The branded apparel market is booming. From custom tees and tanktops to sweatshirts and hoodies, more and more bespoke branded clothing is being sold through print on demand e-commerce storefronts. Of all these growth items, the humble tee is the stand-out front-runner, with the global market for customised, direct to garment t-shirt printing expected to cross $5 billion by 2025 (ComCap Report 2019).

It's a lucrative business — but it's a competitive one at that. Design is the most important component to differentiate yourself from competitors. But it's also essential to consider the fabric you're going to print on to give the best print finish and long lasting quality.

With print on demand, there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to t-shirt blanks. It can be difficult to know which product to choose, particularly without being able to see or feel the product in person. For that reason we have put together this article to guide you through the process — plus our top 5 picks for selling t-shirts online.

Which t-shirt fabric gives the best print results?

Types of fabric

When it comes to custom t-shirt printing you have a choice of three fabrics — polyester, cotton or blended materials.

Polyester

Polyester is a man-made polymer that most commonly refers to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It's durable, quick drying and very strong yet lightweight. It has become a commonly used fabric in fast fashion.

Polyester t-shirts are best suited to sublimation printing as opposed to direct to garment (DTG) printing. We recommend DTG for most t-shirts as it offers the most precise print for your design. But if you're after an all over print, sublimation printing is definitely the way to go. We offer an all over print t-shirt range if all over printing is what you're after.

Standard Cotton

Cotton is made from soft vegetable fibres that are spun into yarn and woven into fabric to make the components of a t-shirt. When it comes to DTG printing, the higher the percentage of cotton, the more vivid the print. Natural fibre fabrics like this tend to work better for printing than synthetic fabrics and will last better through the wash.

However, not all cotton is created equal. Regular cotton is the industry standard but for a softer, more durable cotton it can be ring-spun and combed.

Ringspun cotton

Ringspun cotton is a more premium composition for high-end print on demand t shirt production. When cotton is ringspun, the fibres are twisted more tightly and thinned through the spinning process. This results in a stronger yarn and softer feel. It also creates a smooth surface which helps improve the quality of the print.

Combed cotton

This is where the impurities in the cotton have been combed out before being spun. This process creates a stronger, softer and higher quality cotton.

The most durable t-shirt fabric composition is therefore cotton that is both ring-spun and combed.

Airlume cotton

You may see the term 'airlume' cotton in the Bella+Canvas descriptions and be wondering what exactly this means. They describe it as "the highest quality combed and ring-spun cotton". It is a clean cotton that removes 2.5x more impurities than standard ringspun cotton through an extensive combing process. Long staple cotton is used, which means there are fewer stray fibres when the yarn is spun, resulting in an even smoother print surface.

Triblends

A triblend fabric is — you've guessed it — a blend of three different fabric types. Triblends are usually 50% polyester, 25% cotton and 25% rayon. They are very soft, a little more stretchy and often have a vintage effect look to them. Although cotton is generally better for direct to garment t-shirt printing, a good quality triblend t-shirt also works well, especially where you are seeking a more cost effective printing base.

Fabric weight

Fabric weight is only a really important factor to consider if you know your custom branded t-shirt will be worn in either a hot or cool climate.

Whilst many e-commerce business owners automatically assume a heavy apparel fabric is of better quality, this isn't the case, as fabric weight doesn't actually determine superiority. Lightweight and heavyweight fabrics can both be of varying quality.

Navigating t-shirt product descriptions

When considering the different options, you'll come across a plethora of technical terms used to describe custom clothing blanks, and these can be a little confusing. So here's a run-down of some FAQs when it comes to t-shirt product descriptions.

What does shoulder-to-shoulder taping actually mean?

Shoulder-to-shoulder taping creates more durability at stress points. Fabric is sewn over to cover the raw edge of the sewing construction at the shoulder and neck seams. It closes the front and back shoulders of a t-shirt and should make the tee a longer lasting under duress. This type of finish is more important for items such as custom sportswear.

What is a 'single count' and how does this affect your t-shirt?

Single refers to the diameter of yarn, determined by the number of times you twist the fibre. The higher the single, the finer the yarn and the softer resulting garment. A t-shirt with a higher single count will usually be more expensive and better quality.

What's the difference between tubular and side-seam construction?

Side-seam t-shirts have seams down each side of the shirt. They have a more structured look, and are generally considered to be more flattering. Tubular t shirts are constructed without the use of side seams and therefore have a 'tubular' — or more square — shape. They are generally more affordable and have a less fitted look.

What does it mean when a t-shirt is 'quarter-turned'?

Quarter-turning is a step in the production process of t-shirts that are knitted on a tubular cylinder. When fabric is produced in this way, it comes out as a flat tube of fabric. This creates a crease on each side of the tube of fabric. When a t-shirt has been quarter-turned, the tube is turned ¼ of the way round before the shirt's body is cut. This moves the crease to the side of the shirt under the arm, as opposed to down the centre. By doing this, it creates a smoother surface for printing.

4. Fail, try again, fail, and keep trying.

Let’s be real, you probably won’t have hundreds of thousand orders coming in just after the launch of your store, but don’t let it put you back.

Being an online store owner requires resilience and creative problem-solving.

While your research has suggested what design will drive sales, your predictions might not match the actual needs of your target audience at this point in time.

That’s why it’s important to give your customers a voice.

If one design isn’t popular, try something entirely different. And if customers don’t react to the new design, create another one.

Listen to the feedback and keep trying! You’ll get there eventually.

How to Create a T-shirt Design

T-shirts are one of the most popular apparel items out there that are worn by both men and women.

That’s why to break through the noise, you’ll have to create t-shirt designs that tell a story or make a statement people believe in.

1. Find design ideas.

Start by jotting down the key themes, beliefs, and styles you want your brand to be known for. Then, take some time polishing these ideas to come up with more concrete design concepts.

Define your business goal.

Ask yourself whether you’re looking for a one-time success or something that will pay your bills and take you on vacations for years to come.

Now, there’s no good or bad answer here, but being honest with yourself at this very moment can help you make the design search a lot easier.

If you’re looking for ideas that are evergreen, concentrate on topics and themes that don’t go out of fashion or are relevant all year round among your target audience. For example, a t-shirt that says “weekend vibes” or “holy guacamole”.

But if starting an online store is your way of testing the waters of ecommerce, make seasonal themes and trending topics the epicenter of your designs. Is there a popular meme or saying that’s taking the world by the storm? This might be your chance of monetizing the moment.

And in case you’re looking for a little bit of both, mix up your evergreen product offering with designs that support a social movement that’s currently being talked about.

Hijacking random news events can work against you if won’t put much thought to it.

Explore different design elements.

Your t-shirt design can come in multiple shapes and forms.

You can use typography, line drawings, shapes, illustrations, or photographs as your design base. But if you think that using one type of element is too restricting, mix and match different elements to create a one-of-a-kind t-shirt design.

Just remember, even the smallest detail in your design can tell a thousand words, so for the best outcome, stick to clear shapes and forms that are easy to recognize or read both up-close and from a distance.

Choose your color palette strategically.

For most people, including you future customers, visuals matter the most.

That said, every color you use can affect how people see your brand and products.

That’s why you need to think not only about the colors of your design, but also about the colors of the t-shirts your design will be on.

Learning the basics of color theory, or color psychology can come in handy when making such decisions.

