Custom Shirts Printing Services.

Printed heat transfers, CAD-cut designs, and DTF printing for businesses, teams, events, and personal projects. Vibrant designs pressed onto apparel with precision, from detailed artwork to clean names and numbers.

What Makes Custom Shirts Special?

Full-Color Capability

Print complex images, photographs, gradients, and unlimited colors without per-color setup fees. If you can design it, we can press it.

No Minimums

Ideal for small batches, one-off samples, or personal projects. Need just one shirt for a gift or a dozen for a small team? Our Custom Shirts service is the perfect fit.

Fast Turnaround

Setup is incredibly quick compared to screen printing. This makes it the ultimate solution for tight deadlines and last-minute events.

What We Make With Custom Shirts

Our apparel transfers are incredibly versatile, with options for cotton, polyester, blends, and even canvas. CAD-cut heat-transfer vinyl is heat-pressed onto apparel—not used as an adhesive graphic on windows or walls.

Custom Shirts Services

Choose printed heat transfers, CAD-cut apparel lettering, or DTF printing. For adhesive graphics on hard surfaces, visit our Vinyl service.

Printed Heat Transfers

Our most popular option—full-color artwork printed as a transfer and heat-pressed onto apparel. Great for Instagram-style art, gradients, or digital illustrations.

DTF Printing

Direct to Film (DTF) printing is a good choice for full color and intricate, floating designs. The design is printed onto film, then transferred to apparel with heat.

Also Available: Sublimation

Perfect for white polyester fabric—long-lasting, no fade.

CAD-Cut Heat Transfers

Heat-transfer vinyl cut into crisp lettering, jersey names and numbers, and single-color logos, then applied to apparel with a heat press. This is apparel vinyl, not adhesive hard-surface vinyl.

  • Glitter Vinyl: Adds sparkle for dance teams, cheer squads, and events.
  • Metallic & Chrome: Eye-catching finishes that pop.
  • Reflective: Safety gear, night visibility wear.
  • Flock: A soft, suede-like feel for a premium finish.

Comparing Your Options

Not sure which Custom Shirts option is right for you? Compare printed transfers with CAD-cut apparel lettering below. Screen Printing and Embroidery remain separate apparel-decoration services.

Custom Shirts transfers are your best choice for orders under 24 pieces or designs with many colors. Screen printing is more cost-effective for bulk orders of 24-48+ items.

Vs. Embroidery

More Detail

Printed shirt transfers allow for photorealistic detail and gradients that thread cannot replicate, and work on lighter, thinner fabrics where embroidery might pucker.

Printed Transfers vs. CAD-Cut Apparel Lettering

Full Color

Printed shirt transfers reproduce full-color artwork, photographs, and gradients. CAD-cut heat-transfer vinyl is cut into solid-color lettering, jersey names and numbers, and simple apparel logos. Both are heat-applied to clothing.

DTF is a good choice for full color and intricate, floating designs. Adhesive window, wall, and sign graphics belong to our separate Vinyl service.
