Custom T-Shirt Printing Methods

The right printing method depends on your design complexity, order size, and budget. We offer multiple options to deliver the best results for your project:

Screen Printing

The industry standard for custom t-shirt printing in bulk. Ink is pushed through a mesh stencil directly onto the fabric, producing bold, vibrant colors that hold up wash after wash. Screen printing is the most cost-effective method for large orders with simple to moderately complex designs (typically 1–6 colors). Each color requires a separate screen, so this method works best when your design doesn’t have gradients or photographic detail.

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing

DTG works like an inkjet printer for fabric. It prints your design directly onto the shirt with unlimited colors, making it ideal for photographic images, gradients, and highly detailed artwork. There are no setup fees or screen charges, which makes DTG the best choice for smaller orders or one-off custom tees. The print has a soft hand feel and is durable through repeated washing.

Heat Transfer Printing

Your design is printed onto a transfer sheet and then heat-pressed onto the garment. Heat transfers are great for full-color designs on small to medium runs. They work on a wide variety of fabrics including cotton, polyester, and blends, and produce sharp, detailed results.

Dye Sublimation

Sublimation bonds ink with the fabric at a molecular level, producing edge-to-edge, full-color prints that won’t crack, peel, or fade. This method works on polyester and poly-blend garments and is the top choice for all-over prints, sports jerseys, and performance apparel.

Embroidery

Embroidery stitches your logo or design directly into the fabric using high-quality thread, creating a textured, premium finish. It’s the preferred method for polo shirts, hats, jackets, and any custom shirt that needs to convey a polished, professional look.

Printing Method Comparison

Method	Best For	Colors	Min. Order	Durability
Screen Print	Bulk orders, simple logos	1–6 colors	12–24+	Excellent
DTG	Small runs, photo designs	Unlimited	1+	Very Good
Heat Transfer	Full-color, small–medium runs	Unlimited	1+	Good
Sublimation	All-over prints, polyester	Unlimited	12+	Excellent
Embroidery	Polos, hats, premium look	Up to 15 thread colors	6+	Excellent

What file formats do you accept for artwork?

We accept AI, PDF, EPS, PSD, PNG, and JPG files. For the sharpest print quality, we recommend vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF) at 300 DPI or higher. Don’t have print-ready artwork? Our design team can help prepare your files at no extra charge.

Can I print on the front and back of the shirt?

Yes. You can print on the front, back, left chest, right chest, and sleeves depending on the product and print method. Additional print locations may have an extra cost, which you’ll see when configuring your order online.

How do I choose the right size?

Each product page includes a detailed size chart with chest width, body length, and sleeve length measurements. For the most accurate fit, we recommend measuring a shirt you already own and comparing it to our size chart. If you’re ordering for a group, our team can help you plan a size breakdown.

How should I wash my custom printed t-shirt?

To get the longest life out of your printed design, turn the shirt inside out and machine wash in cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid ironing directly over the printed area. Following these steps will keep your design looking sharp for years.

Are your custom t-shirts made in the USA?

Our custom t-shirt printing is done in-house at our production facility in the United States, staffed by over 300 employees.
