The Process of Making Custom Company Apparel with Craft Tee

Understanding Your Company’s Brand Vision

Creating impactful custom company apparel will probably require more than a logo, although that's great too. You may need to start with a deep understanding of your brand’s vision. This involves more than just knowing your logo or company colors (at least, it does if you want to print something beyond team uniforms with your logo); You can go much deeper and try to capture the essence of what your brand stands for, its mission, values, and the message you want to convey to your audience.

 

But whether you’re aiming to boost team unity, increase brand visibility, or create memorable merchandise for events, our custom printing process allows you to tailor our apparel options to your precise needs.

Choosing the Perfect Apparel for Your Needs

Selecting the right apparel is crucial in ensuring that your custom clothing not only looks great but also serves its intended purpose effectively. At Craft Tee, we offer a wide range of options, from classic t-shirts and hoodies to more specialized items like polos, totes, shorts, and pants. Each type of apparel has its own unique benefits depending on your needs. For example, t-shirts are a versatile and budget-friendly option for giveaways and promotions, while polos can add a touch of professionalism for corporate events or staff uniforms. 

Choosing the Color of Your Apparel

When it comes to choosing colors for your custom apparel, it's important to consider how they represent your brand and how they will look when printed. Depending on the apparel you select, our platform allows you to select from a wide range of colors, so you can match your brand's palette or create a striking contrast that makes your design pop. For instance, we offer 20+ colors for this premium crewneck T-shirt. Keep in mind that the color of the apparel itself can affect how your design appears—lighter colors are great for bold, dark designs, while darker apparel might be better suited for lighter, more vibrant images. And if you are printing text onto the shirt, be sure to choose an apparel color that will make that text very easy to read.

Customizing Your Apparel

Once you've selected the perfect apparel and color(s) from our wide range of options, the next step is where the real creativity begins: customization. At Craft Tee, we make it easy for you to personalize each part of your apparel to ensure it truly reflects your brand. After selecting your item, simply click "Customize" to start the process. You’ll be able to choose which areas of the apparel you want to customize—this could include the front, back, and, in many cases, the left and right sleeves. Each section can be personalized with your design(s), whether it's your logo, slogan, or a unique graphic that embodies your brand. Our intuitive design interface allows you to easily upload your artwork, adjust its placement, and preview the final look before proceeding.


As you upload and apply your designs to your apparel, our system will automatically check the quality of your images. If the resolution is too low, which could result in a blurred or pixelated print, we’ll notify you immediately. This allows you to make any necessary adjustments or upload a higher-quality image, ensuring that your final product looks as professional and polished as possible.


 This flexibility ensures that every piece of apparel not only looks cohesive but also aligns perfectly with your brand's identity. With our self-serve platform, you have full control over the design process. Once your design is complete, we’ll take care of the rest, crafting apparel that not only looks great but also embodies your brand’s identity every time it’s worn.


Please keep in mind that shirts customized through this process will be screen printed. Screen printing is an extremely durable and cost-effective printing method, especially for large orders. However, it does come with a limitation of three colors per design. If your design requires more than three colors, or if you need a different printing method, we encourage you to use our Request a Quote feature. This allows us to accommodate more complex designs and ensure your apparel meets your exact specifications.

Approval and Finalizing the Design

Once you’ve completed your customization, the next step is to submit your design for approval. At Craft Tee, we take quality seriously, which is why we require a 1-2 business day review period for all art submissions before production can begin. During this time, our team will carefully review your design to ensure it meets our quality standards and is ready for production. This review is crucial, as it allows us to catch any potential issues early on, ensuring the final product is flawless and saving time by cutting out mistakes before they can happen.


You’ll receive a confirmation email from us once your design has been approved, signaling that everything is in order and production can commence. For rush orders, it’s important to note that the timeline will only begin once the art submission has been approved, so please factor this review time into your planning.

Production: Crafting Your Custom Company Apparel with Craft Tee

After your design has been approved, it’s time for us to bring your vision to life. At Craft Tee, we pride ourselves on our production process, which is designed to ensure every piece of custom company apparel meets our high standards for quality and durability. Using state-of-the-art equipment and the best materials, we carefully craft each item according to your specifications. Our skilled production team pays attention to the details, from color accuracy to the precision of your design’s placement. Throughout the process, we maintain strict quality control measures to ensure that the final product not only looks great but also holds up well with regular wear. Once production is complete, your custom apparel is carefully packaged and prepared for delivery, ready to be worn and admired by your team or customers.