But you also have to keep some of the technical aspects in mind. For example, selling white tees with text in black will look sleek, but having the same text in pale pink might make the design difficult to read.

Find the right t-shirt type.

The crew neck, the V neck, and polo are just a few types of t-shirts out there for you choose.

When deciding which t-shirt will make the best canvas for your designs, think about your target audience and envisioned goal for your brand.

It’s simple. Polo shirts probably won’t be the best choice for a store that has an urban feel and targets streetwear shoppers.

Baggy or cropped tees, on the other hand, might be just perfect.

Decide on the print method.

When looking for t-shirt design ideas, you also need to keep printing technique in mind.

Let’s take a look at the 3 most popular printing methods for t-shirts.

Direct-to-garment directly applies the ink onto the product. It’s sort of like printing on paper, except on a t-shirt. DTG printing allows extensive color options in designs and offers great precision in details. However, design placement can sometimes be limiting.

Screen printing involves pushing ink through a woven mesh stencil onto fabric. What’s important to know, is that with screen printing only one color can be applied at a time. So the more colors your design has, the longer it will take to print it, and the more expensive the whole thing will be.

Sublimation printing infuses a layer of ink directly onto the fabric, which means that the t-shirt print area is significantly bigger. This type of printing works best with patterns, photographs (especially landscapes), and abstract designs.

2. Create the designs.

Once you crystallized your ideas, it’s time to create the actual design. There are several ways you can go about it.

Do it yourself

If you have skills and time, take on the challenge of creating t-shirt designs yourself. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing your idea come to life right in front of your eyes.

Creating designs doesn’t have to be difficult, you just need to know what tools are out there that can help visualize your idea.

If it’s your first time creating something digitally, it’s fair to say that professional software like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator might not be the best choice not only because of the price, but also because of the learning curve.

Luckily, there are great free alternatives out there that offer basic functions needed to create a print file for your t-shirts. Let’s go over a few open-source vector graphic editors that you can start using today:

• Canva has everything you need to develop your first designs – a simple drag-and-drop editor, access to over 8,000 free templates, folders to organize your designs and the ability to upload your own images.
• Photopea has a bunch of pre-made templates for different projects, this software is a friendly tool for both graphic design beginners and veterans.
• GIMP is a graphics editor that will let you retouch the images you want to use for your t-shirt designs, or add a few free-form drawings to it.
• Inkscape can be used to create or edit vector graphics. While it’s a versatile tool you can use to work with illustrations, lines, or complex paintings, it has a learning curve.

Hire a designer.

Not everyone is blessed with an eye for great designs or have all the necessary skills to create them, and that’s completely fine. If you don’t feel comfortable creating t-shirt designs yourself, hand this task over to a professional.

If you’ve never hired a freelance designer before, don’t worry, you won’t need to move mountains to find one.

Let’s take a look at a few options:

• 99designs. This platform connects freelance designers with clients who are on the lookout for custom designs, let it be logos, business cards, or you guessed it – t-shirt designs. If you have a clear vision of what your t-shirt design should look like, simply browse through the pool of designers to find a person whose style you enjoy. The hit that “Invite to work” button and start your conversation. However, if your idea for design is vague and you’re open to creative interpretations, start a contest that is open to the entire designer community on 99designs. It’s simple: you describe your idea, set the budget and let different designers submit their versions of your design. You get to pick and pay for the one which meets your aesthetic taste and design needs best.
• Dribble. Graphic designers and agencies use Dribble to showcase their portfolios and network with fellow creatives who are on the lookout for new opportunities. To find your designer on Dribble, take time browsing through portfolios until you find someone whose work you enjoy. If that particular designer is open to hire, you’ll see a “Hire me” button on their profile. You can also post a job ad on Dribble if you had no luck discovering talent on your own.
• Upwork, Fiverr, Guru. These global freelancing platforms let independent professionals with clients who are looking for help connect and collaborate remotely. In the pool of freelancers, you can also find graphic designers who can help you with your t-shirt design idea realization. Browse these platforms to find the freelancer yourself or post a job inviting anyone who’s interested send you their proposal.

Use your printer’s product generators

Most printers out there have product generators that let you create designs in one go.

So, if you don’t want to worry about finding the right design software and getting your print file quality and size just right, this might be the right choice for you.

This free tool will let you create designs with custom-drawn smileys, shapes, and fonts, and showcase them on the actual product.

The sky (and the maximum print area) is your limit, so don’t hold yourself back.

Top 3 Ways to Print, and Ship Your T-shirts

Every store owner is different, therefore the way you choose to print and ship your products is entirely up to you. But of course, it’s good to know your options.

1. Do it yourself.

If you like being in control, you can print and ship t-shirts on your own.

But all of this freedom comes at a price.

You’ll have to invest in a printer and inks, or find a reliable local printer who’d take care of the printing for you.

You’ll also need to keep the stock of the t-shirts as well as your packaging materials.

All of this will require not only the physical space to do all the work, but your time too.

2. Use third-party fulfillment partners.

Another option is to partner with a print-on-demand dropshippers like PrintAura, Printful, or TeeSpring.

These third-party services print and ship your products in your stead.

So, if you don’t want to worry about keeping your printers in top shape, bulk-printing the stock, and making endless visits to the post office, this option might be right for you.

You can add new variants of the same t-shirt or introduce new styles or designs. If sales of a certain item aren’t going well, discontinue it and try something else.

But just like with everything in life, there are some downsides too.

Your fulfillment partner will charge you the cost of the product and printing. You also won’t have full control of the production process and shipping, which means you won’t be able to customize your packages.

3. Dropship.

Finally, if you can’t be bothered about creating the designs and prefer selling a ready-made product, the dropshipping option is for you.

Find wholesale t-shirt suppliers, select the designs you like and add them to your store. Once orders start flowing in, your supplier will ship them directly to the doorstep of your customer.

This means you’ll have more time to grow your store’s brand awareness, run promotions or special offers.

However, dropshipping the t-shirts also means you won’t be selling one-of-a-kind product – multiple other stores might be offering the exact same tee (and maybe for a lower price).

So you’ll have to think how to differentiate yourself from the competition to justify your price and land more sales.

How to Get Your First T-shirt Sale

Having your online store up and running is just the first step in your ecommerce adventure.

What follows next is making that first sale.

So in this section, we’ll take a look at a couple of things you can do to find your first customer faster.

1. Product reviews.

It’s not an industry secret that product reviews can accelerate sales growth. But what if there’s not a single customer who bought your product yet?

If there’s anyone who’s willing to place an order on your store without questioning its legitimacy, it’s your family and friends.

Once they do that, sit down with them to learn what their shopping experience was like, and, of course, ask them to leave a product review.

2. Brand awareness giveaway.

You need to grow your brand awareness in order to land more sales. And what is one of the easiest ways to get people interested in you? Offering something for free.

Seattle-based online store Girlfriend Collective launched one product in April 2016 – eco-friendly leggings made from recycled plastics.

To kick things off, the company decided to run a this-is-too-good-to-be-true campaign offering the new generation of activewear just for the cost of shipping.

Yes, you heard it right – free leggings!

The result? 10,000 pairs sold in the first day and over 800 customer emails received asking to confirm that the campaign is not a scam.

3. Social media presence.

In the world of the internet, businesses have to maintain their presence on social media to be taken seriously.

As a new store owner, you need to think beyond weekly promo campaigns.

