Questions about Custom T-Shirts?
FAQ
Everything you need to know about styles, decoration, and delivery.
What is the best fabric for a custom t-shirt?
It depends on your use case. 100% combed ringspun cotton is the retail gold standard for soft hand and premium feel. Tri-blends are ideal for a vintage heathered look. Cotton-poly blends are the budget workhorse for bulk orders. Performance polyester is built for athletic teams and events.
What's the difference between screen printing and DTG?
Screen printing uses a stencil and plastisol or waterbased inks — best for bold designs, high volumes, and maximum durability. DTG (Direct-to-Garment) uses water-based inkjet-style printing — best for full-color photographic designs and small-batch runs.
Are custom t-shirts machine-washable?
Yes. Follow the garment label — most of our t-shirts are machine-washable cold and tumble-dried low. For longest print life, turn tees inside-out before washing.
Is there a minimum order for custom t-shirts?
Most of our t-shirts have a 1-piece minimum for decoration. Wholesale bulk discounts for larger team and brand orders begin at 12+ pieces.
Do you offer bulk team and brand pricing?
Yes. Our bulk pricing kicks in at 12+ pieces and scales down significantly at 50+, 100+, and 500+ pieces. Reach out for a custom quote.
How quickly can I get custom t-shirts for an event?
Standard production is 10-14 business days after proof approval. For tight deadlines, we offer rush production (3-5 days) to ensure your team or brand activation is ready on time.
