How to Make a T-Shirt on Amazon

A custom t-shirt is an easy way to share your thoughts and interests with people. But it can also serve a professional purpose: promoting your business or visually unifying your team. You can design personalized gifts, dress your team or employees in a matching uniform, offer shirts in promotional giveaways, or sell branded merch. Whether you’re creating a branded shirt or just want a unique graphic tee, it’s easy to make your own shirt design. With GotPrint’s Amazon storefront, you can customize a t-shirt that ships quickly. We offer a wide variety of t-shirt colors in a crewneck, short-sleeve style that you can personalize online. Maybe you need just one shirt or need to dress a whole soccer team. Either way, custom t-shirt printing is simple with Amazon. Just follow these simple steps to make a unique t-shirt on Amazon.

How to Make a Custom T Shirt

Select a Size

We offer a wide selection of t shirt sizes. For children, we have Youth sizes in small to large and Toddler sizes in 2T, 3T, and 4T. Our Women’s sizes range from small to 2XL, and the custom t-shirt for Men sizing ranges from Small to 3XL. Check out the size chart to find which shirt will fit you best. We offer custom crewneck t-shirts with a round neckline as well as custom v-neck t-shirts.

Choose a Color

Browse GotPrint’s Amazon storefront to see our wide variety of t-shirt customization options: black, blue, heather gray, navy, red, white, charcoal, and natural. What shirt color you should order depends on your design. Any layout with a lot of light colors or white elements should be printed on a darker fabric, while black or other dark colors should be printed on a light-colored fabric. If this t-shirt is for a company, whether it’s a promotional giveaway, uniform, or employee swag, then it should match your business branding.

Click “Customize Now”

Maybe you’re just printing your company logo on a shirt. Or you have a cute design for your matching family shirts ready to go. You can upload your pre-made design after you follow the customization prompt. Make sure your file is in RGB color mode with a 350 DPI. Once you’ve uploaded the file, you can adjust it within the design space at the center of the shirt. You have plenty of options for placing your design on the shirt. Decorate just the front, just the back, or both. You can also use the online shirt designer to add text to your design.  

If you don’t have a file ready to go, then use the custom text tool to create a funny graphic t-shirt, monogrammed shirts, or a call to action. Choose from several font options and 40 different text colors.  

When you design t-shirts, make sure the colors have enough contrast to be visible against the shirt fabric. Any text should use clear and bold typography in a large font size. People shouldn’t have to squint to read your personalized message.

What to Use Custom Shirts For

Your design will depend on what purpose your customized t-shirts serve. In many cases, your branding should be the focus. A promotional shirt to wear at events like conventions and trade shows should make it clear what your company is. A uniform shirt should feature your logo or company name and make it clear that whoever is wearing it is an employee. Whatever your company’s visual branding is, the shirt design should match that aesthetic. A hardcore and edgy brand likely won’t use a bright pink shirt, just like a hyperfeminine brand probably won’t use dark colors.  

For personal use, a shirt should share an obvious message. Even if you’re just ordering matching shirts for a family vacation, bachelorette party, or family reunions, the design or words should clearly convey what you’re celebrating. You can also give a funny shirt as a Christmas gift, a custom birthday present, or a unique Valentine’s Day gift. Whether your design is funny or sentimental, someone is sure to love their one-of-a-kind shirt as a unique personalized gift.

Why Create Customized Shirts with GotPrint? 

When you create a custom shirt with GotPrint, you’ll receive a high-quality shirt that you will be happy to wear. Most of our super soft tshirts are made with 100% Combed Ring-Spun Cotton. They are also pre-shrunk and machine washable, so cleaning is simple. And our printing methods ensure your design will look brand new for a long time. Direct-to-garment printing, or DTG printing, uses full color printing to transfer graphics directly onto the fabric. This results in a highly pigmented, long-lasting design. Your custom tshirt with picture designs or text will look detailed and high-end. Ordering a custom t-shirt from Amazon guarantees a shirt you can wear for years to come.
