Buyer’s Guide

Custom Shirt Manufacturers: 101 Guide for Start-Up Brands

If you're starting a new business, it's important to have the right clothing to represent your brand. Custom shirts are a great way to do this, but with so many manufacturers and options out there, it can be tough to decide which one is right for your needs. Custom shirt manufacturers offer a variety of services, from design and printing to custom cuts and fabric options. When choosing a custom shirt manufacturer, there are some factors to consider to make sure you're getting the best possible product for your money. In this article, we'll discuss everything you need to know about finding and working with a custom shirt manufacturer. We'll also provide a list of fabric options and considerations to keep in mind when ordering custom shirts for your business. So, let's get started!

1. The Basics of Custom Shirts

Custom shirts are simply shirts that are made to order according to the specifications of the customer. This means that the customer gets to choose everything from the design and style of the shirt to the fabric and even the color.

Custom shirt manufacturers usually have a wide range of fabrics and colors to choose from, so customers can be sure to find something that they like. If they’re unsure of what they want, they can always ask for help from the manufacturer’s team of experts.

Custom shirts are the perfect way to show off anyone’s personality and style. They can be worn for any occasion, whether it’s a casual night out or a more formal event. And because they’re made to order, anyone can be sure that no one else will have the same shirt as them!

2. Different Types of Shirts

Custom blank shirt manufacturers often offer a wide range of shirt options to choose from. Here are some of the most popular types of shirts:

Polo shirts

Polo shirts are a type of shirt that has a collar and typically two or three buttons at the neck. They are usually made from cotton or a synthetic blend and can be worn both casually and formally.

Button Down Shirts

Button-down shirts are a type of shirt that has a collar and buttons down the front. Button-down shirts can be made from a variety of materials, including cotton, linen, and silk. They are typically worn in more formal settings.

T-Shirts

T-shirts are a type of shirt that has a round neckline and no collar. They are usually made from cotton or a synthetic blend and can be worn both as casual wear and as formal wear.

Tank Tops

Tank tops are a type of shirt that has no sleeves and a low neckline. They are usually made from a lightweight fabric such as cotton or linen. Tank tops are often worn in warm weather or during physical activity.

Henley Shirts

Henley shirts are a type of shirt that has a button placket at the neckline. They are typically made from cotton or linen and can be worn both casually and formally.

These are just a few of the different types of shirts that custom shirt manufacturers can make. When choosing a custom shirt supplier, be sure to ask about the different types of shirts they offer to ensure you find the perfect shirt for your needs.

3. Fabric Options and Considerations for Custom Shirt

When it comes to custom shirts, the fabric you choose is just as important as the cut and style. The type of fabric you select will determine how your shirt looks and feels, so it’s important to take the time to find the right option for you. Here are a few fabric options and considerations to keep in mind when customizing your shirt.

Cotton

Cotton is the most popular fabric choice for custom shirts. It’s a natural fiber that breathes well, so it’s ideal for warm weather. Cotton is also easy to care for, making it a low-maintenance option.

Linen

Linen is a natural fiber that’s similar to cotton. It’s light and airy, making it a good choice for warm weather. Linen is also more durable than cotton, so it’s a good option if you’re looking for a shirt that will last.

Silk

Silk is a luxurious fabric that’s perfect for special occasions. It’s smooth and elegant, making it a great choice for a custom shirt. Keep in mind that silk is a delicate fabric, so it may require special care.

Wool

Wool is a warm, durable fabric that’s perfect for cold weather. It’s also a natural fiber, so it’s a good choice if you’re looking for an eco-friendly option. Keep in mind that wool can be scratchy, so it may not be the best choice if you have sensitive skin.

Synthetic Fabrics

Synthetic fabrics, like polyester and nylon, are made from petroleum products. They’re usually less expensive than natural fibers, but they’re not as breathable. Synthetic fabrics are also more likely to pill and fade over time.

These are just a few of the many fabric options available for custom shirts. When choosing a fabric, it’s important to consider your budget and your personal preferences. With so many options available, you’re sure to find the perfect fabric for your needs.

4. Embellishment and Surface Decoration Options

There are a variety of ways to add embellishments and surface decoration to custom shirts. Here are some of the most popular methods:

Screen Printing

One of the most common methods for custom shirt printing is screen printing. This involves creating a stencil (or “screen”) and using it to apply ink to the fabric. Screen printing is best suited for large orders, as the setup process can be time-consuming and costly.

Embroidery

Embroidery is a classic method of surface decoration for custom shirts. It involves stitching a design onto the fabric using thread. This is a great option for designs that are simple and elegant.

Dye Sublimation

Another method of surface decoration for custom shirts is dye sublimation. This process uses a special printer to apply a dye to the fabric. The dye is then heated, causing it to change into a gas that penetrates the fabric.

