# College Fest T-Shirt Printing in Chennai: The Organizer's Master Blueprint

Whether organizing Saarang at IIT Madras, Kurukshetra at College of Engineering Guindy (CEG), or Milan at SRM Institute, the official fest t-shirt is the single most visible badge of identity for thousands of students and volunteers.

1. Timing Your Production Cycle

College fests operate on razor-thin deadlines. Avoid last-minute vendor scrambles by adhering to this timeline:

  • 30 Days Out: Finalize vector artwork (minimum 300 DPI, CMYK color space).
  • 21 Days Out: Circulate Google Forms or student portal links to collect exact sizes.
  • 14 Days Out: Place the bulk production order with final student size breakdowns.
  • 5 Days Out: Receive tracked consignment on campus, conduct QC check, and pack into department kits.
  • 2. The Golden Fest Size Curve

    Avoid ending up with fifty leftover XXL shirts while medium runs out within ten minutes. Based on data across 50,000+ collegiate orders in South India:

  • Small (S - 38): 15%
  • Medium (M - 40): 35%
  • Large (L - 42): 30%
  • Extra Large (XL - 44): 15%
  • Double XL (XXL - 46): 5%
