By Roshan KumarPublished 2 years ago 4 min read

As we are living in the era of personalization, our clothes can also serve as the depictors of our personality. Yes, it's possible! Have you heard of custom shirts with pictures? It simply means customizing your shirts with the kind of pictures you want. But the landscape of customization is not just about getting the pictures. In this blog post, we will learn more about printing customized t-shirts to express yourself ‘more’ and ‘better.’

Why To Make My Tee Design?

Not only one but multiple reasons can tempt you to make your own tee designs with pictures. Let's have a look at some of them:

Uniquely You

When one makes ‘my tee design’ with one's favorite photos, it resonates with the feelings and emotions associated with the person. Don't you want to carry your emotions related to your pet? A customized tee shirt can help!

Picture-Perfect Gifts

If you want to present someone on their special occasion, like a birthday or anniversary or anything else, custom printed t-shirts are a thoughtful and sentimental gift.

Team Spirit

You can also unify your group for any sporting event, family reunion, or work retreat by getting custom shirts with pictures.

Budget-Friendly Branding

If you are a new startup and want to perform branding of your newly launched business, a custom picture t-shirt is a cost-effective idea. In brief, they are budget custom t shirts that can save you a lot of money.

Choosing Your Printing Method

No matter for what purpose you choose a customized t-shirt with a picture, there are so many printing techniques available for customizing your t-shirts. Always keep in mind that different printing options for district clothing come with their own strengths and limitations. Some of the most popular printing methods are as follows:

Screen Printing

In this printing technique, the ink is pushed through a stencil onto the fabric of the t-shirt. As a result, your tee will get a vibrant and durable print. This classic and versatile technique is chosen for large quantities of custom t-shirts with pictures and bold designs.

Direct-To-Garment (DTG)

In the direct-to-garment technique, we use inkjet technology to apply ink directly to the garment (the tee), as the name itself suggests very clearly. It's excellent for intricate designs and small orders. Why? Because if you choose DTG for bulk orders, it might not be a cost-effective option.

Heat Transfer

In this printing method, we generally apply pre-printed designs/ pictures on the t-shirt using heat and pressure. If you have simple pictures to be printed on the tees and want them in fewer quantities, you can go with this technique.

Sublimation

Sublimation is a special printing technique that uses special kinds of prepared inks to bond with the fabric fibers. Ultimately, it provides a very smooth and permanent (long-lasting) print to the tees. Generally, people prefer this method for synthetic fabrics such as polyester. Also, if you want full-color custom shirts with pictures, this can be the best printing technique to go with.

How To Make The Best Custom Print T-Shirt?

As you decide on the printing method, it's the final show time. Now, you have to design your masterpiece to make it yours completely. Let's understand some tips on how to do it below.

Software

If you are collaborating with a printing company, it might have the option of user-friendly design tools. If not, you can also use graphic design software available online like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.

Resolution

Always keep in mind that in the case of budget custom t-shirts with pictures, the resolution is the most important factor. By resolution, we mean ‘DPI’, i.e. dots per inch. To avoid pixelation in the final print of the tee, try to work with high-resolution images having 300 dpi or higher.

Color Matching

You need to make sure that the color of the shirt you choose goes well in contrast with your chosen picture. Otherwise, it might look odd.

Simplicity is Key

If you are going with picture t-shirts already, try to keep it simple. Don't get involved in too much designing. Keep it simple, sober, and minimalist yet attractive.

Finding The Right Printer

You can find so many printing companies available online. But what factors you should consider to find the best one? Let's understand below:

Printing Method

You will have to take care of the printing method the company is providing. We have discussed some of the methods above. Research thoroughly and find out which one would go fine with your tee’s fabric.

T-Shirt Quality

Work with those printing companies that use high-quality and comfortable t-shirts. Also, you can look for various styles and sizes. If you are choosing district tank tops with pictures, you will have to be specific about the quality.

Pricing And Minimum Order

You can compare prices and your minimum required order requirements among different companies available. Go with the one that fits your budget and needs.

Conclusion

Custom t-shirt printing empowers you to convert a simple-looking garment into a bold statement piece. And whenever you wear it, you will feel confident and unique. If you also want to get custom t-shirts with pictures, MyTeeShirt Store can help you!
