Change of Strings

The picture might not tell the story, but the first pic shows the original strings used, which is half the width of the second version (bottom pic). I've decided to change it because the width of the original strings doesn't really match the size of the rolled up t-shirt, therefore by changing the strings to a more 'weighty' version, it complements well with the packaging method, and definitely adds to the Raw factor I want with the overall look.

Packaging

For the packaging, I'm keeping to the method like before, the addition is only the tags which will be tied under the knot. I really like the look of the final product, as is simple and different to the typical packaging methods.

The Tee

This is the actual physical version of the tee received via Vistaprint. Due to the price, I thought the tee quality would be quite low (feared of plastic print to be used). But to my huge relief, the tees are made my Anvil, a good quality brand who produces white tees, and the graphics are printed on with ink. Overall the quality is great, and definitely a plus point if people are paying £10 for it.
Due to the nature of the project, I've decided to go for a more toned down idea of packaging the product. without any use of plastics, paper and cardboard. I've opted for a simple method by wrapping the tee with strings. The effect is simple and sophisticated, a result I'm really happy with.
A little info on the price of the tee. As it'll cost me only £2.50 to get these produced each, I'll ask for a price of £10, so a good amount (£7.50) will go into Red Cross. I believe this price point is not too cheap or too expensive, which is perfect for students and people who would like to contribute to the cause.
