Promotional T-Shirts, Hoodies & Corporate Apparel in India
In the competitive landscape of Indian business, brand visibility is the currency of success. Whether you are a startup in Bangalore, a financial giant in Mumbai, or a tech firm in Gurgaon, the way your team presents itself speaks volumes. Promotional T-shirts, custom hoodies, and corporate jackets have evolved from simple giveaways to powerful branding tools that foster team unity, enhance professional identity, and turn employees and clients into walking brand ambassadors.
Welcome to GiftCompany.in, India’s premier manufacturer and supplier of high-quality corporate apparel. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about choosing the perfect fabric, understanding printing technologies, and selecting the right apparel for your specific business needs across India.
Why Corporate Apparel is the Backbone of Brand Identity
In 2024-2025, corporate gifting has shifted towards utility and style. Gone are the days of ill-fitting, scratchy t-shirts that end up as dusters. Today, companies demand retail-quality apparel that employees are proud to wear on weekends, not just at office events.
The Psychology of “The Company Shirt”
When an employee puts on a high-quality polo t-shirt with a discreetly embroidered logo, it triggers a sense of belonging. It transforms a group of individuals into a cohesive team. For your clients, receiving a premium hoodie or a well-fitted jacket acts as a high-value touchpoint that keeps your brand top-of-mind.
Marketing ROI
Unlike a digital ad that disappears in seconds, a promotional t-shirt offers thousands of impressions over its lifecycle. Every time your t-shirt is worn in a mall in Delhi, a metro in Kolkata, or a flight to Hyderabad, your brand gains visibility. It is one of the most cost-effective marketing strategies available to Indian businesses today.
Comprehensive Product Range: Finding the Perfect Fit
At GiftCompany.in, we don’t just sell t-shirts; we manufacture experiences. Our diverse range ensures that whether you need 50 pieces for a team offsite or 5000 pieces for a trade show, we have the exact specification you need.
1. Round Neck Promotional T-Shirts
The round neck (or crew neck) is the most versatile and popular choice for mass promotional events, marathons, and casual startup cultures.
- 150-180 GSM (Standard Corporate): The industry standard. Comfortable, durable, and perfect for giveaways. Available in 100% cotton or PC (Polyester-Cotton) blends.
180-200 GSM (Premium Bio-Wash): Our best-seller for employee welcome kits. These 100% cotton t-shirts undergo a bio-wash enzyme treatment that removes protruding fibers, ensuring a silky soft feel and zero shrinkage.
Dry-Fit / Active Wear: Made from moisture-wicking polyester fabric, these are perfect for sports events, cricket teams, and outdoor campaigns in humid cities like Chennai and Mumbai.
2. Corporate Polo T-Shirts (Collared)
The Polo shirt is the gold standard for office wear and client-facing teams. It bridges the gap between formal shirts and casual tees.
Matty / Pique Fabric: The classic honeycomb texture associated with major brands. We offer this in spun-poly (economical) and super-combed cotton (premium).
Tipping Polos: Add a touch of class with contrast stripes (tipping) on the collar and sleeves. We stock single-line and double-line tipping options in over 30 color combinations.
Jacquard Collars: For brands that want to stand out, our Jacquard collars feature intricate woven patterns or even your brand name woven directly into the collar fabric.
Poly-Cotton Blends: The perfect workhorse. By blending polyester with cotton (usually 60:40 or 80:20), we create Polos that are wrinkle-resistant, stain-resistant, and retain their color for years.
3. Custom Hoodies & Sweatshirts
As the corporate culture in India modernizes, the “Startup Hoodie” has become a status symbol. We manufacture premium winter wear that rivals retail brands.
Pullover Hoodies (Kangaroo Pocket): The classic startup look. Made from 320 GSM heavy fleece or loopknit fabric to keep your team warm in the air-conditioned offices of Bangalore or the winters of Delhi.
Zipper Hoodies: Versatile and easy to wear. We use high-quality YKK zippers to ensure longevity.
Crew Neck Sweatshirts: A cleaner, more formal look without the hood. Great for university alumni meets and corporate casual Fridays.
Fabric Options: We offer 100% Cotton Fleece (super warm), Poly-Cotton Fleece (durable), and Loopknit (lighter, for moderate weather).
4. Jackets & Windcheaters
For field teams and sales executives who are constantly on the move, a branded jacket is both a uniform and a shield against the elements.
Windcheaters: Lightweight, water-resistant jackets made from nylon or polyester. Ideal for monsoon in Mumbai or windy days in Pune.
Bomber Jackets: Stylish and modern, suitable for management teams.
Fleece Jackets: High-warmth jackets for North Indian winters.
Safety Jackets: High-visibility vests with reflective tapes for manufacturing units, construction sites, and logistics companies.
The Science of Quality: What is GSM and Bio-Wash?
To make an informed decision, you need to understand the technical terms we use to guarantee quality.
What is GSM? GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. It measures the density and weight of the fabric.
Medium GSM (150-180): Standard t-shirt weight. Good balance of durability and breathability.
High GSM (200-300+): Thick, premium feel. Used for Polos and Hoodies.
What is Bio-Wash? Bio-wash is a finishing process that uses enzymes to degrade the protruding fibers from the cotton fabric surface. Result: The fabric becomes incredibly soft, has a polished look, and prevents pilling (burrs) even after multiple washes. We highly recommend bio-wash for any employee-centric apparel.
Compacted & Pre-Shrunk Cotton naturally shrinks. Our premium fabrics are “compacted”—a mechanical process that pre-shrinks the fabric before it is even cut and sewn. This ensures that the Large size you order remains a Large after the first wash.
Customization Technologies: Putting Your Brand on the Fabric
A great t-shirt is ruined by bad printing. At GiftCompany.in, we use state-of-the-art technology to ensure your logo looks crisp and lasts as long as the garment.
1. Screen Printing (The Industry Standard)
Best for bulk orders (100+ pieces) and designs with solid colors.
Process: Ink is pushed through a mesh screen onto the fabric.
Pros: Extremely durable, vibrant colors, cost-effective for large quantities.
Best For: Company logos, event slogans, bold graphics.
Specialty Inks: We offer Gold/Silver foil, Puff (raised) printing, and High-Density printing for a 3D effect.
2. Computerized Embroidery
Best for Polo shirts, Jackets, and Caps.
Process: Digital machines stitch your logo using colored threads directly into the fabric.
Pros: Premium look, professional, highly durable (never fades).
Best For: Left-chest company logos, employee names.
3. Digital Printing (DTG & DTF)
Best for complex, multi-color designs, photographs, and gradients.
DTG (Direct to Garment): Like a printer for clothes. The ink is sprayed directly into the fibers.
DTF (Direct to Film): A modern technology where the design is printed on a film and heat-transferred. It works on any fabric and provides vibrant, photo-realistic results.
Best For: Creative merchandising, complex artwork, lower quantities.
4. Sublimation Printing
Best for performance wear and polyester fabrics.
Process: The ink turns into gas and infuses into the fabric fibers.
Pros: The print has zero “hand-feel” (you can’t feel the ink), never cracks or peels, unlimited colors.
Best For: Sports jerseys, marathon t-shirts, full-pattern designs.

Stand out in a crowded exhibition hall. When your entire booth staff wears matching, bright Polo shirts with your logo, it signals professionalism and makes your team easily identifiable to potential clients.
