5 Mistakes to Avoid When Ordering Custom Printed Shirts

Ordering custom shirts doesn’t have to be complicated—but there are a few common mistakes that can slow things down or cost you money. Here’s how to avoid them.

❌ Mistake #1: Sending Low-Quality Artwork

Blurry or pixelated files won’t print well. We prefer vector files like AI, EPS, or PDF. If you don’t have one, don’t worry—we can help you recreate it.

❌ Mistake #2: Waiting Until the Last Minute

Rush jobs are possible but stressful. Give yourself 2–3 weeks whenever possible. Our standard turnaround is 7–10 business days.

❌ Mistake #3: Choosing the Cheapest Shirt

A cheap shirt might look OK at first, but it often shrinks, fades, or feels rough. We’ll help you find a quality option that fits your budget.

❌ Mistake #4: Not Ordering Enough

Reorders cost more due to setup fees. Always order a few extras—especially if you’re outfitting a team or group.

❌ Mistake #5: Not Asking Questions

Confused about anything? Ask! We’re here to guide you through it. Whether you’re in Pasadena, Glendale, or Burbank—we make it easy.