These are just a few of the many methods that can be used to add embellishments and surface decoration to custom shirts. The best way to decide which method is right for your design is to consult with a custom shirt manufacturer. They will be able to advise you on the best way to achieve the look you want.

5. How To Choose a Shirt for Different Body Figures

Choosing the right shirt is important because it accentuates the right features and downplays the wrong ones. The wrong shirt can make anyone look frumpy, wimpy, and even sloppy. The right shirt, on the other hand, can make anyone look their best.

There are different types of shirts for different body figures. Here are some tips on how to choose a shirt for your body type:

Different Body Figures
Type Features
Pear Shaped Body have shoulders and busts that are narrower than their hips
Rectangle Shaped Body have shoulders, busts, and hips that are about the same width
Inverted Triangle Shaped Body have shoulders and busts that are larger than their hips
Hourglass Shaped Body have shoulders and busts that are larger than their narrow hips
Round Shaped Body have a bust that is larger than the rest of their body, their hips are narrow, and their midsection is fuller

Pear Shaped Body

If anyone has a pear-shaped body, they will have shoulders and busts that are narrower than their hips. They also have a defined waist. To flatter this body type, choose shirts that are A-line or empire cut. These shirts will accentuate the shoulders and minimize the hips.

Rectangle Shaped Body

If anyone has a rectangle-shaped body, they will have shoulders, busts, and hips that are about the same width. They also have a less defined waist. To flatter this body type, choose shirts like the ones that are fitted at the waist. These shirts will help to create the illusion of a more defined waist.

Inverted Triangle Shaped Body

If anyone has an inverted triangle-shaped body, they will have shoulders and busts that are larger than their hips. To flatter this body type, choose shirts that are V-neck or scoop neck. These shirts will help to balance out the shoulders and hips.

Hourglass Shaped Body

If anyone has an hourglass-shaped body, they will have shoulders and busts that are larger than their narrow hips. They also have a defined waist. To flatter this body type, choose shirts that are fitted at the waist. These shirts will help to accentuate the waist and show off the curves.

Round Shaped Body

If anyone has a round-shaped body, they will have a bust that is larger than the rest of their body, their hips are narrow, and their midsection is fuller. To flatter this body type, choose shirts that have vertical details. These shirts will help to elongate the body and make it look slimmer.

These are just a few tips on how to choose a shirt for any body type. There are many different types of shirts out there, so it is important to find one that flatters your figure. Custom dress shirt manufacturers can help you find the perfect shirt for any body type.

10. Common Mistakes Before Launching Your Brand

When you’re finally ready to take your custom shirt business idea and turn it into a reality, it’s tempting to just “go for it” without much planning. However, rushing into things can lead to some pretty serious mistakes that could have easily been avoided with a bit of forethought.

To help you get started on the right foot, here are 5 mistakes to avoid before launching your custom shirt brand.

Not Defining Your Target Market

One of the most common mistakes custom shirt businesses make is failing to define their target market. Without knowing who your target market is, it’s impossible to create a brand that resonates with them.

To avoid this mistake, take the time to research your target market and determine what they want and need from a custom shirt brand. Once you have a good understanding of your target market, you can start creating custom shirts that appeal to them.

Not Creating a Unique Selling Proposition

Another mistake custom shirt businesses make is forgetting to create a unique selling proposition (USP). A unique selling proposition is what separates your brand from the competition and tells your target market why they should buy from you.

To create a strong USP, start by identifying your unique selling points. What makes your custom shirts better than the competition? Once you know your USP, make sure it’s prominently featured on your website and in all of your marketing materials.

Not Investing in High-Quality Shirt Designs

When it comes to custom shirts, design is everything. If your shirt designs are poor quality, they will reflect poorly on your brand as a whole. To avoid this mistake, invest in high-quality custom shirt designs from the start. Work with a professional designer to create custom shirt designs that accurately represent your brand and appeal to your target market.

Not Creating a Professional Website

Your website is often the first impression potential customers will have of your brand. If your website is poorly designed or doesn’t function properly, it will reflect badly on your custom shirt business.

To avoid this mistake, take the time to create a professional website for your custom shirt business. Your website should be well-designed and easy to navigate, with clear calls to action that encourage visitors to buy your custom shirts.

Not Pricing Your Shirts Competitively

Another mistake custom shirt businesses make is failing to price their shirts competitively. If your custom shirts are too expensive, potential customers will be turned off. On the other hand, if your custom shirts are priced too low, people will question the quality of your product.

To avoid this mistake, do some research to find out what the competition is charging for their custom shirts. Then, price your custom shirts accordingly.

Launching a custom shirt business is a big undertaking, but it’s definitely doable if you avoid these common mistakes. By taking the time to plan and prepare before launching your brand, you’ll be setting yourself up for success.
