Want to be different? Making custom T-shirts is the right choice for communities, events, or personal use. Unfortunately, customers are often disappointed by results that don't meet their expectations. This could be because of the wrong size or a design that is too different. Don't worry, follow these 4 tips to avoid similar problems!

1. Know the right size

Who here still relies on S, M, L, and XL labels? Nothing wrong with that, but the reality is that every vendor has different size standards. To ensure your T-shirt fits you perfectly, it's best to ask your chosen service provider for their size chart first!

2. Use high-resolution designs

If you want your design to be detailed and sharp, be sure to send files with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Documents in vector format are preferred by screen printers.

3. Pay attention to the print area

At this stage, please check that the screen printing placement is correct. To ensure that the result is symmetrical and neat, please request a preview of your shirt first.

4. Discuss technical details

Whenever you are going to screen print, make sure you are clear about your preferred screen printing method. Each method has its own characteristics. If you want super detailed and fast results but are not concerned about quality, DTF screen printing is an option. However, for strong durability, manual screen printing is the answer, but sharpness may decrease slightly depending on your chosen design.

By following the 4 tips above, you can minimize mistakes and get the T-shirt of your dreams. So, before making a T-shirt, make sure you have everything ready!
