Choosing a print method
The right method depends on your design, your quantity and the garment:
- DTF: full-color designs, photos and gradients, and orders where every shirt is different.
- Screen printing: larger runs of one design in a few solid colors. See screen printing in Atlanta.
- Embroidery: a raised, stitched logo on polos, hats, jackets and hoodies. See custom embroidery.
- Dye sublimation: vivid, all-over color, which we use for custom blankets.
How to order custom shirts

- Pick up or ship. Choose free local pickup in Alpharetta, or have your order shipped with tracking.
Tips for great-looking custom shirts
- Size the design for the shirt. Adult full-front prints are typically 10–12" wide and youth prints 6–8", so group orders often need two versions. Our DTF size guide lists common widths.
- Keep text readable. Make every line of text 8 pt or larger at the final print size.
- Think about contrast. Light designs stand out on dark shirts, and dark designs on light ones. DTF transfers include a white underbase, so colors stay bright on dark garments.
- Collect sizes early. For team and staff orders, gather every size in one list before you order.

Custom shirts for Atlanta teams and schools
Team orders often pair one shared design with a different name and number on every shirt. DTF handles the names well, because each one is simply its own transfer, while screen printing suits a shared design on a big run.
For game-day looks, see our custom team uniforms for baseball, basketball, soccer, football, volleyball, softball, lacrosse and track.
