Short Sleeve T-Shirts
There are plenty of reasons why our custom short-sleeve t-shirts are one of our most popular items. For starters, they offer affordability, versatility and convenience. They can be custom printed or embroidered for groups or events of any size. You can wear our custom short sleeve tees on their own in warm weather or add custom logo outerwear too, so these customizable t-shirts can be layered without losing the artwork or logo. Why not design your own shirt? Create a design for campers or students to keep as memorabilia, or print your shirt design art on apparel to sell in-store. That’s just the beginning of what you can do with custom short-sleeve t-shirts.

How do I make custom short sleeve t-shirts?
Pick the kind of tee you want to customize—short sleeve or long sleeve, v-neck or crew, cotton or a cotton/poly blend. Choose your color, sizes, and how many you need. When you’re ready, click “start designing” and choose between screen printing or embroidery. You’ll land in our Design Studio where you can upload your own design, add clip art and text, or use one of our design templates. Once you’re happy with it, save your design or share it with your crew before sending it off to print.
Can I create my own unique design for a custom short sleeve t-shirt?
Hey, got some killer art ready to mark your moment? Uploading it into our Design Studio is a snap, and our crew is here to make it pop on your garment! Here’s the scoop on getting it just right:
Step 1: Bring Your A-Game! Head to the Design Studio, hit “Upload Image” on the left-hand toolbar, and drop in your masterpiece. We’re talking your own logo, doodle, or photo.
Step 2: Resolution Rocks! Aim for 300 DPI or higher—crisp is king! Size it to print—like 10” wide x 11” high if that’s your plan—and keep it at 300 DPI. Too small or fuzzy? We use the size you design so if it looks too small or fuzzy on your screen, that’s how it will look on the shirt. Check out our blog post about uploaded images for the full lowdown! Still struggling? Check out our free design services for assistance.
Step 3: File Types We Love! We play nice with these: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .pdf, .ai, .eps, .psd, .tiff.
Pro Tip: Test it out—upload, preview, and tweak! If it’s not popping like you dreamed, tweak the size or resolution, or call us at 800-536-1435 or tshirts@bluecotton.com. Our art team is ready to jump in and polish it up!
How much does it cost to print t-shirts?
Hey, we’re all about making your moment shine without breaking the bank! Here’s the scoop on what shapes the price of your BlueCotton order. It’s 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 matter—Gildan, Jerzees, and Hanes keep it wallet-friendly, with faves like Gildan heavy cotton t-shirt and Jerzees 29M heavyweight blend tee 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 tee—bulk 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? You’ll still snag that bulk discount! Just design it in our Design Studio , add your first color and quantity to the cart, then hit “Add to another garment” to switch colors or styles. Repeat ‘til your cart’s full—discount applies automatically!
- Different Designs: Ordering multiple designs? Each one’s its own order, so a batch of 100 shirts with four designs (25 each) gets priced at 25 per design, not 100 total.
