Creating custom T-shirts with your logo for your small business is a crucial step for any entrepreneur. Choosing a reliable provider capable of reflecting your brand’s quality through stylish garments is essential. At ShirtUp!, we’ve created this mini-guide for entrepreneurs and business owners wondering how and where to create their custom T-shirts.

Why are logo T-shirts so important for your business?

T-shirts with your company logo serve several vital purposes for your business. First, they strengthen brand identity by indirectly increasing your business’s visibility.

Second, they build trust in your brand by showcasing a real, tangible product that sparks curiosity.

Third, custom T-shirts are an excellent way to foster team spirit among your employees and reinforce your corporate culture.

Finally, logo T-shirts serve as a cost-effective and long-lasting marketing tool.

Essential Elements for Designing Custom T-Shirts

To create custom T-shirts, sweatshirts, or polos that represent your business, you must pay attention to a series of details that determine their effectiveness in attracting new customers.

• High-quality logo: Ensure your logo is saved in the proper format and in various sizes.

• Color selection: Your T-shirts (or other garments) should complement your logo design and ensure its readability.

• Typography: Use clear fonts and appropriately sized text for visibility from a reasonable distance.

• Design placement: Consider different print locations based on their purpose. Front designs are ideal for logos and main messages. The back works for slogans, names, or additional information. Sleeves are great for highlighting unique details.

• Design size: The size of the logo or graphic must be proportional to the T-shirt. Standard dimensions are 10x10 cm for chest logos and 30x40 cm for full designs.

• Environmental commitment: Choose a provider committed to sustainability. Print-on-demand systems, for example, are well-regarded for their eco-friendly approach.

How to Choose the Right Printing Method

When it comes to customizing your garments, selecting the right printing method is crucial to achieving the desired outcome. The printing method you choose will depend on several factors, including the type of fabric, the complexity of your design, and your specific needs for durability, texture, and color vibrancy. At ShirtUp!, we offer an advanced printing technique to meet these diverse requirements: DTG (Direct To Garment) and DTF (Direct To Film). Each method is designed to deliver exceptional quality and cater to different design needs.

DTG (Direct To Garment)

Best for Detailed Designs on Cotton
DTG prints directly onto fabric using water-based ink, creating a soft, natural finish.

• High Detail: Ideal for intricate designs, gradients, and photos.

• Comfortable: Ink blends into the fabric for a lightweight feel.

• Cotton-Friendly: Perfect for 100% cotton or cotton-rich blends.

Great for: Small orders or detailed designs requiring precision.

Steps to Create Your Custom T-Shirts

1. Upload your logo to the ShirtUp! design tool.

2. Choose where to place your logo on the T-shirt (or polo, sweatshirt, bag…). Popular areas include the chest and back, which are easily noticeable by customers.

3. Select the number of garments you want. At ShirtUp!, the more products you order, the greater the discount. You can order as few as one product, but discounts of up to 50% apply for six or more items.

4. Choose your shipping method: standard or express delivery.

NOTE: Large orders can feel intimidating. What if the sizes aren’t right, the material isn’t what you expected, or it doesn’t suit your style? For these cases, we offer a sample order option so you can check these details and ensure a perfect order.
