Custom Ink's Frequently Asked Questions
How will my clothing be printed?
Custom Ink offers two main printing methods, screen printing and direct-to-garment (or digital) printing. Screen printing is the art of applying layers directly to a t-shirt, and direct-to-garment printing is handled by a garment printer that carefully applies ink to shirts. We promise to always use the best print method for your order’s unique needs.

Yes, we make it easy to add your design to multiple styles right from our Design Lab. Click the “Add Products” icon on the left-hand side and a pop-up window with complementary styles will appear. You can add additional colors, choose from our hand-picked related products, or browse our entire catalog.
Do I have to order a certain number of shirts?
No, Custom Ink is proud to offer tons of no minimum t-shirts—which means you can order as few as one shirt if you’d like! Want to know a shirt’s minimum quantity requirements? Start by shopping our no minimum tees or check out the “Product Overview” section after you’ve selected your perfect tee.
How is the price determined?
Your all-inclusive price is determined by three things: the product you choose, the number of ink colors used in your design, and the total quantity of items in your order. Use our handy Quick Quote tool to see your all-inclusive price with just the click of a button!
How do I know what my size is?
Finding the right size and fit should be easy. That’s why Custom Ink offers a Sizing Line-Up for the majority of our apparel products. What’s a Sizing Line-Up? A Sizing Line-Up is a super easy-to-use tool that shows products on real people, along with height and weight, which makes finding the perfect fit a breeze.
Where can I print on a shirt?
You can print on the front, back, pocket, and sleeves of shirts with Custom Ink! Once you’ve selected your shirt, easily toggle between designing on the front and back using the icons in the top right-hand corner of the Design Lab. Want to print on the shirt sleeves? Select “Sleeve Design” to narrow down your design style and then give our Customer Service Team a call at 855-563-7465 to finalize your order.
How do I wash screen-printed clothing?
It’s important to keep something as special as your custom apparel looking great. For optimal care of your screen-printed clothing, turn your shirt inside out and wash on cold. Dry on low heat and avoid directly ironing screen printed areas.
