Printing babywear in Nijmegen

Most designs are simple and all the more beautiful for it. Think of:

• Name and date of birth, possibly with time, weight and length, as a birth announcement you can wear.
• A short text, such as a nickname, "little sister" or a joke from the parents.
• A small illustrationor a brother or sister's own drawing, in full colour.
• Matching clothingfor parents, such as a women's T-shirt made of organic cotton with the same text as on the romper.

Babywear is small, so a design needs to be more compact than you're used to. As a guideline:

• Romper or little shirt, chest:8 to 12 cm wide, depending on the size.
• Bib:10 to 12 cm wide, centred in the middle.
• Pyjamas:on the chest, or a small name of 5 to 6 cm on the leg.
• Back:a name between the shoulders, about 10 cm wide.

Don't make the letters too thin: a name stays more legible if the letters are at least a centimetre high. In the digital proof, you'll see exactly how the design looks on the chosen size.

All babywear is pressed in our own workshop: the print is a transfer that's set into the fabric using heat. With babywear, we pay extra attention to a washable, soft finish. We keep the print compact and choose a flexible transfer that moves with the fabric.

• Cut vinylis used for a name or text in one or two colours. Crisp and sharp down to small letters, in 104 colours, including gold, silver and soft shades.
• DTF transferis the choice for a drawing, photo or design with lots of colours. It's thin and flexible and also works on dark fabric, such as navy pyjamas or denim.

In this category you'll find babywear from Babybugz and Larkwood, supplemented with children's clothing from Kariban. Alongside basics, Babybugz also has some sturdier items, such as denim dungarees and a striped Breton top. Larkwood makes, among other things, a striped pyjama set, and there's also a long-sleeved pyjama set made of organic cotton. In the overview, you can filter by size, colour, material and certification, such as GOTS organic cotton. Not sure about the size? For a baby gift, it's better to choose a size up, so it'll still fit in a few months' time.

• 1. Choose:find the romper, bib, pyjamas or little shirt and choose the colour and size. From 1 item.
• 2. Put together the print:choose 1 colour or full colour per position and upload your design, or type the name that should go on it.
• 3. Digital proof:you'll always receive a proof first. Check the spelling of the name and the date carefully; we only press after your approval.
• 4. Pressing and collecting:you collect it in the centre of Nijmegen or have it delivered, for example directly to the new parents.

Many baby gifts go to parents in the area, from Nijmegen-Oost and Lent to Malden and Beuningen, but we also ship to the rest of the country.

Babywear is often washed a lot. Turn printed clothing inside out, wash at 30 or 40 degrees with a mild detergent and preferably line dry rather than tumble dry on high heat. Never iron directly over the print. This way, the name stays legible, even if the romper later gets passed on to a younger brother or sister.
