Choosing the Right T-Shirt Fabric

The fabric you choose affects softness, durability, and how your design looks once it's printed or embroidered.

  • 100% Cotton: The classic choice — breathable, soft, and reliable for everyday wear. Best for screen printing and digital printing, and the go-to for large group orders and giveaways.
  • Cotton-Poly Blend: More durable than 100% cotton and less prone to shrinking, with a slightly softer, more relaxed drape. A strong pick for high-volume team and event orders.
  • Tri-Blend: A cotton-poly-rayon mix with an exceptionally soft, vintage-heathered feel — popular for retail-quality apparel and premium giveaways where the shirt itself is part of the gift.
  • Performance Poly: Moisture-wicking and lightweight, built for movement. The standard choice for athletic teams, 5Ks, and outdoor events.

Not sure which fabric fits your event? Our team can help you match fabric to occasion and budget.


Screen Printing, Digital Printing, or Embroidery for Custom Shirts?

  • Screen Printing: The best value at scale — durable, vibrant, and cost-effective for bulk orders. Works best with 1-3 solid ink colors; more colors added to a design increases cost.
  • Digital Printing: No color limits — ideal for detailed designs, photos, and gradients that screen printing can't reproduce cleanly. A strong choice for single shirts and smaller orders since there's no extra cost per color.
  • Embroidery: A raised, textured, stitched finish that reads as premium and professional — the standard choice for corporate logos and uniforms. Works best with simpler designs; fine detail and thin lines are harder to reproduce in thread.

Not sure which is right for your design? Upload your artwork in Design Lab and we'll recommend the best fit.


Where on Your Custom Tee to Put Your Design

  • Full Front: The highest-visibility placement — ideal for bold logos, large graphics, or a design that's the main event.
  • Left Chest: A smaller, classic placement — the standard choice for corporate branding, team names, and a clean, retail-ready look.
  • Back: Great for a second design element — team names, event dates, or a slogan that reads well from a distance.
  • Sleeve: A subtle accent placement for a small logo or icon.

Combine placements — like a small left-chest logo with a bigger back design — to get the most out of your shirt.


What Affects Your Custom T-Shirt Price (and How to Save)

Your price depends on four things: quantity, shirt style, number of ink colors, and decoration method. Here's how to get the most for your budget:

  • Order More: Price per shirt drops as your quantity goes up — see it update in real time in Design Lab.
  • Use Fewer Colors (for screen printing): Since screen printing charges per color, simplifying your design to 1-2 colors is the single easiest way to lower your price without changing your quantity.
  • Choose Digital Printing for Small Orders: If you're ordering a handful of shirts, digital printing has no per-color charge, which often makes it cheaper than screen printing at low quantities.
  • Stick to One Print Location: Adding a second location (like a back print) adds cost — a single, well-placed design keeps your price down.


Custom T-Shirts for Every Group

Whatever you're bringing people together for, there's a custom tee for it — here's how groups actually use them.

  • Company & Corporate Events: Onboarding kits, retreats, and conferences — professional branding that looks as good in the office as it does at the offsite.
  • School & Spirit Wear: From student council to spirit week, durable tees that mix youth and adult sizes so the whole school matches.
  • Sports Teams & Leagues: Durable enough for practice, sharp enough for travel days — add names and numbers through Design Lab.
  • Nonprofits & Fundraisers: High-margin, giveaway-friendly merch that supporters want to buy or wear — priced to work for nonprofit budgets.
  • Family Reunions & Life Events: A shared design with a family name or event year turns any gathering into a matching-shirt moment.
  • Bachelorette & Bachelor Parties: Fast turnaround and low or no minimums make it easy to get the whole group matching before the big weekend.
