Designing the perfect custom t-shirt goes beyond creativity — it takes precision. From low-resolution images and clashing colours to poor placement and the wrong file formats, small mistakes can lead to disappointing results. In this guide, we break down the most common t-shirt design errors and share expert tips on how to avoid them.

You’ll learn how to:

• Choose the right image resolution and file types

• Avoid design clutter with smart font and colour choices

• Properly scale and position artwork for all t-shirt sizes

• Select the best fabric and printing method for your design

• Use digital tools to preview and perfect your design before print

Whether you're a beginner or seasoned designer, these insights will help you create polished, professional-quality t-shirts every time.

Choosing the right fabric is essential for achieving vibrant, durable custom prints—especially in India’s diverse climate. Here's a quick guide to help you select the perfect material:

• Cotton – Breathable, soft, and perfect for everyday wear. Ideal for DTG and screen printing.

• Polyester – Durable and moisture-wicking, great for activewear. Best with sublimation and heat transfer.

• Poly-Cotton Blends – Combines the best of both worlds: comfort and strength. Ideal for uniforms and casual wear.

• Rayon & Bamboo – Premium, eco-friendly options with smooth textures. Ideal for high-end prints using digital textile methods.

Key Tip: Match your fabric to the right print technique to ensure your designs stay sharp, comfortable, and climate-appropriate. Whether it's a casual tee or performance gear, the right combo makes all the difference.

Creating your own custom hoodie is easier than you think—and way more fun. Whether you’re looking to express your personal style or launch a clothing line, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you get started.

1. Pick the Perfect Hoodie
Choose between pullover and zippered styles. For India’s climate, go for 300–350 GSM fabric for year-round comfort and durability. Look for quality features like double stitching and smooth cotton surfaces for the best printing results.

2. Plan Your Design
Select colours that contrast well with your hoodie base. Use Custprint’s ‘Create it’ tool to add text, upload images, or use clip art. Keep it high-resolution and position your design thoughtfully—centre chest, full back, or even sleeves.

3. Choose a Printing Method
For simple bulk designs, screen printing is affordable and long-lasting. For detailed, colourful artwork, go with DTG. Want something premium? Try embroidery or vinyl printing for that standout effect.

4. Finalise and Order
Upload your design, pick your size and hoodie colour, and preview everything before placing your order. Custprint’s team reviews your design and helps perfect it before it goes into production.

Pro Tip: Start with the Luxe Hoodie (₹899.00)—it’s beginner-friendly, print-ready, and perfect for testing your creativity.
