Not too long ago, we rolled out a new feature in our online t-shirt designer that allows you to add names and numbers to the custom team t-shirts you are designing. The names and numbers feature is a quick and easy way to give you real time pricing for the customization of individual shirts. It also is good for letting you list the names and numbers per size on each tee shirt. Once you place your order this information will be passed along to us in an easy list format that makes it error-free.

We wanted to show you a few screenshots that show each step of completing names and numbers for your custom team T-shirts. The first one shows the names and numbers tool highlighted:

Once you have it up, you can select the options you want for your shirts such as locations, color and quantity:

The last step is just too inner in the information that you won’t for your names and numbers relative to the size you have chosen:

Pretty easy way to get geared up for your next custom team uniforms. We have been printing a lot of custom baseball t-shirts and custom softball t-shirts as the new seasons are coming up. We hope yours are next!

We don’t have camouflage t-shirts on the site but that doesn’t mean that we can’t get them. We got a phone call from a customer asking if we could get purple camouflage t-shirts for his daughter Britney’s Walk for a Cure. We weren’t sure if we could and then we found them. Since they were new to us we provided his artwork to him in two colors so he could choose which one he wanted. Here is how the artwork was sent as the digital proof:

As we have mentioned before, in our post about screens for t-shirt screen printing, every screen has an ink color used for it. These singular/solid ink colors are considered spot colors. Most T-shirt designs consist of four or less spot colors on each location printed. An example of something that wouldn’t be considered a spot color would be a photograph because it has many thousands of colors, shades, and gradients.

Our online T-shirt designer provides you with over 5000 images and over 80 fonts all set up to be single spot colors. This will help you keep the cost down and keep the T-shirt print nice and clean.

What happens if you have a T-shirt design but you want a few different colors T-shirts to be printed on?  For instance, we recently had an order for custom restaurant T-shirts, and the different employees wanted to choose from a few different colors T-shirts.  Our customer’s concern was that she would have to pay for different setups and not get the overall volume discount.  However, that is not the case whenever the design stays the same throughout the shirts.

In that same instant she wanted for different color printed T-shirts and the design had four different spot colors on the back.  One of the colors in the artwork on the back had to alternate between the dark and lighter color printed t shirts.  The words on the front also alternated from black on the light-colored shirts to white on the dark colored shirts.  Because there were only two overall ink changes, we only had to charge $10 per ink change for a total of 20 extra dollars.  So all in all, only 20 extra dollars for four different colored T-shirts out of a total of one hundred shirts.

Here is how the screen printed T-shirts came out:

As we’ve told you before, one of the main factors in pricing custom embroidery has to do with the size of the artwork. The larger the size of the embroidery, the more expensive it is. This is due in part because a larger embroidery area will cause the embroidery to have more stitches and will increase the amount of time it takes to finish the job. We have a few standard locations, we use an embroidery on, and would like to show you the sizes that we use for those locations.

The first and most popular location is the left chest:

The other location we commonly used on apparel is the high center back:

When it comes to headwear, we have the front of the hat:

And the back of the hat:

There are a few other locations available, but these are the most standard for custom embroidery. Please let us know how we can help you with your next custom apparel embroidery project.

A You Design It, we offer three different printing processes. They can be separated between digital T-shirt printing, custom screen printing, and embroidery. If you are looking for less than six pieces we offer digital T-shirt printing. If you are interested in custom t-shirt screen printing we have one of the lowest minimums in the industry with just six pieces. And again with custom embroidery, we have some of the lowest minimums in the industry with just 12 pieces.

The moral of the story is, there is no job too big or too small at You Design It.
