How Pricing Works

Custom apparel pricing depends on 3 factors:

1. Garment Choice Premium brands cost more than basic tees, but last longer

2. Decoration Method Screen printing is most economical for large orders; embroidery and DTF work better for small batches

3. Quantity Bulk orders unlock better per-unit pricing

Most custom apparel orders fall in the range you’d expect from a quality shop — and we beat most national online printers on both price and turnaround. Design your own clothes online for a quick price, or get a free, no-commitment quote in minutes — just send us what you need.

Custom Clothing Design FAQs

Can I design my own t-shirt online for free?

We pair an easy-to-use online designer with real human support.

No. You can browse garments and build designs without an account. You’ll only need an account if you want to save designs to revisit later.

Vector files (.AI, .SVG, .EPS) work best, but we accept PNG, JPEG, PDF, and most common formats. Don’t worry too much about format — our team reviews every file and will reach out if something needs adjusting. For detailed file format guidance, see our designer tutorial.

Yes, the designer works on mobile devices, though we recommend using a desktop or tablet for the best experience when creating detailed designs.

Reach out to us by phone, email, or stop by the Nampa shop. We’re happy to walk you through any step of the process, or even handle the design for you if you’d prefer.

All major decoration methods: screen printing (best for large runs), DTG (best for full-color photo designs), DTF (versatile, works on most fabrics), HTV (specialty finishes and small batches), and embroidery. Our team will recommend the best method for your design and quantity.

Standard turnaround is 10-14 business days from design approval. Rush options are available — including same-day pickup in Nampa for some orders. We offer nationwide shipping, but turnaround times may be affected by shipping delays.

Most decoration methods have no minimum. DTG, DTF, embroidery, and HTV all work for orders as small as one piece. Screen printing requires a minimum of 12 garments due to setup costs. Our designer will adjust the print method dependent on the quantity; below 12 garments will be DTF, HTV, or DTG – above 12 will default to screen printing. If you’re not sure which method fits your project, we’ll recommend the best option when you request a quote.

Yes. Our designer shows real-time mock-ups as you build, and once you place an order, you’ll receive a free digital proof for approval before anything goes to production. No surprises — you see exactly what you’re getting.
