Case study

Event merch that became a brand moment for Legl

Legl wanted giveaways that drew people to their stand and had a story behind them. So they swapped high volumes of standard freebies for a smaller range of premium merch: bamboo notebooks, branded artisan chocolate and power banks built to last.

The merch acted as a real conversation starter. People were drawn to the stand and curious to hear the story behind the products. We noticed higher footfall, more meaningful conversations and a greater number of follow-ups post-event compared to previous years.

Sustainability rating

Every product graded, and we show our working

Most suppliers put an eco label on part of their range without saying what earns it. We check every product against five criteria, and the number it meets sets its grade. This marketplace lists the products that meet at least two.

  • Eco-Friendly Materials Plus
  • Eco-Friendly Materials
  • Upcycling
  • Responsible Manufacturing
  • Positive Supply Chain Impact
  • AA4 or 5 criteria metMeets almost everything we look for
  • A3 criteria metStrong on materials and on how it was made
  • B2 criteria metClears our bar on two independent counts
  • C1 criterion metOne point in its favour, and no more. We only sell this if no viable alternatives are available.
  • D0 criteria metNothing we can evidence. We don't sell this.

Questions? We've got you covered

The biggest factor is the fabric. Across this range that means tees made from recycled cotton or recycled polyester (the latter spun from post-consumer plastic such as drinks bottles), as well as organic cotton styles. We describe the specific material on each product rather than calling the whole category eco, so you can choose on the facts. Reusable, well-made kit that people actually wear also beats single-use giveaways on waste.

Recycled t-shirts in this range use either recycled cotton, reclaimed from textile offcuts, or recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles, often blended for durability. The exact composition is listed on each product.

There are several methods. Screen printing suits large single or two-colour runs and gives a hard-wearing finish. DTG (direct-to-garment) and transfer printing handle full-colour and detailed artwork. Embroidery gives a premium, durable result that works well for smaller logos. The best option depends on your design, quantity and budget, and is confirmed on each product and at quote.

Minimum order quantities vary by product and decoration method and are shown on each product, then confirmed when you request a quote. Screen printing usually favours larger runs, while transfer and DTG can be more flexible at lower quantities.

Yes. The range includes unisex, women's and kids cuts, with most styles running across a full adult size range. Fabric weights are listed in gsm on each product, so you can pick a lightweight tee for events or a heavier, premium-feel shirt for staff kit.

Lead times depend on the t-shirt, the decoration method and the quantity. Indicative timings are shown on each product and confirmed when you request a quote, so you can plan around an event or campaign date.

Social Supermarket is a certified B Corp, and we curate this range around recycled and organic materials with supplier credentials we have checked, rather than taking sustainability claims at face value. You get mainstream, brandable promotional tees with a clearer view of what each one is actually made from.

Branded t-shirts that carry your logo and your values

The branded t-shirt is the workhorse of event kit, team uniforms and giveaways. It puts your logo on something people genuinely wear again, so the spend keeps working long after the day itself. We curate styles from lightweight tees for festivals and fun runs through to heavier, premium-feel shirts for staff kit, in unisex, women's and kids cuts with a full size range.

Materials and what makes them more sustainable

Most of the range is cotton or a cotton blend, and a meaningful part of it is made from more responsible materials. We carry tees in recycled cotton and recycled polyester (spun from post-consumer plastic such as drinks bottles), alongside organic cotton styles. We describe the specific fibre on each product so you can choose on the facts. Fabric weights are listed in gsm too, so you can match a lightweight tee around 140 gsm to a substantial 180 gsm-plus shirt for staff kit.

Decoration: print and embroidery options

Your logo can be applied by screen printing, which suits large single-colour or two-colour runs, by DTG (direct-to-garment) and transfer for full-colour and detailed artwork, or by embroidery for a durable, premium finish. The right method depends on your design, quantity and budget, and is confirmed on each product and at quote.
