Retirement Sayings FAQ

Which retirement sayings work best on shirts?

Short ones read best, like Forever Off the Clock or Every Day Is Saturday.

Can we add the retiree’s name and year?

Yes. Many groups put a saying on the front and the retiree’s name and year on the back.

When should we order retirement party shirts?

Order a few weeks before the party. That leaves time to approve the design, collect sizes, and have the shirts arrive in time.

Can I get help with the design?

Yes. Start in the Design Lab, and Custom Ink’s Inkers can help with fonts, colors, and placement.
