Question 1

What materials are your t-shirts made from?

Accepted Answer

Our standard tees are 100% ring-spun cotton at 4.2 oz weight. We also offer tri-blend options (50% polyester, 25% cotton, 25% rayon) for a softer, more relaxed feel. All fabrics are pre-shrunk.

Question 2

How should I care for my printed t-shirt?

Accepted Answer

Machine wash cold inside-out with like colors. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron directly on the print. Following these steps will keep your design looking fresh for years.

Question 3

What sizes do you carry for t-shirts?

Accepted Answer

We carry sizes from XS through 5XL across most designs. Sizing follows standard US measurements. Check the size chart on each product page for exact chest width and body length for your chosen style.

Question 4

What is the difference between regular and slim fit?

Accepted Answer

Regular fit has a relaxed body with about 2 inches of extra room through the chest. Slim fit is tapered through the waist and chest for a more fitted look. Both use the same premium fabrics and printing.

Question 5

How long does the print last on a t-shirt?

Accepted Answer

Our DTG (direct-to-garment) prints are absorbed into the fabric fibers. With proper care (cold wash, low heat dry), the design stays vibrant for 50+ washes without cracking, peeling, or fading.

Question 6

Can I order a custom size or color?

Accepted Answer

Each design is available in the colors and sizes shown on its product page. We do not offer custom sizing, but our range from XS to 5XL covers most body types. If you need help choosing, our support team can advise.

Question 7

Are your t-shirts true to size?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our tees follow standard US sizing. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a relaxed fit or staying true for a fitted look. The size chart on each page shows exact measurements in inches and centimeters.

Question 8

What printing method do you use for t-shirts?

Accepted Answer

We use DTG (direct-to-garment) printing, which sprays water-based inks directly into the fabric. This produces photo-quality detail with soft hand feel since the ink bonds with the fibers rather than sitting on top.

Question 9

Do you offer bulk or group order discounts?

Accepted Answer

For orders of 10 or more of the same design, contact our support team for group pricing. We also offer custom creator storefronts for teams, events, and organizations.

Question 10

How quickly will my t-shirt ship?

Accepted Answer

Most t-shirts are printed and shipped within 2-4 business days. Standard domestic delivery adds 3-7 business days. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout.

Question 11

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. All transactions are processed securely with SSL encryption.