Most importantly, be consistent and stick to your brand voice.

You want to be recognized not only by what you sell, but also by what you stand for.

Simply put, use brand storytelling to connect with your audience through social media to drive engagement.

4. Social media influencers.

Another option worth exploring is influencer marketing. An honest shout out by an opinion leader can get you in front of a niche audience that you might be struggling to reach yourself.

Now, don’t confuse influencer marketing with easy-to-get ads.

5. Retargeting ads.

Once more people start visiting your store, you’ll face the inevitable: users will browse your product catalogs, maybe add a product or two to the cart and leave without taking the most important action – buying from you.

How can you get that shopper back? By running retargeting campaigns.

Retargeting ads use cookie-based technology to display custom ads to visitors who have left your online store without placing an order.

In other words, you can bring the users back to your website by showing personalized ad on their Facebook and Instagram feeds, or Google.

Diversify to Survive

In both business and life, change is inevitable.

So in order to be successful, you need to continuously think how to develop your online store further.

1. Experiment with similar niches.

You might found your niche and made quite a few sales. But think, how often do people buy new t-shirts? Once every season? Every year?

If you’re targeting stay-at-home moms, perhaps you can offer something for stay-at-home dads? And if you’re offering products interesting for rock guitarists, it might be worth introducing yourself to drummers too.

2. Market to multiple segments.

Dividing your target audience into different segments is a great way to connect with your customers on a more personal level. And as we all know, personalization drives conversion.

Let’s say your products are aimed at dog lovers and you recently introduced a t-shirt to the store that says “proud dog mama”.

Now, not all dog lovers are dog owners. It would make sense to push promotions for this product to a more defined segment of your target audience, for example, women who own dogs.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that people who don’t own a dog won’t be interested in the shirt. They might know someone who does.

Your job is to target multiple segments using copy that resonates with each individual in your target audience.

3. Expand your product line.

If you want to stick to printed products, consider adding hoodies, phone cases, or mugs to your product catalog. Just make sure the new products go well with the entire concept of the store.

Otherwise, you might appear unprofessional.

4. Try offline opportunities.

Even though your business is operating online, there’s a lot you can do offline to grow your brand.

Exhibit your products in trade shows, local fairs, or popup markets.

If you don’t feel comfortable setting up your booth at the events like this, attend them as a visitor. And don’t forget to bring your business card along and wear your t-shirt.

This will help build new partnerships, meet your customers, or simply get your name out there.

But that’s not all.

Get in touch with a local newspaper and share your story. Organize or help to organize an event for your local community. Approach brick-and-mortar stores that are interested in independent brands and introduce them to your products.

5. Keep designing.

If you want to grow your online store, you need to introduce new t-shirt designs every now and then. So keep designing.

Think of upcoming ecommerce holidays you can use to build your designs around. Add a seasonal t-shirt, or put together a limited edition collection.

Also, don’t forget to listen to your customers. What is they want to see on your t-shirt store?

A woman wearing a pink V-neck T-shirt

A T-shirt, or tee shirt, is a style of fabric shirt named after the T shape of its body and sleeves. Traditionally, it has short sleeves and a round neckline, known as a crew neck, which lacks a collar. T-shirts are generally made of a stretchy, light, and inexpensive fabric and are easy to clean. The T-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 19th century and, in the mid-20th century, transitioned from undergarment to general-use casual clothing.

They are typically made of cotton textile in a stockinette or jersey knit, which has a distinctively pliable texture compared to shirts made of woven cloth. Some modern versions have a body made from a continuously knitted tube, produced on a circular knitting machine, such that the torso has no side seams. The manufacture of T-shirts has become highly automated and may include cutting fabric with a laser or a water jet.

T-shirts are inexpensive to produce and are often part of fast fashion, leading to outsized sales of T-shirts compared to other attire.^[1] For example, two billion T-shirts are sold per year in the United States,^[2] or the average person from Sweden buys nine T-shirts a year.^[3] Production processes vary but can be environmentally intensive, and include the environmental impact caused by their materials, such as cotton which is both pesticide and water intensive.^[4][5][6]

History[edit]

Simple, T-shaped top garments have been a part of human clothing since ancient times; garments similar to the T-shirt worn earlier in history are generally called tunics.

The modern T-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 19th century. First, the one-piece union suit underwear was cut into separate top and bottom garments, with the top long enough to tuck under the waistband of the bottoms. With and without buttons, they were adopted by miners and stevedores during the late 19th century as a convenient covering for hot environments.

As slip-on garments without buttons, the earliest T-shirt dates back to sometime between the 1898 Spanish–American War and 1904, when the Cooper Underwear Company ran a magazine ad announcing a new product for bachelors. In the "before" photo, a man averts his eyes from the camera as if embarrassed; he has lost all the buttons on his undershirt and has safety-pinned its flaps together. In the "after" photo, a virile gentleman sports a handlebar mustache, smokes a cigar and wears a "bachelor undershirt" stretchy enough to be pulled over the head. "No safety pins — no buttons — no needle — no thread", ran the slogan aimed at men with no wives who lacked sewing skills.^[7]

In 1913, the U.S. Navy first issued them as undergarments.^[8] These were a crew-necked, short-sleeved, white cotton undershirt to be worn under a uniform. It became common for sailors and Marines in work parties, the early submarines, and tropical climates to remove their uniform jacket, thus wearing (and soiling) only the undershirt.^[9] They soon became popular as a bottom layer of clothing for workers in various industries, including agriculture. The T-shirt was easily fitted, easily cleaned, and inexpensive, and for those reasons, it became the shirt of choice for young boys. Boys' shirts were made in various colors and patterns. The word T-shirt became part of American English by the 1920s, and appeared in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.^[8]

By the Great Depression, the T-shirt was often the default garment to be worn when doing farm or ranch chores, as well as other times when modesty called for a torso covering but conditions called for lightweight fabrics.^[9] Following World War II, it was worn by Navy men as undergarments and slowly became common to see veterans wearing their uniform trousers with their T-shirts as casual clothing. The shirts became even more popular in the 1950s after Marlon Brando wore one in A Streetcar Named Desire, finally achieving status as fashionable, stand-alone, outerwear garments.^[10] Often boys wore them while doing chores and playing outside, eventually opening up the idea of wearing them as general-purpose casual clothing.

Printed T-shirts were in limited use by 1942 when an Air Corps Gunnery School T-shirt appeared on the cover of Life magazine. In the 1960s, printed T-shirts gained popularity for self-expression as well for advertisements, protests, and souvenirs.

Current versions are available in many different designs and fabrics, and styles include crew-neck and V-neck shirts. T-shirts are among the most worn garments of clothing used today. T-shirts are especially popular with branding for companies or merchandise, as they are inexpensive to make and purchase.

Trends[edit]

T-shirts were originally worn as undershirts, but are now worn frequently as the only piece of clothing on the top half of the body, other than possibly a brassiere or, rarely, a waistcoat (vest). T-shirts have also become a medium for self-expression and advertising, with any imaginable combination of words, art and photographs on display.^[11]

A T-shirt typically extends to the waist. Variants of the T-shirt, such as the V-neck, have been developed. Hip hop fashion calls for tall-T shirts which may extend down to the knees. A similar item is the T-shirt dress or T-dress, a dress-length T-shirt that can be worn without pants.^[12] Long T-shirts are also sometimes worn by women as nightgowns. A 1990s trend in women's clothing involved tight-fitting cropped T-shirt or crop tops short enough to reveal the midriff. Another less popular trend is wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt of a contrasting color over a long-sleeved T-shirt, which is known as layering. T-shirts that are tight to the body are called fitted, tailored or baby doll T-shirts.

