Imagine wearing a shirt with your own design—cool, right? The demand is growing fast, and experts say the custom T-shirt market will hit USD 17 billion by 2032.

Steps to Turn a Digital File into a T-Shirt

Step 1: Prepare Your Digital Design

Why Your File Matters

Your design is the star of the show. A good digital file means your T-shirt will look sharp and clear. So, let’s make it perfect!

Pick the Best File Type

Use vector files like AI, EPS, or PDF because they stay clear no matter how big you make them. If you use pictures like PNG, PSD, or TIF, make sure they’re high resolution—300 DPI is best. Learn more about file types on our blog: How to Design a Custom T-Shirt.

Design Made Easy

Keep your design simple with bold colors and big text. Tools like Canva or Adobe Express are great if you’re new to this. Always save with a transparent background so there’s no weird white box on your shirt. For tips, see How Can I Turn My Artwork into a Design for T-Shirts?.

Step 2: Choose the Right Printing Method

Why Printing Matters

The way you print your design changes how it looks and how much it costs. Let’s look at the options!

Your Printing Choices

  • Screen Printing: Great for big orders (50+ shirts). It’s cheap for lots of shirts and lasts long. Perfect for simple designs! Check out Screen Print T-Shirts DIY Pro Tips.
  • Direct-to-Garment (DTG): Awesome for small orders or colorful designs. It prints ink right onto the shirt. Learn more at What Is Digital Printing on T-Shirts?.
  • Direct-to-Film (DTF): New and works on many fabrics. It’s bright and tough!
  • Heat Transfer: Easy for quick projects at home, but it might not last as long.

ASSSOO Helps You Choose

At ASSSOO APPAREL, we offer all these methods. Our team can pick the best one for you. See our options at Best T-Shirt Printing Methods 2025.

Step 3: Select Your T-Shirt Style and Fabric

Why Fabric and Style Are Key

The shirt you pick changes how your design feels and looks. Let’s find the right one!

Fabric Options

Cotton is soft and comfy. Polyester is strong and doesn’t wrinkle. Blends mix both. Want the best? Check our T-shirt collection or Top Fabrics for Custom T-Shirts.

Styles to Match Your Vibe

Pick crew necks for a classic look or V-necks for something trendy. We’ve got over 300 styles, like tank tops, hoodies, and even pants. Find yours at our shop.
