How to Order Custom Shirts Online
Short answer: pick a shirt in the online designer, upload a 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background or a vector file, choose your sizes, check the mockup and price, then pay at checkout. Printed apparel is ready 7 to 10 business days after you pay and ships anywhere in the contiguous US, or you can pick it up free in Paramus, NJ.
The steps
- Pick your product. Open the apparel designer and choose a tee, long sleeve, hoodie, crewneck or hat. Not sure on fit? Check the size sheet first.
- Upload your art. Upload a PNG with a transparent background at 300 DPI, or a vector file (SVG, AI, EPS or PDF). See how to prepare artwork if you are not sure your file is ready.
- Place and size the design. Choose the print location, such as front, back or sleeve, and size the design on the shirt. The price updates as you go.
- Enter sizes and quantities. Add how many of each size you need. Mixed sizes count together toward the price breaks. For a team, send a roster with each player name, number and size.
- Check the mockup and price. Look over the mockup and the exact price before you pay. If anything looks off, fix it in the designer or text (201) 948-4433.
- Choose shipping or pickup and pay. Pick shipping to any address in the contiguous US or free pickup in Paramus, NJ, then pay in full at checkout. Shipping and any tax show before you pay.
Before you start
- Get the best file you have. Ask whoever made your logo for the original file. Vector files (SVG, AI, EPS or PDF) print sharp at any size.
- Collect sizes first. For a team or a staff order, a simple list of names and sizes saves a round of texts. Adult and youth sizes can go on the same order.
- Know your date. Count back from your event: production time, plus shipping time to your state. The shipping page has rates and transit times by region.
Printing or embroidery?
We print shirts with full-color DTF and heat-transfer vinyl. DTF handles full color, photos and small runs well. Embroidery suits polos, hats and jackets for a business look. If you are deciding, read DTF vs screen printing vs embroidery, or see the price guide to compare costs by quantity.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum order for custom shirts?
There is no minimum on printed apparel. Orders under 6 pieces add a $12.00 small-batch fee once per order. Embroidered items start at 6 pieces.
What file should I upload?
A PNG with a transparent background at 300 DPI, or a vector file (SVG, AI, EPS or PDF). A phone photo of a logo or a small image from a website usually prints blurry, so send the original file if you have it.
Do I see a mockup before I pay?
Yes. The designer shows your design on the shirt with the exact price before you pay. For a custom quote, we email you a mockup to approve first.
How long does an online order take?
Printed apparel is ready 7 to 10 business days after you pay. Ground shipping then takes about 3 business days to NJ, NY, PA and CT and about 5 to the rest of the contiguous US. Rush is available at checkout (+25%, $30.00 minimum).
Can I order embroidery online too?
Yes. Embroidered polos, hats, jackets and scrubs start at 6 pieces and take 10 to 15 business days. Rush embroidery (+25%) is available at checkout.
What if I need something the designer can't do?
Use the quote form. Tell us the item, the quantity and your date, and we reply with a price and a mockup.