With the rise of social media and video sharing sites also came numerous tutorials on DIY T-shirt projects.^[13] These videos typically provided instructions on how to modify an old shirt into a new, more fashionable form.

Expressive messages[edit]

Since the 1960s, T-shirts have flourished as a form of personal expression.^[11]Screen printed T-shirts have been a standard form of marketing for major American consumer products, such as Coca-Cola and Mickey Mouse, since the 1970s. It has also been commonly used to commemorate an event or to make a political or personal statement. Since the 1990s, it has become common practice for companies of all sizes to produce T-shirts with their corporate logos or messages as part of their overall advertising campaigns. Since the late 1980s and especially the 1990s, T-shirts with prominent designer-name logos have become popular, especially with teenagers and young adults. These garments allow consumers to flaunt their taste for designer brands in an inexpensive way, in addition to being decorative. Examples of designer T-shirt branding include Calvin Klein, FUBU, Ralph Lauren, American Apparel, and The Gap. These examples also include representations of rock bands, among other obscure pop-culture references. Licensed T-shirts are also extremely popular. Movie and TV T-shirts can have images of the actors, logos, and funny quotations from the movie or TV show. Often, the most popular T-shirts are those that characters wore in the film itself (e.g., Bubba Gump from Forrest Gump and Vote For Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite).

Designer Katharine Hamnett, in the early 1980s, pioneered outsize T-shirts with large-print slogans. The early first decade of the 21st century saw the renewed popularity of T-shirts with slogans and designs with a strong inclination to the humorous and/or ironic. The trend has only increased later in this decade, embraced by celebrities, such as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, and reflected back on them, too ('Team Aniston'). The political and social statements that T-shirts often display have become, since the first decade of the 21st century, one of the reasons that they have so deeply permeated different levels of culture and society. The statements also may be found to be offensive, shocking, or pornographic to some. Examples of T-shirt stores and designers known for using offensive and shocking messages include T-Shirt Hell and Apollo Braun. Many different organizations have caught on to the statement-making trend, including chain and independent stores, websites, and schools.

A popular phrase on the front of demonstrating the popularity of T-shirts among tourists is the humorous phrase "I went to _____ and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." Examples include "My parents went to Las Vegas and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." T-shirt exchange is an activity where people trade the T-shirts that they are wearing.

Artists like Bill Beckley, Glen Baldridge and Peter Klashorst use T-shirts in their work. Models such as Victoria Beckham and Gisele Bundchen wore T-shirts through the 2000s. Paris Fashion Week 2014 featured a grunge style T-shirt.^[14]

Decoration[edit]

Ringer T-shirt

In the early 1950s, several companies based in Miami, Florida, started to decorate T-shirts with different resort names and various characters. The first company was Tropix Togs, under founder Sam Kantor, in Miami. They were the original licensee for Walt Disney characters in 1976 including Mickey Mouse and Davy Crockett. Later, other companies expanded into the T-shirt printing business, including Sherry Manufacturing Company, also based in Miami. Sherry was founded in 1948 by its owner and founder Quentin H. Sandler as a screen printer of Souvenir Scarf's to the souvenir resort market. Shortly, the company evolved into one of the largest screen printed resort and licensed apparel companies in the United States. The company now (2018) runs automatic Screen Print presses and produces up to 10,000 to 20,000 T-shirts each day.

In the 1960s, the ringer T-shirt appeared and became a staple fashion for youth and rock-n-rollers. The decade also saw the emergence of tie-dyeing and screen-printing on the basic T-shirt and the T-shirt became a medium for wearable art, commercial advertising, souvenir messages, and protest art messages. Psychedelic art poster designer Warren Dayton pioneered several political, protest, and pop-culture art printed large and in color on T-shirts featuring images of Cesar Chavez, political cartoons, and other cultural icons in an article in the Los Angeles Times magazine in late 1969 (ironically, the clothing company quickly cancelled the experimental line, fearing there would not be a market). In the late 1960s, Richard Ellman, Robert Tree, Bill Kelly, and Stanley Mouse set up the Monster Company in Mill Valley, California, to produce fine art designs expressly for T-shirts. Monster T-shirts often feature emblems and motifs associated with the Grateful Dead and marijuana culture.^[15] Additionally, one of the most popular symbols to emerge from the political turmoil of the 1960s were T-shirts bearing the face of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara.^[16]

Today, many notable and memorable T-shirts produced in the 1970s have become ensconced in pop culture. Examples include the bright yellow happy face T-shirts, The Rolling Stones tops with their "tongue and lips"^[17] logo, and Milton Glaser's iconic "I ♥ N Y” design. In the mid-1980s, the white T-shirt became fashionable after the actor Don Johnson wore it with an Armani suit in Miami Vice.^[9]

V-Neck[edit]

A V-neck T-shirt has a V-shaped neckline, as opposed to the round neckline of the more common crew neck shirt (also called a U-neck). V-necks were introduced so that the neckline of the shirt does not show when worn beneath an outer shirt, as would that of a crew neck shirt.^[18][19][20]

Screen printing[edit]

The most common form of commercial T-shirt decoration is screen printing. In screen printing, a design is separated into individual colors. Plastisol or water based inks are applied to the shirt through mesh screens which limits the areas where ink is deposited. In most commercial T-shirt printing, the specific colors in the design are used. To achieve a wider color spectrum with a limited number of colors, process printing (using only cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink) or simulated process (using only white, black, red, green, blue, and gold ink) is effective. Process printing is best suited for light colored shirts.^[21] The simulated process is best suited for dark colored shirts.

In 1959, the invention of plastisol provided an ink more durable and stretchable than water-based ink, allowing much more variety in T-shirt designs. Very few companies continue to use water-based inks on their shirts. The majority of companies that create shirts prefer plastisol due to the ability to print on varying colors without the need for color adjustment at the art level.

Specialty inks trend in and out of fashion and include shimmer, puff, discharge, and chino based^[22] inks. A metallic foil can be heat pressed and stamped onto any plastisol ink. When combined with shimmer ink, metallics give a mirror like effect wherever the previously screened plastisol ink was applied. Specialty inks are more expensive to purchase as well as screen and tend to appear on garments in boutiques.

Other methods of decoration used on T-shirts include airbrush, applique, embroidery, impressing or embossing, and the ironing on of either flock lettering, heat transfers, or dye-sublimation transfers. Laser printers are capable of printing on plain paper using a special toner containing sublimation dyes which can then be permanently heat-transferred to T-shirts.

In the 1980s, thermochromatic dyes were used to produce T-shirts that changed color when subjected to heat. The Global Hypercolour brand of these was a common sight on the streets of the UK for a few years but has since mostly disappeared. These were also very popular in the United States among teenagers in the late 1980s. A downside of color-change garments is that the dyes can easily be damaged, especially by washing in warm water or dye other clothes during washing.

