I have a name list to add to my design, how do I add the names?
July 12, 2012
We have many designs that can include name lists. It adds a unique personal touch for any family reunion, graduating class, teams and crews.
In the Custom T-shirt Designer, you should see the design on the left and the design elements on the right.
Choose the first “Name” element which should bring you to the edit text window. In the text box on the left, type in the name you want. Press the preview button in the bottom left corner to see you changes on the design. Once the preview window is updated, adjust positioning for the name appropriately.
Font sizes and colors can be manipulated in the sections to the right of the preview window. If you want help in designing your t-shirt, please don’t hesitate to call in and work with one of the customer representatives.
Don’t worry about getting everything exactly centered and aligned. This is just a rough draft so as long as all the names are spelled correctly, one of our professional artists will make any necessary final adjustments.
If you have more names than space on the shirt, please email the list to questions@classb.com and one of the representatives will be in touch. We will be more than happy to do the heavy lifting for you.

Online Garment Color Swatches
September 29, 2011
The color swatches shown on our web site represent our best effort to show you what color your shirts are going to be when you receive them. However, there are a number of factors influencing the accuracy of these swatches. Generally, you can trust the name of the color and be confident that your garments will be the color you expect them to be.
It’s also good to be aware of factors that affect fabric colors:
These shifts can make a Royal Blue fabric look purple, teal, navy blue, and lilac!
The best thing to do is calibrate your monitor using images that show colors that the human brain is best at distinguishing like skin tones and foods. Color calibration is typically done through the ” Monitor” or ” Display” Control Panel or Preference Panel.
Dye Variation
Each “batch” of t-shirts are dyed with a hand-mixed dye. This means that the “red” shirts you order this year may be a slightly different shade of “red” than last year.Garment Care
Because each person will care for their garment in different ways, the shirts in your order may only match in color when they first come out of the box. Harsh detergents, hot water, and high heat dryers can all serve to fade a t-shirt prematurely. If you’re taking a group picture in your garments, take this picture before you send the shirts home with each person! You should also accept that your computer screen has different settings than our computers screen. For example, depending on your computer screen, some colors can seem like completely different colors! In the example below, the SAME color swatch has been shifted about 15% in hue and brightness in different combinations.

September 29, 2011
For new embroidery designs we require two separate proofs before we can begin production. The first proof contains the “layout” of your order. In this proof you will view your design as a computer generated graphic and check for spelling, colors, and fonts. Once we receive your approval on the layout, we will send your design to our embroidery department to be “digitized” and sewn on fabric.
Within 3-5 working days we will send you the final embroidery proof for your order containing a scan of your design sewn on fabric. In this proof you can view the detail of the stitching in your embroidered design and make any final tweaks before your approval.
Once we receive your approval for the sewn-out proof, we’ll be able to get started on production of your order!

Screen printing imprint sizes
September 29, 2011
For screen printed shirt orders, there are two basic imprint sizes to choose from, either a crest size design or a full size design. There is no extra charge for a full size design and there is no price difference between a design with a lot of ink coverage or a little ink coverage. The design for your shirts is sized to fit the smallest print area available (usually the smallest garment) on your order.
Crest size designs (also called ” left chest” designs) always fit inside of a 4″ by 4″ area. Circular designs will normally be sized slightly smaller than the maximum 4″ diameter for the best appearance on the shirt.

Full size design
A full size design will be the maximum size for the smallest size shirts you have ordered. Find the smallest shirt size in the table below and the corresponding imprint size is the maximum allowed. Circular designs will be printed slightly smaller than the maximum size for the best appearance on the shirt. Below are links to the imprint sizes for some common garments, please check each garment page for accurate imprint information.Imprint Size links for Popular Garments
Gildan 100% Cotton T-shirts, item B110 Gildan 50/50 Hooded Sweatshirts, Item B176 Gildan 50/50 Crewneck Sweatshirts, Item B175 You may also provide us with a specific design size as long as it isn’t larger than the maximum allowed for the smallest size of shirts you have ordered.Relative design size
Your design will stay the same size across all the shirts you order. If you order a full range of shirt sizes from youth smalls to adult XXLs, the design size will be the same 9.5″ wide by 11″ tall size on each different size shirt. This means that the design will look “larger” on the smallest shirts and “smaller” on the largest shirts. On the average sized shirts, the design will look the “right” size. The graphics below approximate the visual effect this will have. Youth Small – – Youth Large – Adult Medium – – Adult XL – – – Adult XXXLI can’t center the design on the shirt, will it get printed off center?
July 29, 2011
Our artists will center, straighten, and make any changes you request, before we print your garments. We normally make certain changes automatically, such as making sure a design is properly aligned on a garment.
Your order must be placed before our artists work on the design, you will then be able to view and approve the design.
