Jewish Sayings FAQ

Which quotes work best on a shirt?

Short ones read best, like If life gives you potatoes… Make latkes! Save the longer quotes for the back of the shirt.

Can we add our group or chapter name?

Yes. Many groups put the chapter name on the front and a favorite quote on the back.

When should we order our shirts?

Order a few weeks before you need them. 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.