Tie dye[edit]

Tie dye originated in India, Japan, Jamaica, and Africa as early as the sixth century.^[23] Some forms of tie dye are Bandhani (the oldest known technique) used in Indian cultures, and Shibori primarily used in Japanese cultures. It was not until the 1960s that tie dye was introduced to America during the hippie movement.^[23]

Heat transfer vinyl (HTV)[edit]

Another form of T-shirt decoration is heat transfer vinyl, also called HTV. HTV is a polyurethane material that allows apparel designers to create unique layered designs using a specialized software program. Once the design is created, it is then cut through the material using a vinyl cutter (or Cut n Press) machine.

There are dozens of different colors available, as well as glitter, reflective, and now even unique patterns (such as mermaid skin) which come in rolls and sheets.

After the design is cut, there is a process called “weeding” whereby the areas of the design that do not represent the design are picked away from the transfer sheet and removed so that the intended design remains. HTV is typically smooth to the touch and does not feel rubbery or stiff. The edges are typically clean cut and produce high contrast.

Designers can also create multiple color designs, or multi-layered designs using HTV. This process would be done in the design software before the design is sent to the cutter for the different materials. A heat press is then used to apply pressure and heat to the vinyl so that the material permanently adheres to the garment. The temperature and pressure vary according to the manufacturers specifications.

Dye-sublimation printing[edit]

Dye-sublimation printing is a direct-to-garment digital printing technology using full color artwork to transfer images to polyester and polymer-coated substrate based T-shirts. Dye-sublimation (also commonly referred to as all-over printing) came into widespread use in the 21st century, enabling some designs previously impossible. Printing with unlimited colors using large CMYK printers with special paper and ink is possible, unlike screen printing which requires screens for each color of the design. All-over print T-shirts have solved the problem with color fading and the vibrancy is higher than most standard printing methods but requires synthetic fabrics for the ink to take hold. The key feature of dye-sublimated clothing is that the design is not printed on top of the garment, but permanently dyed into the threads of the shirt, ensuring that it will never fade.

Dye-sublimation is economically viable for small-quantity printing; the unit cost is similar for short or long production runs. Screen printing has higher setup costs, requiring large numbers to be produced to be cost-effective, and the unit cost is higher.

Solid ink is changed into a gas without passing through a liquid phase (sublimation), using heat and pressure. The design is first produced in a computer image file format such as jpg, gif, png, or any other. It is printed on a purpose-made computer printer (as of 2016^[update] most commonly Epson or Ricoh brands)^{[citation needed]} using large heat presses to vaporize the ink directly into the fabric. By mid-2012, this method had become widely used for T-shirts.

Other methods[edit]

Before the hippie movement Rit Dye was known as a hobby for older women. Other methods of decorating shirts include using paints, markers, fabric transfer crayons, dyes, spray paint, and many more. Some techniques that can be used include sponging, stenciling, daubing, stamping, screen printing, bleaching, and many more.^[24] As technology advances, it offers more experimentations and possibilities for designers and artists to seek for innovative techniques with their T-shirts. Some new T-shirt creators have used designs with multiple advanced techniques, which includes using glow-in-the-dark inks, heat-sensitive fabrics, foil printing and all-over printing. Other designers like Robert Geller, a German-born American fashion designer, has created unique T-shirt collections such as Seconds which feature oversized graphic T-shirts made from super soft jersey materials. Alexander Wang, on the other hand, came out with variations of T-shirts from oversized scoop necks, tanks to striped, slouchy rayon jerseys.^[25] Artists like Terence Koh, took a different approach, with T-shirts featuring an upside down portrait with a real bullet hole hand finished by him for the Soho store Opening Ceremony.^[26]

Who are the 10 best stom t-shirt printing companies in 2019?

This custom t-shirt printing company review list will help.

Let’s preface this by saying yes, we are a custom t-shirt printing and embroidering company, and yes, we are proud of our work. But we’re not perfect for everyone and neither is anyone else! I’ll explain..

As both a manufacturer and long-time consumer of custom apparel, we’ve gained useful insight as to what to look for in custom t-shirt screen printing and embroidery shops.  

Depending on your needs, you’ll need to decide whether to use a large custom apparel shop, a small one, or someone in the middle.

Larger Shops:

Larger t-shirt printing companies can usually provide a more robust product line with faster turnaround times but normally have a hard time budging on price due to huge advertising expenses, rapid expansion, and strict pricing guidelines.

Smaller Shops:

Smaller/ custom t-shirt printing companies can offer lower prices because of their overall lower overhead – less advertising, cheaper manual equipment, and less experienced employees. While this may be beneficial for smaller custom t-shirt orders with tight budgets, big orders are usually problematic for mom and pop shops. From past experiences, we’ve noticed small shops tend to have more production errors and delays for a variety of reasons. The most common lack of organization, hobby-grade manual screen presses, inadequate quality control, and sometimes just plain cutting corners because they failed to charge enough to cover costs.

Before we go any further let me just say we have seen some great work from smaller custom t-shirt printing companies. Some of them have 100% dedication to quality and love their craft as much as we do. The problem is there are so many custom t-shirt companies that it’s hard to know which ones are reliable and which aren’t until after you’ve ordered and spent your hard-earned money.

Quick Tips:

• For the budget conscious – consider white shirts with 1-2 color print, ordering in bulk, and affordable-yet-comfortable styles. Our top picks: Gildan G500, Gildan Softstyle, American Apparel 2001W
• For the ultimate in softness – consider triblend t-shirts which feel like cashmere but wash like a regular shirt. Our top picks: Bella Canvas 3415C V-Neck, Next Level 6010 Crew, Bella Canvas 8435 Ladies’ V-Neck  
• For smaller custom t-shirt orders (under 24 shirts) I’d consider using a smaller, local print shop especially if you need your shirts ASAP.
• For larger custom t-shirt orders, from 50-1,000,000+ shirts, we consider Bulk Custom Shirts the best custom t-shirt print shop. Here’s why…

1. Bulk Custom Shirts

Website:https://bulkcustomshirts.com

Turnaround Time: 3 – 14 days

100 Black Gildan T Shirts with 3-color print would cost $6.29 each

Cons of Bulk Custom Shirts

Summary:

Bulk Custom Shirts is the best custom t-shirt printing company for you if your order is over 50 shirts, you’re going for the best value, and quality is important to you & your organization. Since Bulk Custom Shirts is specialized in bulk orders and b2b production, their clients get t-shirt screen printing and embroidery at a fraction of the cost of “no-minimum” facilities. Their centralized Austin and Dallas, TX facilities allow them to deliver orders quickly nationwide.

2. Café Press

Website:https://www.cafepress.com

Turnaround Time: 4 – 12 days

100 Black Generic T Shirts with 3-color print would cost $14 each

Pros of Café Press

• Good place to get custom t-shirt design ideas
• Great for presents and single item/small orders
• Cool pre-designed and custom baby clothes, kitchenware, and home accessories to buy as gifts

Cons of Café Press

• Expensive for larger orders
• Very limited selection of custom t-shirts – didn’t see brands just generic options

Summary: We’ve ordered some cool t-shirts, mugs and a wall clock from here as one does late at night.  However, between the limited apparel options, the extra $100+ shipping fee for 100 shirts, and overall high price, we felt like it wasn’t the right fit for larger orders. It’s still a great place to browse through their designs and for gift ideas!

