf shirts for the Investment Society of the University of Cape Town. Our 175 gram golfers are a good choice when buying bulk amounts because they are made of a polyester/cotton blend fabric which means that you don’t have to sacrifice quality for quantity.  Polyester/cotton blend fabrics are more durable and washes better than 100% cotton fabrics because of its synthetic fiber content.

Viking Cape Town are suppliers of safety equipment to the maritime and fire-fighting Industries. Their headquarters are in Denmark and they have an impressive 270 service stations across the world.

This is the second part of an order that they’ve placed with us. The first was for hoodies with a reflective silver screen print.

They chose a 210 gram golfer which are of our premium quality range shirts. They also chose to embroider their logo on the front pocket position as well as below the neck on the back. We always advise embroidery for golf shirts as it gives a more upmarket appearance.

The greatest thing about being in the t shirt business is that I get to meet many different people from different industries. You meet those who are very precise and orderly – who plan months in advance to ensure that everything is perfect. Then you get the more arty laid back people who decide that t shirts would be great for the event that will be taking place tomorrow. The guys from the Apollo Film Festival is of the latter sort and we did this job within 3 days. No complaints about the deadline from our side, we accommodate all personalities ;) . Thanks for the work guys!
