Printed leavers hoodies are the easiest way to give your class a bold, full-colour send-off without blowing the budget. At CentralCustom we print your class name, year and design straight onto quality hoodies in as many colours as you like — perfect for photo-style artwork, bright logos and the classic "Class of" back print with everyone's name. Tell us what you want and we'll turn your idea into a hoodie the whole year group will actually wear long after results day.
Why Choose CentralCustom for Printed Leavers Hoodies
Printing is the right decoration method when your design is colourful or detailed, and it keeps the price sensible across a big order. Unlike embroidery, print doesn't charge more for extra colours, so a rainbow of house colours, a full name list or a bold graphic costs the same to reproduce as a single-colour badge.
We use modern DTF (direct-to-film) transfers and screen printing to give you crisp, hard-wearing prints that survive the wash. Every order includes a free digital proof, so nothing goes to production until you've seen exactly how your hoodie will look. We're a UK-based printer with real people on the phone, fast turnaround in term time, and clear per-hoodie pricing with no surprise setup fees hidden at checkout. Whether you need 12 hoodies for a tutor group or 250 for the entire year, you'll get the same care and the same quality.
Who Printed Leavers Hoodies Are For
Printed hoodies suit almost every leaving group. Primary school Year 6 classes love a colourful cartoon-style design with all the children's first names on the back. Secondary Year 11 and sixth-form students tend to go for a sleeker front badge with a big "Class of 2026" and surname list. University course groups, societies and sports teams use them as a keepsake that doubles as everyday wear.
They also work brilliantly for anyone who wants a design that embroidery simply can't reproduce — think gradients, photographs of the school building, mascots, or artwork a pupil has drawn themselves. If you can picture it in full colour, we can print it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between printed and embroidered leavers hoodies?
Printing lays your design onto the fabric, so it handles unlimited colours, fine detail and photo-style artwork at no extra cost — ideal for bright, busy leavers designs. Embroidery stitches the design and gives a premium, textured finish that's best for simple logos and text. Many groups print the back name list and embroider a small front crest.
How many colours can I have in a printed design?
As many as you like. Print pricing doesn't change with colour count, so full-colour artwork costs the same as a one-colour design.
Can you print every pupil's name on the back?
Yes. A "Class of" back print with the full name list is one of our most popular leavers designs. Just send us the list and we'll lay it out for you.
Is there a minimum order?
We handle everything from small tutor groups to whole year groups. Get in touch with your numbers and we'll confirm pricing and the best option for your size of order.
How long does printing take?
Turnaround is fast in term time, but leavers season (May–July) is busy — order a few weeks ahead of your leavers' day to be safe. Ask us for the current lead time when you request your quote.
Will the print last?
Yes. Our DTF and screen prints are made to survive regular washing and wear, so your hoodie still looks good long after the summer holidays.