3. Custom Ink

Website:https://customink.com

Turnaround Time: 3 – 14 days

100 Black Gildan T Shirts with 3-color print would cost $8.29 each

Pros of Custom Ink

• Huge selection of custom t-shirts and custom promo products
• Free 2-week delivery
• Online custom t-shirt designer great for creating design ideas
• No-minimums on some custom t-shirts and products
• You can start a fundraiser and sell t-shirts through their website

Cons of Custom Ink

• Expensive for larger orders

Summary:

Custom Ink has one of the best t-shirt designers online. Despite their higher prices, they are a solid choice for small orders or if you want to use their designer to create a design. Furthermore, if you’re a non-profit trying to raise funds by selling custom t-shirts, you can upload your design and put it on their website – similar to Teespring or Printful.

4. Icon Creativ

Website:https://iconcreativ.com

Turnaround Time: 3 – 14 days

100 Black Gildan T-Shirts with 3-color print would cost $6.49 each

Pros of Icon Creativ:

• In-house design team
• High quality
• Competitively priced
• Handles medium-large orders

Cons of Icon Creativ

• Limited promotional products to choose from online
• No online designer
• Minimum order 24 t-shirts

Summary:

Icon is similar to Bulk Custom Shirts except with slightly lower minimum orders. Their online catalog of products isn’t as refined as Bulk Custom Shirts, but the team knows a lot about their custom products and can quickly help with design and product selection. Therefore, if you need at least 24 t-shirts and want help producing your order quickly, Icon is a great, affordable choice.

5. Vistaprint

Website: https://www.vistaprint.com

Turnaround Time: 3 – 10 days

100 Black Gildan T Shirts* with 3-color print would cost $9.87 each

Pros of Vistaprint

• Great for business cards, mugs, and business signs
• Good quality – even the cheap business cards came out nice

Cons of Vistaprint

• Expensive custom apparel
• Could only enter 20 shirts per size online – so if you need 25 mediums you’ll have to order twice or contact them
• T-shirt designer not as useful as competitors

Summary: We love Vistaprint and always get our business cards – and usually a mousepad or other sweet personalized upsell – from there. It’s hard to beat their quality and price on paper products, period. However, it feels like their custom t-shirt department is more of a squeezed-in service than a specialty they’re proud of . Regardless, we appreciate their business and their customer service. *The Gildan G500 we use for price comparison wasn’t available here so we used a comparable model.

6. Designhill

Website:https://www.designhill.com

Turnaround Time: 5 – 15 days

100 Black Gildan T Shirts with 3-color print would cost $12.96 each

Pros of Designhill

• The have designers that’ll design your logo for around $149
• Get multiple designers to create logos and designs for custom t-shirts, signs, and even car wraps.

Cons of Designhill

• They’re more of a design studio like Fiverr than a t-shirt print shop
• Expensive for producing t-shirts
• Shipping extra
• Delivery date unspecified “3-5 days after fulfillment”

Summary:

If you haven’t created your logo or design yet, Designhill can make you several via their network of independent graphic designers. Think Fiverr.com style designer without having to reach out to designers one by one. However, if you just need some touch-ups to your current design or something really simple your best bet is to reach out to a custom t-shirt printing company directly to avoid the $149 design fee.

7. Printful

Website:https://www.printful.com

Turnaround Time: 5 – 12 days

100 Black Premium T Shirts with 3-color print would cost $9.29 each

Pros of Printful

• Great drop-shipping custom t-shirt fulfillment service
• Connects to your ecommerce site
• Good for testing out new product designs before bulk ordering
• Multi-national printing locations

Cons of Printful

• Expensive, but worth it if drop-shippers
• Not ideal for ordering custom t-shirts for yourself or your organization

Summary: If you’re planning on selling custom t-shirts online and haven’t grown enough to stock items at a fulfillment center, or would rather it be super automated, Printful is a great option. You upload your design, connect your website to their platform, and they’ll handle collecting payments, printing, and shipping to your customers. Certainly, a pretty sweet gig if you don’t plan on selling in person. The downside – if you’re planning on ordering custom t-shirts for yourself or your company, expect to pay a premium.

8. Big Frog

Website: https://www.bigfrog.com

Turnaround Time: 2 – 14 days depending on franchise location and schedule

100 Black Gildan T Shirts with 3-color print would cost ?

Pros of Big Frog

• No minimums on some products
• Fast turnaround for small local orders

Cons of Big Frog

• No prices online
• No online t-shirt designer
• Limited selection of peripheral custom products listed

Summary:

The Big Frog franchise has locations throughout central US capable of DTG printing, screen printing, embroidery and vinyl printing for banners. If you need an order under 24 custom t-shirts quickly, and isn’t a big deciding factor, Big Frog or some mall kiosks can be a great option for you.

9. Teespring

Website: https://teespring.com

Turnaround Time: 3 – 14 days

100 Black Basic T Shirts with 3-color print would cost $10 each

Pros of Teespring

• Designed for selling your shirts on their platform and dropshipping
• Their fulfillment handles printing, shipping, and invoicing your customers
• They hold your items and advertise them for you

Cons of Teespring

• Print costs are high because they handle fulfillment for custom t-shirt reselling

Summary:

Similar to Printful and Shopify in that you create a design, upload it, and list your custom t-shirt on their website to sell to their clients. Therefor, o are processed and shipped by Teespring and profits are sent to you. While this is another great platform for an online t-shirt dropshipping business, it’s not an affordable option for you to order custom t-shirts for your company or next event.

10. Printify

Website:https://printify.com

Turnaround Time: 6 days after order placement

100 Black Gildan T Shirts with 3-color print would cost $9.50 each

Pros of Printify

• No minimums
• Connects to your e-commerce store
• Handles fulfillment for dropshippers
• You choose the subcontractors who print your orders
• Can design shirts, mugs, pillows, and other cool products

Cons of Printify

• Expensive, but on par for dropshipping
• Made mainly for custom t-shirt resellers
• Not as many products as competitors

Summary:

Like Teespring and Printful, this custom t-shirt print shop allows you to sell t-shirts on your eCommerce site while they handle the fulfillment. From experience, the range of quality between custom t-shirt print shops varies greatly.  Hence, that’s why I really like that they list the 90+ subcontractors they work with and allow you to choose who fulfills your orders.  If you’re sick of getting returns and orders messed up, you have the freedom to change your subcontractor with them. If you want even more control, maybe it’s time to switch from drop-shipping to in-house fulfillment. That allows you to do quality control, brand yourself further by adding stickers and notes, plus you can afford to give extra goodies to clients when you save on bulk orders with a company like Bulk Custom Shirts.

I hope you’ve found this post useful! If anyone needs advice on which products to choose, best practices for designing custom t-shirts, or simply need help ordering custom merchandise, please feel free to reach out or comment below!

Sincerely,

T-shirt

Style of inexpensive fabric shirt

For other uses, see T-Shirt (disambiguation).

A woman wearing a pink V-neck T-shirt

A T-shirt, or tee shirt, is a style of fabric shirt named after the T shape of its body and sleeves. Traditionally, it has short sleeves and a round neckline, known as a crew neck, which lacks a collar. T-shirts are generally made of a stretchy, light, and inexpensive fabric and are easy to clean. The T-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 19th century and, in the mid-20th century, transitioned from undergarment to general-use casual clothing.

They are typically made of cotton textile in a stockinette or jersey knit, which has a distinctively pliable texture compared to shirts made of woven cloth. Some modern versions have a body made from a continuously knitted tube, produced on a circular knitting machine, such that the torso has no side seams. The manufacture of T-shirts has become highly automated and may include cutting fabric with a laser or a water jet.

