Volunteer Slogans FAQ
Which volunteer slogans work best on a shirt?
Short ones read best, like Volunteering is a Work of Heart. Save the longer quotes for the back of the shirt.
Can we add our organization’s name?
Yes. Many groups put a slogan on the front and the organization, event, or date on the back.
When should we order volunteer shirts?
Order a few weeks before the event. 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.
