Custom t-shirts

Question 1

What size is the print area on custom t-shirts?

Accepted Answer

The size of the print area on our [custom t-shirts](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-t-shirts "custom t-shirts") and [heavyweight t-shirts](https://www.stickermule.com/products/heavyweight-t-shirts) depends on the t-shirt size and print location. We'll automatically proof your artwork using the largest print area. If you'd like, you can request a specific print size when you upload your artwork or during proofing.

Backside printing is available for full and center positioning and will have the same maximum print area as the front of the t-shirts.

Sleeve printing is positioned .5" above the sleeve seam and has a maximum print area of 4" x 3". We'll fit your artwork to the print area proportionally and position it at the bottom and center of the print area. If you'd like your artwork to be printed higher on the sleeve or printed asymmetrically, just let us know in the instructions field when you upload your artwork.

Question 3

How do I wash my custom t-shirt?

Accepted Answer

Our [custom t-shirts](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-t-shirts) and [heavyweight t-shirts](https://www.stickermule.com/products/heavyweight-t-shirts) are made from premium 100% ringspun cotton, with the exception of gray shirts, which are 90% cotton and 10% polyester. To prevent shrinkage, cotton is best washed in cold water and air dried or in a dryer on the lowest setting. Flipping your custom t-shirt inside out when washing it, will help prolong the life of your design. Only use non-chlorine bleach when needed and never use an iron on your printed design.

Question 4

Can I print on the front and back of my custom t-shirt?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Double the sides, double the fun! You can now print your design on both the front and the back of your [custom t-shirt](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-t-shirts) and [heavyweight t-shirts](https://www.stickermule.com/products/heavyweight-t-shirts). Here's how:

1. Upload your artwork for the front side of your t-shirt
2. Once uploaded, you'll have the option to add a second side. This is the backside!
3. Select the artwork position for each side. 
4. We'll take care of the rest!
