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 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.
- 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 digital printing?
Digital printing is the ideal printing technique for photos and colorful designs which have gradients. This printing technique does not last as long as flex and flock. The colors fade over time.
Digital Direct Printing
- The print is sprayed directly onto the apparel by our Digital Direct machines.
- Digital Direct works well with large designs, however the colors fade after the first few washes. This printing technique is optimal if a "vintage" look is desired. The design looks somewhat washed-out and vibrant colors are not to be expected.
- Digital Direct is a relatively new printing technique, therefore we are not able to print on all of our products.
How do I get the best results with digital printing?
- With photos: an unlimited number of colors are available for the design; color gradients are possible.
- For designs with more than 3 colors and with color gradients.
What should I be aware of when using digital printing?
- The design must be uploaded as a pixel graphic. What are the requirements for pixel graphics?
- Colors fade over time.
