Baby & Toddler Shirts
We offer baby and toddler t-shirts and bodysuits for your group. We print these with a digital process so they are priced differently. You get to take advantage of the quantity pricing of the regular t-shirts in your order, but the base price of the baby and toddler shirts is higher due to the decoration process.

Choosing the Correct Garment Size
It’s a Challenge
“What shirt size do you want to order?” Best advice we have is ask them! Guessing sizes is a minefield. Every group is different.
Size Sample Kit
For the B110 100% Cotton Short Sleeve T-shirt we have a size sample kit you can order. It comes with a coupon you can apply to your custom t-shirt order.
Size Variation
Not all medium-sized shirts are the same. Garment types (even the same vendor!) are often cut differently. In general all garments are cut differently. Please review the garment detail pages for sizing information. Smaller shirts and features like zippers, v-necks and scoop necks can affect the overall imprint size for all your shirts.
Order Extras
Ordering extra shirts is the best thing you can do to solve size issues. After the shirts arrive, some people change the size they need. Having a few backup shirts enables you to keep those people happy. As new people join the group, it’s a great idea to welcome them with a t-shirt.
Low Custom T-Shirt Pricing
Mixing Garments Types
Does everyone want something different? We can help with that! As long as they can all be printed with the same design & ink color(s), you can mix garment types like sweatshirts, ladies’ shirts, and hoodies with your T-Shirts. Price will vary per garment type, but the total quantity determines the price break!Reorders
Reorders are priced based on quantity. It’s a good idea to get some extras at the better price break. If you need a smaller number of shirts after your first order, they will cost significantly more.How is pricing determined?

Decoration Methods
Different decoration methods
We carefully select the most suitable and cost-effective decoration method for your order, ensuring the best results for your apparel. Please note that if you place a reorder, the decoration method may change depending on the garment type and order quantity. If you have a preference for a specific decoration method, let us know—this may affect the pricing.
Decoration colors – Inks and threads
Some inks require specific processes. Inks like Glow in the Dark, Metallic Gold and Silver, Fluorescent Pink, Neons, and Glitters all require Screen printing. These inks require a minimum order of around 20-40 garments. Additional charges of .50-1.00 per shirt may apply. We will reach out to you to discuss this since our online ordering system does not deal with this.
Screen printing is the Best Choice for larger custom t-shirt orders since larger orders usually cost significantly less when screen printed. A screen-printed design will last as long as the garment—even when worn by an active person. Read our article on the screen vs digital printing See the extensive charts and description of the decoration process. Learn all about Halftones and how we use them in screen printing.
Digital Printing is good for shirt orders under 10 pcs. It is a computer-controlled printing process that applies special ink to the fabric. While not as durable as screen printing, digital print has an advantage: it costs the same regardless of the number of ink colors used in a design. This process is perfect for small quantity orders and single shirt orders. Digital printing cannot reproduce some specialty inks like Glow or Glitter.
