The Brief

In 2023, Blanks for Brands was commissioned to produce 160 custom T-shirts for members of Senior Executive Course 45 (SEC 45) of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru.

The cohort brought together senior participants from the armed forces, civil service and private sector, making quality and presentation particularly important.

Trust Built Through Experience

Interestingly, the project began with a single Arewatees T-shirt.

The project lead had purchased one of our T-shirts and was impressed by both the quality of the garment and the finish of the print.

That experience gave him the confidence to approach Blanks for Brands when SEC 45 needed custom apparel.

Getting the Colours Right

For the project, we used Gildan 5000 T-shirts in two Pantone colours:

Forest Green Pantone 5535 C

White Pantone 000 C

The combination provided a clean, professional look appropriate for the participants and the institutional setting.

The Result

160 Custom T-shirts

Gildan 5000 Premium garment choice

2 colours Delivered on time

We coordinated the sourcing, printing and fulfilment of all 160 T-shirts and delivered the completed order on time.

The client was impressed with the final result.

The project demonstrated how product quality can turn an individual customer experience into institutional trust.

A quality experience creates trust. Trust creates bigger opportunities.
