Frequently Asked Questions
What's the most popular t-shirt for custom printing?
The Bella Canvas 3001 is our best seller — it's a soft, lightweight unisex tee with a modern fit. Comfort Colors 1717 is the go-to for that garment-dyed, vintage look.
What's the minimum order for custom t-shirts?
Screen printing requires 100 pieces per design. DTF printing starts at 6 pieces. The more you order, the lower the per-piece cost.
Can you print on both sides of the shirt?
Yes! Front, back, sleeves, and even inside neck labels. Multi-location prints are available for all decoration methods.
How should I send my artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are ideal for screen printing. High-resolution PNG or PSD files work great for DTF. Not sure? Send what you have — our team will help.
