Ordering
Hey, weâre all about making your moment shine without breaking the bank! Hereâs the scoop on what shapes the price of your BlueCotton order. Itâs like a recipe: tweak the ingredients, and the flavor (aka price) changes!
- One Design, One Order: All shirts with the same exact design count as one order.
- Garment: Brand and style matterâGildan, Jerzees, and Hanes keep it wallet-friendly, with faves like Gildan 5000 and Jerzees 29M for top value. White shirts are cheaper than colors. Extended sizes (2XL and up)? Add $2/shirt and up.
- Quantity Magic: The more you order, the lower the price per teeâbulk discounts are your friend!
- Inks & Locations: Fewer ink colors and fewer locations (front, back, sleeves, etc.) = lower cost. More colors or locations? Price ticks up a bit.
- Mixing Shirt Colors: Want the same design on different shirt colors? Youâll still snag that bulk discount! Just design it in our Design Studio, add your first color and quantity to the cart, then hit âAdd to another garmentâ to switch colors or styles. Repeat âtil your cartâs fullâdiscount applies automatically!
- Different Designs: Ordering multiple designs? Each oneâs its own order, so a batch of 100 shirts with four designs (25 each) gets priced at 25 per design, not 100 total.
How to Get a Quote? [VIDEO INCLUDED]

Pop in your quantity, decoration method, decoration colors for front and back, then hit âBrowse Productsââyouâll see costs for white and colored shirts across styles site wide.

At BlueCotton, we understand it can be difficult selecting a t-shirt style that's right for your group. To help, we've included fit classifications for classic, relaxed, and semi-fitted to give you as much information possible to make the best choice!
Classic Fit
The classic fit t-shirt is your go-to for timeless comfort and style that never goes out of fashion. Crafted with a relaxed, straight-cut silhouette, these tees offer a perfect balanceânot too tight, not too looseâmaking them flattering choices for everyone. Expect short sleeves that hit just right at the mid-bicep and a sturdy crew neck (or V-neck) with a ribbed collar that holds its shape wash after wash. Popular classic fit styles include the Gildan 5000, Jerzees 29m, and the Port & Company PC55.
Relaxed Fit
The relaxed fit t-shirt is all about laid-back feel in ultimate comfort. This teeâs got a roomy, easygoing cutâwider through the chest and waist for a slightly boxy, no-fuss silhouette that gives you all the space you need to move. The short sleeves are a bit longer, grazing closer to the elbow, and it rocks a classic crew neck (or V-neck if you prefer) with a tough ribbed collar that keeps it sharp. Popular relaxed fit styles include the Comfort Colors 1717, Bella + Canvas 7502, and the Carhartt Pocket Tee.
Semi-Fitted
The semi-fitted t-shirt brings a perfect mix of style and comfort. This tee hugs your frame just right with a slightly tapered chest and waist, giving you a modern, flattering silhouette thatâs snugger than our classic fit but never as tight as a slim cut.

Ready to mark your moment with some screen printing magic? Our Bowling Green, KY crewâscreen printing since 1991âloves turning your vision into a wearable masterpiece. Hereâs everything you need to know about how it works, where we print, how big it gets, and adding names or numbers!
How We Screen PrintâCraft Meets Cool!
Picture this: we create a stencil of your design on fine mesh screens. This is how we do it. We coat the screen with emulsion, digitally print your image on the emulsion, expose it with light, then blast out the unexposed bits with waterâbam, a stencilâs born! Each color requires its own screen. We use a squeegee to print the ink onto your shirt. After printing all the colors, it takes a quick trip through a high-heat dryer, and voilĂ âa custom tee ready to shine!.jpg)

How Big Can It Get?
Weâve got room to playâour max imprint size is 13 inches wide by 15 inches tall on both the front and back. Heads-up: thatâs bigger than some shirts (especially Small and Medium). Your design will be printed at the same size on all shirt sizes. If your order includes youth sizes we scale your design down to fit.
Centered? Oh Yeah! Your designâs getting the VIP treatmentâour team makes sure itâs perfectly centered, even if it looks a little off in the Design Studio. Want to double-check? Drop a note in the âSpecial Instructionsâ box at checkout, and weâll lock it in before the presses roll.
Sleeve Prints? You Bet! Use the "Rotate" tool at the bottom right of the Design Studio to add a sleeve print in the Design Studioâkeep it simple at 3.25" x 3.25" with up to two colors. For long sleeves, we can stretch it up to 15", depending on sleeve length and cuff width. Call us at 800-536-1435 or tshirts@bluecotton.comâweâll see if we can make it work! (Sorry, no wraparound sleeve designsâgotta keep it flat on one side.)
Names & NumbersâPersonalize It! Want to shout out your crew? Use the âNames and Numbersâ feature in the Design Studio. Weâll craft individual names and numbers in your chosen font and one of 16 awesome colors.
Matching Colors? Weâve Got You! Garments and ink can look a little different on a monitor, but weâre pros at syncing âem up. Tell us in the âSpecial Instructionsâ box (under Order Details after sizes/quantities) what you want to match and weâll tweak it in production.
Ready to stitch your moment into something unforgettable? Hereâs the scoop on how it all goes down, from process to perfection!
Our embroidery process starts with your design getting digitized. Think of digitizing like translating your artwork into a stitch-by-stitch playbook. Our team converts that 2D image into a file our embroidery machines can read. Your garment gets hooped up tight, and the machine sews it out in a perfect color sequence. .jpg)
.jpg)
How large can we sew a design? Size depends on what youâre stitching! Here are our recommendations for standard embroidery sizes:
- Right or Left Chest (Pocket Area) - 3½" wide x 2½" tall
- Hats - 3½" wide x 2Ÿ" tall
- Visors - 3½" wide x 1½" tall
- Text should be at least Âź" tall to keep it legible
What Designs Work Best? Simple is king for embroidery! Bold lines, solid colors, and text at least Âź" tall pop the cleanest. Logos or punchy words work best. Stay away from tiny details, gradients, shading, or photos.
How Do We Match Thread Colors? With 44 thread colors in our toolkit, weâve got plenty to play with. Unlike screen printingâs infinite ink mixes, there are set thread color. Our artists will pick the closest thread match to your design. If itâs a big leap from your vision, weâll reach out with a proof to approve first.
From digitizing to stitching, weâre all about bringing your design to life!
Hey, ready to take your tee game to the next level? Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is the hot new kid on the custom apparel block and BlueCotton is pumped to bring this magic to your moments! Itâs a slick digital process thatâs all about vibrant colors and wild versatility. While screen printing is king at BlueCotton, we use DTF for select small orders (think 10 or less) with lots of colors. Hereâs the lowdown on how it works, where it lands, and how to make it yours:
How We Do DTFâTech Meets Wow! Picture this: we print your design onto a special film with water-based inks, then transfer it to your shirt ensuring your design is soft, smooth, and stretchy! DTF is our go to when smaller orders have dozens of colors or if your design's detail will lose integrity in screen printing. We've put our own twist on the process perfecting the final product for our customers!.jpg)

