If an employee wears a shirt with a logo, they become a walking ad for your company. Every time they go to a store, gym or restaurant, people see your brand. This is what happens every day.
Many of our customers say that more people know about their business after giving the team a custom shirt. It’s like a free ad.

2. Types of Custom T-Shirts We Offer
We use various printing methods to perfect your design. Each method is ideal for different types of orders and designs.
Screen-Printed T-Shirts
Screen printing is the most popular method for large orders. Ink is pushed through the mesh into the fabric. Since the ink penetrates deep into the fabric, the color remains vivid even if washed many times.
This method is ideal if you need more than 50 shirts. The color looks bright and professional. Screen printing costs less per shirt if you order more parts.
Embroidered T-Shirts
Embroidery adds a special touch that is not in the print. Use thread to sew your design into fabric. This gives a raised feel that looks premium
Embroidered shirts are ideal for company uniforms and special promotions. The design lasts longer than the print, but it costs more.
Sublimation T-Shirts
By sublimation, you can print your favorite color on polyester shirt. Dye is part of the fabric. In other words, the design does not crack, peel or fade.
We use this method for sports shirts, full color printing and photo design. Especially effective for exercise wear and colorful artwork.
DTG (Direct-to-Garment) T-Shirts
DTG printing is like having a large printer for T-shirts. Fine design can be printed in multiple colors. This technology is best suited for a few shirts and detailed designs.
DTG is best if the required number is 50 or less, or if the design has a large number of colors. Quality is the best, you can start with one shirt.
Heat Transfer T-Shirts
With heat transfer, you can quickly put the design into the shirt. Print the design on special paper and paste it on the shirt with heat. This method is suitable for rushing orders.
Heat transfer does not last as long as other methods, but is ideal for short-term events or if you want to try out the design before placing additional orders.
3. Best Fabrics for Custom T-Shirts
The choice of fabric affects the comfort of the shirt and the appearance of the design. We work with the best fabric suppliers to give our customers great choices.
Cotton
Cotton is the most popular material. Soft and natural texture. Because cotton is breathable, it is not too hot to wear. Also, it absorbs ink well, so the color looks bright.
Cotton shirts have various weights. Thin cotton is suitable for summer events. The heavy cotton is luxurious and lasts longer.
Polyester
Polyester is ideal for active people. It is hard to wrinkle and dry after washing. No matter how many times you wash it, it will not collapse.
Polyester is recommended when you want to use sports teams, outdoor events and bright colors. Especially compatible with sublimation prints.
Tri-Blend

These shirts have a modern, vintage look that many people love. It looks comfortable and stylish every day.
Dri-Fit and Moisture-Wicking
These special materials separate sweat from the skin. Keep dry and comfortable to wear during exercise and in hot weather. We made this shirt for professional sports teams and fitness companies.

5. Custom T-Shirt Printing Techniques Compared
By understanding various printing methods, you can choose the best option that suits your needs. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages.
Screen Printing vs. DTG
Screen prints create very durable prints with bright colors. Since the ink penetrates deep into the fabric, it lasts long without fading even after washing hundreds of times. Ideal for more than 50 orders.
The DTG can print up to detail and the number of colors is unlimited. However, since the DTG print has ink on top of the fabric, fading may become faster if the number of washes is high. DTG is suitable for small volume production and detailed design.
In terms of cost, screen prints are cheaper at around 50 sheets. DTG is suitable for orders of no more than 50 sheets or for details like photos.
Screen Printing vs. Embroidery
Screen printing can reduce cost per point while expanding color choices infinitely. It supports various fabrics and realizes the smooth and lightweight design optimized for casual wear.
Embroidery gives added value and luxury by the hairy texture. It lasts longer than most printing methods, but costs per sheet are considerably higher.
Embroidery is ideal for corporate uniforms and luxury promotions. Screen printing is suitable for casual shirts and campaigns according to budget.
DTG vs. Embroidery
DTG handles complex and colorful designs with photo-like details that are impossible with embroidery. Ideal for designs that require artistic prints, gradients and accurate shades.
Embroidery provides texture and professional appearance, but can only be used for simple designs. DTG is better for fine artwork of less than 50 sheets.
6. How to Design a Perfect Custom T-Shirt
Excellent design begins with understanding the limits of readers and printing. We have helped thousands of customers create better designs by following these simple rules.
Artwork Preparation
Start with the right file type. Vector files are most effective because they can be any size without losing quality. If there are only regular image files, make sure that the resolution is high and the final print size is large enough.
Send your artwork in the most vivid format. Most file formats can be supported, but better file results are better.
Color Selection
Color affects both the appearance and cost of the design. Screen printing costs per color, so a simple design is cheaper. If the number of colors is large, DTG may be better.
Consider how colors look in different shirts. White shirts may not appear on black shirts. We can help you adjust the color for different shirt options.
Placement Strategy
Where to place your design affects your appearance. Placing it in the center of the front is classic and always works well. The design on the left chest area gives a refined and discreet impression.
Backprints can have a big design, but they may affect your comfort. The design of side prints and sleeves is original but suitable for casual wear. You can also show us what different placements look like.
