Made for reunions that need a proper keepsake
Reunion shirts are usually ordered for school classes, sports squads, church groups, work teams and family gatherings. The idea is to have one shirt that brings everyone back to the same date, same memories and same place. We print the shirt artwork to suit the group, whether it is a clean front logo, a back print with names, or a full event layout with year, venue and class photo details.
Because reunions often include people of different ages and body shapes, we offer a full size range and can split the order by size if needed. The print method is chosen to suit the artwork and the quantity, so a small run of 20 shirts can be handled differently from a 300 shirt school reunion order. That keeps costs sensible and the print finish consistent.
- Class reunions and old school get togethers
- Sports club anniversaries and tour weekends
- Family reunions and heritage celebrations
- Corporate reunion events and team anniversaries
Print styles, shirt choices and size range
We work with plain shirts supplied for printing, or we can produce the order on suitable garments depending on the brief. Common options include short sleeve T-shirts, long sleeve shirts and heavier weight tops for cooler KZN weather. For Durban and the coastal belt, lightweight cotton or cotton rich fabric is popular because it breathes better in heat and humidity.
For reunion shirts, the most common print areas are the left chest, full front, full back, and sleeve placement for dates or short slogans. If the artwork needs a lot of colour or small text, we check it properly before printing so names and numbers stay sharp. If the group wants a more premium finish, we can discuss print placement and size changes to suit the garment. A neat artwork layout makes a big differance to the final result.
- Size runs from youth through to adult 5XL, subject to garment choice
- Short sleeve and long sleeve options
- Front, back, sleeve and chest print placements
- Single colour, multi colour or mixed artwork layouts
Artwork with dates, names and event details
Reunion shirts usually need more than a simple logo. They often carry dates, class years, surnames, nicknames, venue details and a short line that marks the occasion. Our in-house artwork team checks what you send, then prepares it for print by sorting sizing, spacing and colour separation where required. If the file is low quality, we can redraw or tidy it up so the final shirt still looks clean.
We also handle film output and screen making in house, which helps when the design needs separate layers for different colours or when a repeat order must match the first run. This is useful for schools and clubs in KZN that come back later for extra sizes or a few more shirts for late joiners. It saves time and keeps the same look across the batch.
- Artwork checking before production
- Vector redrawing for logos and text
- Colour separation for multi colour prints
- Test printing for sensitive layouts
Where reunion shirts work best
These shirts suit events where people want a visible reminder of the day and a practical item they can keep wearing. They work well for picnics, hotel functions, school halls, sports grounds and church venues. In Durban, reunion groups often collect shirts before the event so everyone arrives in the same colour, which helps with photos and quick head counts.
We supply from Umbilo and deliver to Durban Central, Berea, Pinetown, Westville, Amanzimtoti, Ballito and Pietermaritzburg, with courier delivery to other parts of South Africa as well. If your reunion is in a coastal area, a mid weight shirt usually stays comfortable outdoors. For colder inland venues, a long sleeve or heavier cotton option may suit better. The main thing is to match the shirt to the place and time of year.
- School class reunions
- Club anniversaries and sports days
- Family heritage weekends
- Company milestone events
How the order is prepared and what power is needed
There is no installation needed for reunion shirts and no gas or electrical supply required from your side. Once the order and artwork are approved, production takes place in our print and screen facility in Umbilo. We handle screen stretching, emulsion coating, exposure, washout, touch up and registration as part of the print preparation process, then print and finish the garments for dispatch.
If you are collecting for a large group, it helps to send sizes in one clear list with names, shirt quantities and any special notes. For example, some groups want different surname prints on the back, while others want all shirts the same except for size. Clear information upfront prevents delay and avoids reprints. It is a simple process, but details matter.
- No installation required
- No power supply needed from the customer
- No gas connection needed
- Courier or local delivery available after production
Care instructions and order checks before print
Reunion shirts should be washed carefully so the print lasts. Turn the shirt inside out before washing, use cold or lukewarm water and avoid harsh bleach. Do not iron directly on the printed area. If shirts are dried outside in strong coastal sun, it is better to avoid leaving them on the line for too long because excessive heat can age the fabric quicker. That small bit of care helps the shirt keep its colour and shape.
Before placing the order, check the spelling of names, the exact year, the event date, and whether the venue is written correctly. Also confirm the shirt colour, size breakdown, print position and the number of garments per size. If your group needs extra shirts later, let us know early so the same artwork can be used again and the colour stays consistent across the run.
- Confirm all names and spellings
- Check date, venue and year details
- Approve size breakdown before printing
- Tell us if extra shirts may be needed later
