How it works
Questions
What is the cheapest way to get custom t-shirts?
A one-color screen print on a heavy cotton tee is the lowest cost per shirt once you reach 48 or more pieces. Under 12 pieces, embroidery or full-color transfers usually make more sense than screen printing.
Which blank shirt should I choose?
Gildan 5000 is the durable, budget-friendly workhorse. Bella+Canvas 3001 is softer and more fitted, the favorite for merch and brands. Comfort Colors 1717 is garment-dyed and heavyweight with a vintage feel.
How many colors can you print?
Up to 7 ink colors per location on screen printing, front and back. Every added color adds a screen, so simpler designs cost less at every quantity.
How long does it take?
Most orders ship 7 to 10 business days after you approve your free digital proof. Tell us your date in the notes and we will confirm it before production.