T-shirts are inexpensive to produce and are often part of fast fashion, leading to outsized sales of T-shirts compared to other attire.^[1] For example, two billion T-shirts are sold per year in the United States,^[2] or the average person from Sweden buys nine T-shirts a year.^[3] Production processes vary but can be environmentally intensive, and include the environmental impact caused by their materials, such as cotton which is both pesticide and water intensive.^[4][5][6]

History[edit]

Simple, T-shaped top garments have been a part of human clothing since ancient times; garments similar to the T-shirt worn earlier in history are generally called tunics.

The modern T-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 19th century. First, the one-piece union suit underwear was cut into separate top and bottom garments, with the top long enough to tuck under the waistband of the bottoms. With and without buttons, they were adopted by miners and stevedores during the late 19th century as a convenient covering for hot environments.

As slip-on garments without buttons, the earliest T-shirt dates back to sometime between the 1898 Spanish–American War and 1904, when the Cooper Underwear Company ran a magazine ad announcing a new product for bachelors. In the "before" photo, a man averts his eyes from the camera as if embarrassed; he has lost all the buttons on his undershirt and has safety-pinned its flaps together. In the "after" photo, a virile gentleman sports a handlebar mustache, smokes a cigar and wears a "bachelor undershirt" stretchy enough to be pulled over the head. "No safety pins — no buttons — no needle — no thread", ran the slogan aimed at men with no wives who lacked sewing skills.^[7]

In 1913, the U.S. Navy first issued them as undergarments.^[8] These were a crew-necked, short-sleeved, white cotton undershirt to be worn under a uniform. It became common for sailors and Marines in work parties, the early submarines, and tropical climates to remove their uniform jacket, thus wearing (and soiling) only the undershirt.^[9] They soon became popular as a bottom layer of clothing for workers in various industries, including agriculture. The T-shirt was easily fitted, easily cleaned, and inexpensive, and for those reasons, it became the shirt of choice for young boys. Boys' shirts were made in various colors and patterns. The word T-shirt became part of American English by the 1920s, and appeared in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.^[8]

By the Great Depression, the T-shirt was often the default garment to be worn when doing farm or ranch chores, as well as other times when modesty called for a torso covering but conditions called for lightweight fabrics.^[9] Following World War II, it was worn by Navy men as undergarments and slowly became common to see veterans wearing their uniform trousers with their T-shirts as casual clothing. The shirts became even more popular in the 1950s after Marlon Brando wore one in A Streetcar Named Desire, boone county high school football schedule achieving status as fashionable, stand-alone, outerwear garments.^[10] Often boys wore them while doing chores and playing outside, eventually opening up the idea of wearing them as general-purpose casual clothing.

Printed T-shirts were in limited use by 1942 when an Air Corps Gunnery School T-shirt appeared on the cover of Life magazine. In the 1960s, printed T-shirts gained popularity for self-expression as well for advertisements, protests, and souvenirs.

Current versions are available in many different designs and fabrics, and styles include crew-neck and V-neck shirts. T-shirts are among the most worn garments of clothing used today. T-shirts are especially popular with branding for companies or merchandise, as they are inexpensive to make and purchase.

Trends[edit]

T-shirts were originally worn as undershirts, but are now worn frequently as the only piece of clothing on the top half of the body, other than possibly a brassiere or, rarely, a waistcoat (vest). T-shirts have also become a medium for self-expression and advertising, with any imaginable combination of words, art and photographs on display.^[11]

A T-shirt typically extends to the waist. Variants of the T-shirt, such as the V-neck, have been developed. Hip hop fashion calls for tall-T shirts which may printed v neck t shirts online down to the knees. A similar item is the T-shirt dress or T-dress, a dress-length T-shirt that can be worn without pants.^[12] Long T-shirts are also sometimes worn by women as nightgowns. A 1990s trend in women's clothing involved tight-fitting cropped T-shirt or crop tops short enough to reveal tri city national bank greenfield wi midriff. Another less popular trend is wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt of a contrasting color over a long-sleeved T-shirt, which is known as layering. T-shirts that are tight to the body are called fitted, tailored or baby doll T-shirts.

With the rise of social media and video sharing sites also came numerous tutorials on DIY T-shirt projects.^[13] These videos typically provided instructions on how to modify an old shirt into a new, more fashionable form.

Expressive messages[edit]

Since the 1960s, T-shirts have flourished as a form of personal expression.^[11]Screen printed T-shirts have been a standard form of marketing for major American consumer products, such as Coca-Cola and Mickey Mouse, since the 1970s. It has also been commonly used to commemorate an event or to make a political or personal statement. Since the 1990s, it has become common practice for companies of all sizes to produce T-shirts with their corporate logos or messages as part of their overall advertising campaigns. Since the late 1980s and especially the 1990s, T-shirts with prominent designer-name logos have become popular, especially with teenagers and young adults. These garments allow consumers to flaunt their taste for designer brands in an inexpensive way, in addition to being decorative. Examples of what time does pickup close at walmart T-shirt branding include Calvin Klein, FUBU, Ralph Lauren, American Apparel, and The Gap. These examples also include representations of rock bands, among other obscure pop-culture references. Licensed T-shirts are also extremely popular. Movie and TV T-shirts can have images of the actors, logos, and funny quotations from the movie or TV show. Often, the most popular T-shirts are those that characters wore in the film itself (e.g., Bubba Gump from Forrest Gump and Vote For Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite).

Designer Katharine Hamnett, in the early 1980s, pioneered outsize T-shirts with large-print slogans. The early first decade of the 21st century saw the renewed popularity of T-shirts with slogans and designs with a strong inclination to the humorous and/or ironic. The trend has only increased later in this decade, embraced by celebrities, such as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, and reflected back on them, too ('Team Aniston'). The political and social statements that T-shirts often display have become, since the first decade of the 21st century, one of the reasons that they have so deeply permeated different levels of culture and society. The statements also may be found to be offensive, shocking, or pornographic to some. Examples of T-shirt stores and designers known for using offensive and shocking messages include T-Shirt Hell and Apollo Braun. Many different organizations have caught on to the statement-making trend, including chain and independent stores, websites, and schools.

A popular phrase on the front of demonstrating the popularity of T-shirts among tourists is the humorous phrase "I went to _____ and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." Examples include "My parents went to Las Vegas and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." T-shirt exchange is an activity where people trade the T-shirts walmart money card balance espanol they are wearing.

Artists like Bill Beckley, Glen Baldridge and Peter Klashorst use T-shirts in their work. Models such as Victoria Beckham and Gisele Bundchen wore T-shirts through the 2000s. Paris Fashion Week 2014 featured a grunge style T-shirt.^[14]

Decoration[edit]

Ringer T-shirt

In the early 1950s, several companies based in Miami, Florida, started to decorate T-shirts with different resort names and various characters. The first company was Tropix Togs, under founder Sam Kantor, in Miami. They were the original licensee for Walt Disney characters in 1976 including Mickey Mouse and Davy Crockett. Later, other companies expanded into the T-shirt printing business, including Sherry Manufacturing Company, also based in Miami. Sherry was founded in 1948 by its owner and founder Quentin H. Sandler as a screen printer of Souvenir Scarf's to the souvenir resort market. Shortly, the company evolved into one of the largest screen printed resort and licensed apparel companies in the United States. The company now (2018) runs automatic Screen Print presses and produces printed v neck t shirts online to 10,000 to 20,000 T-shirts each day.

