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.

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.
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.
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").

What is flex?

Flex is a printing technique where the design is cut from a colored foil and then pressed onto the shirt under high heat. Some flex printing features are:

Vibrant colors

The printed colors have a slight shine to them and contrast extremely well with fabric.

Longevity and durability

Tests have shown that the form and color of the flex print barely change after 100 washes. It is made of a flexible and resilient material - even thin lines do not break.

How do I get the best results with flex?

With text - due to the vibrant colors and the precise edges, the text appears extremely sharp.
With small and delicate designs, e.g. logos.
On stretchy apparel, like on the Junior's Cap Sleeve Tee .

What should I be aware of when using flex?

The design must be uploaded as a vector graphic . What are the requirements for vector graphics?
Maximum of 3 colors per design. Which colors does Spreadshirt offer?
Especially large designs are not as comfortable to wear, as the flex foil reduces the breathability of the printed apparel.
Especially large designs may crease after a few washes (we recommend ironing the shirts inside-out).
