Corporate hoodies are the most popular and versatile branded merchandise. From our 25 catalog categories, “Hoodies” is the top-visited one. Though the merch design differs, they work equally well for employees, event teams, or as giveaways for partners and clients.
But here’s the catch: most corporate hoodies look the same. You probably saw a lot of classic black hoodies with a tiny logo on the chest, or corporate-color hoodies with a simple merch design. Yes, it’s practical and safe, but not memorable at all, questioning the whole purpose of branded merch.
Such basic hoodies are easily made in DIY swag constructors. You pick a middle-quality hoodie, drag and drop your logo, and hit “order.” Easy, but the results are forgettable and far from premium.
On the other hand, if you want something unique and creative, the process often turns into a marathon of calls, emails, and mockup revisions. Lots of back-and-forth, waiting, and unclear steps.
So, how do you create a hoodie that’s both easy to order and truly stands out? We found the answer. 😉

Custom merch design ideas
Once you’re on the platform, the fun begins: custom merch design. Since we create items from scratch, the possibilities go far beyond printing your logo.
Here are some ways to make your corporate hoodie cool and unforgettable. Inspire with them and send us your preferences when placing a merch design request on the platform:
Custom fabric colors
As long as we sew from scratch, we can play with fabric colors, adding inside prints, colored hoods, contrast sleeves, etc.
Interchangeable velcro patches for custom merch design
Trendy, interactive, velcro patches are perfect for event teams or employee appreciation gifts.
Embroidery: always on trend
Besides being durable and wash-resistant, embroidery looks trendy and expensive, adding depth and texture. We embroider everything from simple logos to complex patterns.
All types of printing
When asking for merch design, you can go as creative as you like, from small abstract patterns to detailed illustrations or a combination of both.
Contrast patches
Bright contrast patches look trendy and eye-catching. Print the logo or the brand slogan on a patch.
Flocking
Look at this adorable 3D effect. Flocking is somewhere between embroidery and print with its velvet texture effect: softer than embroidery but more elevated than a print.
Custom labels
Embroidered or printed, silicon or fabric, labels give a feeling of a unique and limited drop, the merch design created specially for you.
Custom pullers, cords, and buttons
Small details that make a big difference.
QR codes & NFC tags
Extend your customized hoodies with scannable digital features linking to personalized thank-you videos, corporate websites, or discount offers.
AR filters make custom merch design alive
Your hoodie can come alive. Together with our partner FFFace.me, we can integrate AR effects that activate with a smartphone camera.
