Custom shirt guides
Straight answers first, then the details.
Designing with AI
- How to design a t-shirt with ChatGPT and get it printed

Add the ChatAttire connector to Claude, ask for a shirt in plain words, and finish the design in the studio it sets up. What Claude can and can't do. - Can AI design a t-shirt?
AI image tools draw printable t-shirt graphics in seconds. What they get wrong: misspelled lettering, low resolution, background boxes and mockups. How to avoid each. - How to turn an AI image into a printable shirt
Make an AI image print well on a shirt: download the original file, remove the background, check the size against the print area, and add words as text.
Ordering custom shirts
- What resolution does a photo need to print well on a shirt?
Aim for about 150 pixels per inch at the printed size: 1800 x 2400 pixels for a full front. A size table, which files work, and how to tell before you order. - DTG vs screen printing for small orders
For a few shirts or a full-colour design, direct-to-garment printing has no setup cost. Screen printing pays off on large runs of simple designs. How to choose. - How long do custom shirts take?
Custom shirts are printed to order, then shipped. Production and standard shipping times, what express does and doesn't change, and when to order for an event. - How much does a front and back print cost on a custom shirt?
The first print location is included and each further side costs extra. Exact front, back and sleeve prices from the catalog, with worked examples. - How many shirts and which sizes should I order for a group?
Ask everyone for their size instead of guessing a spread, use the size chart, and check where quantity discounts start. A practical way to order group shirts. - Where can I get custom shirts with no minimum order?
Print-on-demand shops make each shirt to order, so one custom shirt is fine. What one shirt costs, when ordering more saves money, and what to check first.
