Using Patterns in Your T-shirt Design
SHARE:
It’s always a good time to start adding fun, colorful flair to your wardrobe and to your custom tees. I look to Jayme’s monitor, and then to Erin’s (our art specialists), and they are both working on similar concepts for their customers’ orders.
Today it’s all about patterns.
There’s no better way to make t-shirts pop than by adding a pattern to text or a fun shape. We’ve done everything from animal prints like zebra and cheetah to the American flag. We’ve even done argyle and camo t-shirts! This trend can be applied to a design for any group and they’ll turn out great, but don’t take my word for it, check out some of our latest designs below.

Patterned T-shirt Design FAQ
What kinds of patterns work on custom t-shirts?
Animal prints like zebra and cheetah, the American flag, argyle, and camo have all worked well.
How do I add a pattern to my design?
Add the pattern to text or a fun shape so it stands out on the shirt.
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.
