Tips for Creating Your Custom T-Shirts
Designing custom t-shirts is more than just slapping a logo on cotton—it’s a chance to make a statement, share your identity, or build a sense of community. Whether you’re gearing up for a charity run, launching a product, or organizing a family vacation, your shirt should reflect your energy and intent. Not a designer? No problem. Shirt.Co offers examples, design templates, and professional design help to bring your ideas to life.
- Create a design that stands out: Bold visuals, clever phrases, or striking artwork can turn a simple shirt into something people want to wear again and again.
- Use fonts that are easy to read: Avoid overly stylized or tiny fonts. Your message should be instantly clear from a few feet away.
- Make your design visible at a glance: Size matters—both for the print and the spacing. A great design loses impact if it’s too small or cluttered.
- Pick shirt colors that work with your design: Your ink colors should contrast well with the shirt fabric. A dark design on a navy shirt may not pop the way you want it to.
- Offer a few options if you can: A mix of t-shirt colors, styles (like v-necks or long sleeves), or even alternate designs gives people more reasons to love what you’re making.
- Stay true to your brand: If this shirt is for a business, nonprofit, or campaign, use brand colors and logos thoughtfully. A shirt can be fun and on-brand.
- Think about your audience: Who will be wearing these shirts—and where? What kind of shirt would they actually wear outside the event?
- Make it fun, not just informative: While it’s great to include a date or website, don’t forget to infuse personality. Humor, inside jokes, or memorable quotes go a long way.
- Find inspiration: Look at what other teams, brands, or groups have done. You don’t need to copy—just let it spark ideas of your own.

Types of Fabric Used for Screenprinting
When selecting fabric for your custom shirts, comfort, durability, and functionality are key. Each material offers unique benefits depending on your shirt’s intended use:
- Cotton: Soft, breathable, and perfect for casual wear, making it a popular choice for events or everyday branding.
- Polyester: Known for its durability and fast-drying properties, polyester is ideal for exercise, outdoor activities, and events.
- Blends (Cotton/Polyester, Tri-blends): A combination of comfort and durability, with a bit of stretch—great for both work and casual settings.
- Moisture-Wicking Fabrics: Designed for high-activity or outdoor environments, these fabrics help keep your team dry and comfortable, even in warmer conditions.
Fabric type also impacts your printing method. For example, sublimation printing works best on polyester for vibrant, long-lasting designs, while DTF transfer printing is a cost-effective choice for intricate designs on various fabrics.