How Big Can It Get? Weâre talking up to 13â wide by 15â tallâour max print area for front or back, just like screen printing. Itâs big enough to make a statement but sized right for most shirts (watch those Small/Medium fits!). Want it elsewhere? Weâve got optionsâkeep reading!
Where Can We Print It? Front, back, sleevesâyou name it! DTF works beautifully on cotton, poly, blends, even nylon or leatherâway more than DTGâs cotton-only option. Sleeve prints? Aim for 3.25â x 3.25â (or up to 15â on long sleeves, depending on the cuff). No wraparounds, though.
What Designs Work Best? Go wildâDTF loves full-color chaos! Photos, gradients, tiny detailsâit handles âem all with no color limits, unlike screen printingâs stencil. Keep text at least Âźâ tall for clarityâsmall stuff can get lost in the transfer.
How Do Colors Pop? With no color cap, we match your vision as close as the digital rainbow allows. Want a specific shade? Drop a Pantone code or note in the âSpecial Instructionsâ box (left toolbar in the Design Studio)âweâll tweak it âtil it sings!
Our DTF prints are tough and stretch without cracking. Got a crazy idea? Call us at 800-536-1435 or email tshirts@bluecotton.comâour teamâs ready to make it happen.

Fundraising Campaigns

At BlueCotton we know custom apparel is one of the best ways to raise money for your group, organization, or cause. We've faciliated thousands of campaigns for customers over the years and are excited to help you! You create your design, select your garment, then work with our Customer Service team to set the sale price and length of the campaign. You get the word out about the fundraiser and we'll do the rest!
There is no charge to set up your fundraising campaign! Simply create or send us your design, work with our customer service team on the length of the fundraiser, profit margin, and shipping details, and we'll give you a link to your fundraiser to share with your supporters!
We work with the organizer of the fundraising campaign on details of the design and garment. A price and minimum order quantity is provided to the organizer who then adds a profit margin to the sale price. Our services for setting up the campaign are free of charge for up to four different items. Design and decoration method for each item can be the same or different.
Once you've created your design(s). Reach out to our Customer Service team by calling 800-536-1435 with the following information:
1.Date to launch fundraising campaign
2. Date you need custom items in hand.
3. Garment style, color, and size range you'd like to offer.
4. Estimate of how many items you believe will sell.
5. Shipping method - will these ship to each individual or all together to the organizer for distribution
6. Name and address of the person who shoud receive the proceeds check.
From there, we'll confirm the fundraising campaign dates and give you a price for the garments so you can provide us with your final sale price.
Once the link is live we'll share it with you so you can share it with your supporters. The more people the better so you can make the most money!

There are times when fundraising campaigns offer many different options. For instance, a school sports team may want to sell spirit wear to their family and fans including different style garments for men, women and children. We work with customers to set up a separate landing page for these temporary stores where their supporters can shop. There is a small set up fee for these larger stores of $150. This covers up to 5 different designs and 7 types of garments.
We know that your custom apparel will Mark the moment for so many and LOVE sending checks to our fundraising organizers! Once the ordering window closes and the order is produced and shipped, BlueCotton will send a check to the address provided by the organizer.
We do not allow the use of coupon codes for fundraising campaign purchases.
âLess is more! Too many options can actually decrease the number of sales you receive. Be strategic in the number of designs and options you present. Work with our team to keep it simple!
âShorter timelines work better! We see the most sales soon after a campaign launches and right before it ends. We recommend a timeline of no more than 2 weeks for your supporters to purchase items. This creates urgency and gets money to your organization faster!
âShare, share, share! We can create the most beautiful fundraising campaign but it doesn't work if no one sees it! Be sure to share the link, tell as many people as possible, and remind them of deadlines!
