Spreadshirt-Designer: Guide

What is the Spreadshirt Designer and how can I make my own t-shirt here?

With the Spreadshirt Designer you can design and order your own t-shirts and other products from our apparel assortment. There is no minimum order: you're free to order just one, individually printed shirt.

  1. Choose a t-shirt from our selection. You don’t know which size you need? Find out by clicking on the small information mark next to the product name. Details of the weight and manufacturing can be found there as well.
  2. Choose a design. You can upload your own photography, or pick one out from our Design Network (see Spreadshirt Marketplace). To find out which designs you can upload to the Spreadshirt Designer, have a look at this FAQ item. For basic info on designs for Spreadshirt, click here.
  3. But text can also be nice. Choose a font and write what you want. Your design and text can be turned, mirrored or enlarged within the given print area.
  4. Once the t-shirt looks like you want, proceed to check out and order it.


Every personally designed article is an original: Your design will be placed on the t-shirt according to your instructions. Since this action is not automated, it is possible that there could be minor alterations. Also, it's possible that the design will look smaller or larger in reality. This is because the t-shirt example shown is always a fixed size (often "medium", sometimes "small").

I'm having technical problems with the order process. Any suggestions?

Ordering with Spreadshirt works just fine with most browsers (e.g. Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Opera.) If you do have technical problems, please check the following points and try again to place an order:

  • Does your browser have the latest version of the Flash Player?
  • Are javascript, cookies and pop-ups activated in your browser? If not, the Spreadshirt shop might not be represented properly.
  • Are the high security preferences of your firewall and/or your router interfering with the data transfer over the internet?

If you continue to experience problems, you may want to try using a different web browser. We recommend using Mozilla Firefox for the best results.
