Every decorated long-sleeve puts your brand in front of customers for an entire wear cycle — not just a single event.

Every order includes a free creative proof before production begins.

Our long-sleeve tees are decorated with industry-standard plastisol screen printing and eco-friendly DTG for bold, illustrated chest graphics that hold up through repeated wash cycles. Every print is tested on cotton, merino, and tri-blend surfaces for color-fastness.

  • · Plastisol screen print for opaque bold graphics
  • · DTG for photographic detail on cotton
  • · Tested wash-fastness on every fabric type

Performance-grade decoration for merino and recycled poly

For merino wool and recycled-polyester performance long-sleeves, we use water-based transfers and tonal embroidery to keep the fabric's stretch, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties intact. Every decoration method is tested on technical fabrics before production.

  • · Water-based transfers on poly and merino
  • · Tonal embroidery preserves stretch
  • · Tested on Helly Hansen LIFA and Patagonia merino

Athletic, outdoor, retail, and corporate silhouettes

From athletic-fit Adidas jerseys and Patagonia merino base-layers to relaxed heavyweight cotton lifestyle silhouettes, we decorate long-sleeve tees for every application. Match your fabric and fit to your brand's use case.

Questions about Custom Long Sleeve Tees?

FAQ

Everything you need to know about fabrics, decoration, and delivery.

What's the best fabric for custom long-sleeve tees?

It depends on the use case. Performance polyester and recycled-poly work best for athletic and outdoor teams (moisture wicking, quick dry). Merino wool blends shine as base layers for cold-weather outdoor brands. Heavyweight cotton and tri-blend suit lifestyle, retail, and streetwear drops.

Can you screen-print on merino wool long-sleeves?

We recommend water-based transfers or tonal embroidery for merino — they preserve the fabric's stretch and breathability. Plastisol screen printing is better-suited to cotton and cotton-blend long-sleeves.

What's the largest chest print size on a long-sleeve tee?

Plastisol screen print, DTG, and full-back graphics are all available — your free creative proof confirms the design, placement, and size before production.

Is there a minimum order for custom long-sleeve tees?

1-piece minimum for embroidery and DTG. Wholesale bulk discounts for plastisol screen printing typically begin at 12+ pieces.

Can I mix sizes in a single order?

Yes — size mixing is standard. Your free creative proof confirms the size run before production.

How quickly can I get custom long-sleeve tees for a launch?

Standard production is 10-14 business days after proof approval. Rush production is available for tight brand-launch, event, or seasonal drop deadlines — mention your date so we can prioritize the order.
