Your name in chemical elements, on a T-shirt
Ni, C, Ho, La, S: Nicholas is spelt with Nickel, Carbon, Holmium, Lanthanum and Sulfur. Your name (or the name of the person you are treating) becomes a row of elements from the periodic table, in a clean, colourful or downright funny style.

Clean black
White outlined tiles with atomic numbers and masses, plus the line “Rare element since” followed by the year of your choice. On a black or navy T-shirt.
XL tiles
Large tiles coloured by chemical family, with a raised effect and a short phrase such as “Made of rare elements”. On a white T-shirt, so the colours really pop.
Your own element
Your very own element, with its data sheet: group, state, reactivity… Ready-made sheets for Dad, Mum, Grandad, Grandma, a teacher or a friend, or write your own words.

How is a name written in elements?
When letters form a real symbol, we use it (Ni, C, Ho, La…). If not, we use an element whose symbol starts with that letter, with its other letters faded so the name stays readable: the R in Harry becomes Ra (Radium). And because J and Q do not appear in any symbol of the periodic table, they become “mystery element” tiles. Symbols, atomic numbers and English names are all accurate.
Beyond six tiles, the name moves onto two lines. On the T-shirts, the name is never repeated under the tiles: the elements are enough to read it.

Everything you need to know about the periodic table name t-shirt
Does every name work?
Yes. Every letter finds its place: the exact symbol where one exists, otherwise an element whose symbol starts with that letter, and a “mystery element” tile for J and Q. Names of up to 20 letters work, with longer names moving onto two lines.
Why does the T-shirt colour depend on the style?
Each style is designed for one fabric colour: white lines for Clean black and Your own element (on black or navy), and coloured tiles on white for XL tiles. That way the design is always clear and high-contrast.
How do I choose the right size?
The adult T-shirt is a Gildan 5000 with a classic unisex fit. Lay a T-shirt you like flat, measure from armpit to armpit, and compare with our guide: widths are 46, 51, 56, 61, 66 and 71 cm and lengths 71, 74, 76, 79, 81 and 84 cm from S to 3XL. If you are between two sizes, go for the larger one.
Will the print survive washing?
Yes, direct-to-garment printing is made to last. Wash at 30 °C inside out, do not tumble dry, and iron on the reverse.
How long does delivery take?
Each T-shirt is printed on demand in the UK and then shipped, so allow 4 to 7 working days. For Christmas, we recommend ordering at least two weeks ahead.
Can I change my order after placing it?
Your file is generated automatically as soon as you pay, then sent for printing. If you spot a mistake, email us quickly at contact@science-gifts.co.uk and we will do our best while printing has not started. As a personalised item, the T-shirt is not covered by the 14-day cancellation right (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If it arrives with a printing fault or is damaged in transit, we will replace it.
