Find out how you can have a self-designed T-shirt printed and produced - from creative ideas to perfect realisation!
Why have a customised T-shirt printed?
A customised T-shirt is not just a piece of clothing, it's a statement. Whether for your own label, a company or an event - the possibilities for putting your design on a T-shirt are almost limitless. But before you start production, there are a few decisions to make: from the cut to the fabric to the right printing technique.
The right fit: regular, boxy or relaxed fit?
Die Wahl des T-Shirt-Schnitts ist entscheidend, denn der Fit beeinflusst nicht nur das Aussehen, sondern auch das Tragegefühl. Hier sind die gängigsten Optionen:
Regular fit
The classic cut that is neither too tight nor too loose. Regular fit T-shirts are versatile and suitable for almost every target group.
Boxy fit
This cut is squarer and shorter than the regular fit. Boxy T-shirts give a modern and trendy look, particularly popular in streetwear.
Relaxed Fit
The relaxed fit is ideal for a casual and comfortable look. It offers more freedom of movement and is perfect for casual wear.
💡 Tip: Think about the target group of your design. Should it look sporty, elegant or urban? The right fit makes all the difference.

Fabric selection: Focus on sustainability and quality
The fabric of a T-shirt not only influences the feel, but also the durability and environmental aspect.
Pure cotton
A timeless classic and often the best choice from a sustainability perspective. Cotton is breathable, comfortable to wear and hard-wearing. Organic cotton or recycled cotton are particularly sustainable options.
Grammages (GSM)
The thickness of the fabric is given in grams per square metre (gsm).
160 gsm: Lightweight and ideal for summer or sporting purposes.
200 gsm: Medium weight, perfect for everyday T-shirts.
350 gsm: Heavy, robust and suitable for luxurious or durable designs.
💡 Tip: Lightweight fabrics are better suited to hot temperatures, while heavy fabrics have a higher quality appearance and are suitable for embroidery.
Different printing techniques and embroideries
The next important step is choosing the right finishing technique for your T-shirt. Here are some options:
Screen Printing
Ideal for large quantities, delivers vibrant colours and long-lasting quality. Perfect for simple, flat designs.
Digital Printing (DTG)
Flexible and suitable for small print runs or detailed designs. The print has a soft feel and is ideal for photorealistic designs.
Flex and flock printing
Offers a glossy or velvety look, especially for logos or lettering.
Embroidery
If you are looking for a particularly high-quality finish, embroidery is the right choice. Embroidery gives T-shirts a classy and professional look.
💡 Tip: If you are looking for a long-lasting solution, screen printing or embroidery is the best choice. Digital printing is more suitable for complex designs with colour gradients.