In the 1960s, the ringer T-shirt appeared and became a staple fashion for youth and rock-n-rollers. The decade also saw the emergence of tie-dyeing and screen-printing on the basic T-shirt and the T-shirt became a medium for wearable art, commercial advertising, souvenir messages, and protest art messages. Psychedelic art poster designer Warren Dayton pioneered several political, protest, and pop-culture art printed large and in color on T-shirts featuring images of Cesar Chavez, political cartoons, and other cultural icons in an article in the Los Angeles Times magazine in late 1969 (ironically, the clothing company quickly cancelled the experimental line, fearing there would not be a market). In the late 1960s, Richard Ellman, Robert Tree, Bill Kelly, and Stanley Mouse set up the Monster Company in Mill Valley, California, to produce fine art designs expressly for T-shirts. Monster T-shirts often feature emblems and motifs associated with the Grateful Dead and marijuana culture.^[15] Additionally, one of the most popular symbols to emerge from the political turmoil of the 1960s were T-shirts bearing the face of Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara.^[16]

Today, many notable and memorable T-shirts produced in the 1970s have become ensconced in pop culture. Examples include the bright yellow happy face T-shirts, The Rolling Stones tops with their "tongue and lips"^[17] logo, and Milton Glaser's iconic "I ♥ N Y” design. In the mid-1980s, the white T-shirt became fashionable after the actor Don Johnson wore it with an Armani suit in Miami Vice.^[9]

V-Neck[edit]

A V-neck T-shirt has a V-shaped neckline, as opposed to the round neckline of the more common crew neck shirt (also called a U-neck). V-necks were introduced so that the neckline of the shirt does not show when worn beneath an outer shirt, victoria f bachelor dui would bank millennium login of a crew neck shirt.^[18][19][20]

Screen printing[edit]

A woman wearing a T-shirt with an architectural motif

The most common form of commercial T-shirt decoration is screen printing. In screen printing, a design is separated into individual colors. Plastisol or water based inks are applied to the shirt through mesh screens which limits the areas where ink is deposited. In most commercial T-shirt printing, the specific colors in the design are used. To achieve a wider color spectrum with a limited number of colors, process printing (using only cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink) or simulated process (using only white, black, red, green, blue, and gold ink) is effective. Process printing is best suited for light colored shirts.^[21] The simulated process is best suited for dark colored shirts.

In 1959, the invention of plastisol provided an ink more durable and stretchable than water-based ink, allowing much more variety in T-shirt designs. Very few companies continue to use water-based inks on their shirts. The majority of companies that create shirts prefer plastisol due to the ability to print on varying colors without the need for color adjustment at the art level.

Specialty inks trend in and out of fashion and include shimmer, puff, discharge, and chino based^[22] inks. A metallic foil can be heat pressed and stamped onto any plastisol ink. When combined with shimmer ink, metallics give a mirror like effect wherever the previously screened plastisol ink was applied. Specialty inks are more expensive to purchase as well as screen and tend to appear on garments in boutiques.

Other methods of decoration used on T-shirts include airbrush, applique, embroidery, impressing or embossing, and the ironing on of either flock lettering, heat transfers, or dye-sublimation transfers. Laser printers are capable of printing on plain paper using a special toner containing sublimation dyes which can then be permanently heat-transferred to T-shirts.

In the 1980s, thermochromatic dyes were used to produce T-shirts that changed color when subjected to heat. The Global Hypercolour brand of these was a common sight on the streets of the UK for a few years but has since mostly disappeared. These were also very popular in the United States among teenagers in the late 1980s. A downside of color-change garments is that the dyes can easily be damaged, especially by washing in warm water or dye other clothes during washing.

Tie dye[edit]

Tie dye originated in India, Japan, Jamaica, and Africa as early as the sixth century.^[23] Some forms of tie dye are Bandhani (the oldest known technique) used in Indian cultures, and Shibori primarily used in Japanese cultures. It was not until the 1960s that tie dye was introduced to America during the hippie movement.^[23]

Heat transfer vinyl (HTV)[edit]

Another form of T-shirt decoration is heat transfer vinyl, also called HTV. HTV is a polyurethane material that allows apparel designers to create unique layered designs using a specialized software program. Once the design is created, it is then cut through the material using a vinyl cutter (or Cut n Press) machine.

There are dozens of different colors available, as well as glitter, reflective, and now even unique patterns (such as mermaid skin) which come in printed v neck t shirts online and sheets.

After the design is cut, there is a process called “weeding” whereby the areas of the design that do not represent the design are picked away from the transfer sheet and removed so that the intended design remains. HTV is typically smooth to the touch and does not feel rubbery or stiff. The edges are typically clean cut and produce high contrast.

Designers can also create multiple color designs, or multi-layered designs using HTV. This process would be done in the design software before the design is sent to the cutter for the different materials. A heat press is then used to apply pressure and heat to the vinyl so that the material permanently adheres to the garment. The temperature and pressure vary according to the manufacturers specifications.

Dye-sublimation printing[edit]

Dye-sublimation printing is a direct-to-garment digital printing technology using full color artwork to transfer images to polyester and polymer-coated substrate based T-shirts. Dye-sublimation (also commonly referred to as all-over printing) came into widespread use in the 21st century, enabling some designs previously impossible. Printing with unlimited colors using large CMYK printers with special paper and ink is possible, unlike screen printing which requires screens for each color of the design. All-over print T-shirts have solved the problem with color fading and the vibrancy is higher than most standard printing methods but requires synthetic fabrics for the ink to take hold. The key feature of dye-sublimated clothing is that the design is not printed on top of the garment, but permanently dyed into the threads of the shirt, ensuring that it will never fade.

Dye-sublimation is economically viable for small-quantity printing; the unit cost is similar for short or long production runs. Screen printing has higher setup costs, requiring large numbers to be produced to be cost-effective, and the unit cost is higher.

Solid ink is changed into a gas without passing through a liquid phase (sublimation), using heat and pressure. The design is first produced in a computer image file format such as jpg, gif, png, or any other. It is printed on a purpose-made computer printer (as of 2016^[update] most commonly Epson or Ricoh brands)^{[citation needed]} using large heat britannica great books of the western world ebay to vaporize the ink directly into the fabric. By mid-2012, this method had become widely used for T-shirts.

Other methods[edit]

Before the hippie movement Rit Dye was known as a hobby for older women. Other methods of decorating shirts include using paints, markers, fabric transfer crayons, dyes, spray paint, and many more. Some techniques that can be used include sponging, stenciling, daubing, stamping, screen printing, bleaching, and many more.^[24] As technology advances, it offers more experimentations and possibilities for designers and artists to seek for innovative techniques with their T-shirts. Some new T-shirt creators have used designs with multiple advanced techniques, which includes using glow-in-the-dark inks, heat-sensitive fabrics, foil printing and all-over printing. Other designers like Robert Geller, a German-born American fashion designer, has created unique T-shirt collections such as Seconds which feature oversized graphic T-shirts made from super soft jersey materials. Alexander Wang, on the other hand, came out with variations of T-shirts from oversized scoop necks, tanks to striped, slouchy rayon jerseys.^[25] Artists like Terence Koh, took a different approach, with T-shirts featuring an upside down portrait with a real bullet hole hand finished by him for the Soho store Opening Ceremony.^[26]
