Custom T-Shirt Guide
A practical DESOMA guide to custom T-shirts, including artwork preparation, print versus embroidery choices, production timing, care, and use cases for gifts, events, teams, and brand merchandise.
- Use digital print for detailed artwork, photos, gradients, and larger full-color graphics.
- Use embroidery for names, simple logos, premium texture, and durable brand details.
- Prepare artwork at 300 DPI for print or a clear logo/vector file for embroidery review.
- Production time depends on design approval, product availability, decoration method, and quantity.
Start with the use case
A custom T-shirt for a gift, event, staff uniform, campaign, or brand launch has different design needs. Gifts can be more personal; uniforms need durability and readability; event merchandise usually needs a clear design that works across many sizes.
Prepare artwork correctly
For printing, submit high-resolution artwork at the final print size when possible. For embroidery, simple shapes, clean text, and strong contrast usually stitch better than tiny details or complex gradients.
Choose the right decoration method
Digital print is best for full-color artwork and photographic detail. Embroidery is best for a premium stitched finish, names, logos, and designs that should feel more tactile and durable.
