Custom printing
Full color custom printing, from one shirt to a thousand
We print your design in full color onto the garment, so photos, gradients, fine detail and multi-color logos come through exactly as you designed them.
There are no screen fees and no color limits, and the price is the same whether your art has one color or fifty. Order a single shirt or a full run, and pick it up at our Des Moines, Cedar Rapids or Coralville store.

Our custom printing process
Upload your art
Add your logo or artwork in the designer, or choose a template and add your own text.
Place and size it
Pick front, back, chest, sleeve or leg and drag to the exact size you want. The price updates as you go.
We check it
Our team reviews every file for resolution, sizing and placement before anything is printed.
Printed and pressed
Your design is printed in full color and heat pressed onto the garment for a soft, flexible finish.
Pick up or ship
Most orders are ready in 3-5 business days for local pickup or free standard shipping.
Limitations to know before you order
Maximum print sizes
Full front and full back up to 12" wide x 16" tall. Left or right chest up to 4" x 4". Sleeves and legs up to 3" x 3". Designs can be as small as half an inch.
Hats are embroidered, not printed
We decorate caps and beanies with embroidery for a cleaner, longer-lasting result.
Low-resolution art can look blurry
Images pulled from social media or text messages are often too small. If your file will print soft, we will let you know before we print.
Seams, zippers and pockets
We cannot print over seams, zippers, pockets or thick hoodie pouches, so very large designs may be sized down on those garments.
Specialty fabrics
Some waterproof, heavily textured or heat-sensitive fabrics do not take a heat press well. Ask us before ordering specialty garments.
Works best for
- Photos, gradients and detailed artwork
- Logos with many colors
- One-off shirts and small orders
- Individual names on every shirt
- Cotton, polyester and blends, light or dark colors
Artwork tips
- Upload a PNG with a transparent background at 300 DPI at the size you want printed.
- Vector files such as SVG, PDF, AI or EPS print the sharpest.
- Keep thin lines and small text at least 1/16" thick so they hold up in the wash.

Custom printing FAQ
- Is there a minimum order for custom printing?
- No. You can order a single printed shirt. Prices drop at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 100 pieces.
- Do more colors in my design cost more?
- No. Our printing is full color, so a one-color logo and a full color photo cost the same.
- How long does custom printing take?
- Most printed orders are ready in 3-5 business days. Large orders may take longer, and we will give you a date when you order.
- How do I wash a printed shirt?
- Wash inside out in cold water and tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron directly on the print.
- What is the biggest design you can print?
- Up to 12" wide by 16" tall on the front or back of a shirt or hoodie.
- Can I print on hats?
- We embroider hats instead of printing them. See our custom embroidery page for hat sizes and details.
