Custom Team Tshirts, Made for Your Brand

Classic Crewneck

A regular-fit crewneck suits staff uniforms, events, and broad wholesale assortments. Its flat front supports screen prints or embroidered chest logos; standard blocks are efficient, but less distinctive on fashion-led shelves.

Oversized Streetwear

A dropped shoulder and wider body create the oversized silhouette used for streetwear drops and creator merchandise. Large back artwork reads well; extra fabric, heavier neck rib, and fit sampling raise unit cost and development risk.

Athletic Performance Tees

Moisture-wicking performance tees fit training teams, races, and active retail. Sublimation or heat-applied marks work cleanly; synthetic fabric can limit some print effects and requires wash testing for decoration adhesion.

Raglan And Contrast Panels

Raglan sleeves and contrast panels suit clubs seeking a recognizably athletic identity. Color blocking creates built-in branding; each additional panel adds seams, cutting complexity, and potential color-matching control points.

Long-Sleeve Tees

Long sleeves serve cooler climates, work crews, and layered retail collections. Sleeve prints add sellable logo space; cuff specifications and longer sewing time make them less economical than short-sleeve basics.

Extended-Size Tees

XS through 3XL programs serve inclusive teams and brands with wider customer demand. A graded fit can carry chest or back branding consistently; proper shoulder, sleeve, and body adjustments require more than scaling one base pattern.

Natural Cotton Choices

160–180 GSM ring-spun cotton gives a familiar soft hand and strong screen-print opacity. It breathes well but can shrink 3–5% unless pre-shrunk. 180–220 GSM combed cotton removes shorter fibers for a smoother, more premium surface. It pills less than open-end cotton and suits retail-ready teamwear.

Blends And Performance

50/50 cotton-poly at 160–180 GSM dries faster and resists shrinkage better than all-cotton. Its durable surface suits repeat-use staff and event shirts. 100% performance polyester at 130–160 GSM manages moisture and holds color well. Choose low-migration inks for sublimation or polyester screen printing.

Weight For Positioning

180–220 GSM heavyweight jersey adds structure, coverage, and premium drape for streetwear teams. Its dense face prints crisply, though it runs warmer. 150–180 GSM recycled polyester supports lightweight athletic or promotional programs when traceability documents are available. Check pilling resistance and recycled-content certification by lot.

Print Method Comparison

1–2 Pantone spot colors on 100+ identical shirts usually favor screen printing; it delivers an opaque, durable print but needs screens per color. Full-color gradients and small runs favor DTG or DTF. DTG feels softer on cotton, while DTF transfers onto more fabric blends with a slightly raised hand.

Choose By Wear And Budget

20–50 wash cycles are a practical target for teamwear; request a wash-test sample, especially for DTF, transfers, puff, foil, silicone, or high-density inks. Promotional shirts can prioritize low setup and quick artwork changes. Retail merchandise should prioritize hand feel, alignment, color consistency, and repeatable placement specifications.

• Screen print: bulk runs, bold logos, low unit cost
• DTG: detailed cotton artwork, softer surface
• DTF or heat transfer: mixed fabrics and variable names
• Embroidery or appliqué: premium chest branding

Retail Branding Details

2–3 inch left-chest embroidery suits simple marks; dense stitch files can pucker lightweight jersey, so simplify fine lines and use stabilizer. Woven main labels, size labels, neck prints, and inside care labels build retail identity without crowding the front graphic. Specify placement from neck seam or center front, not visual estimates.

Artwork And Placement Rules

0.3–0.5 mm lines and tiny reversed type may fail in screen print or embroidery; supply vector art and identify Pantone references where color matching matters. 12 inch wide front prints, sleeve marks, back numbers, nape prints, and hem labels each need separate placement callouts. Approve strike-offs before bulk production.

Construction Specifications

A ±5% fabric-weight tolerance should be written beside the approved GSM, composition, and wash method in the tech pack. Specify ring-spun versus open-end yarn, acceptable skew, and shrinkage target after the stated wash test. A 1×1 rib collar needs sufficient elastane and recovery to prevent a wavy neckline after repeated wear. Inspect shoulder tape, side seams, sleeve opening balance, and consistent coverstitch or overlock density on the pre-production sample.

• Record finished-garment measurements by size
• Set collar width and rib composition
• Specify stitches per inch where relevant
• Approve sleeve length and shoulder slope

Wash And Decoration Performance

A 3–5% shrinkage allowance is common for cotton jersey, but the agreed test method matters more than a generic promise. Wash the sample through the intended care cycle and compare chest, body length, twist, pilling, and color change against approved tolerances. A cured screen print should resist cracking, peeling, and dye migration after wash testing. Confirm Pantone references, ink type, print placement, and adhesion on the actual production fabric rather than a substitute swatch.

• Check colorfastness to washing and rubbing
• Test dark garments for dye migration
• Inspect print edges under stretch
• Confirm care symbols match test results

Grading And Labels

A size set from XS through 3XL should show deliberate grade rules, not uniformly enlarged dimensions. Compare shoulder balance, sleeve proportion, chest ease, and body length across sizes on fitted samples. A pre-production sample must carry the approved main label, size label, wash-care label, country-of-origin marking, and hangtag placement. Junsheen can retain approved patterns and material records to support repeat-order consistency.

• Match label artwork to the approved file
• Verify size label against graded measurements
• Confirm fiber content and care instructions
• Approve packaging and barcode placement

Verify Product Fit

Ask for comparable jersey, polo, and performance-knit samples, plus measurement tolerances and grading records. A supplier should explain how body length, chest ease, sleeve pitch, and extended sizes change across the size set.

• Which fabrics and GSM ranges have you produced?
• Can you grade XS through 3XL?
• What tolerance applies to key measurements?

Test Development Control

Request a written sample route: tech-pack review, pattern creation, prototype, size set, and pre-production approval. Confirm who owns Pantone matching, artwork placement, screen setup, embroidery files, and revision records.

• What is the sample lead time?
• How are artwork revisions approved?
• Will bulk use the approved materials?

Audit Production Reliability

Ask how incoming fabric, in-line sewing, decoration, measurements, and packed cartons are inspected. Request applicable compliance documentation, such as OEKO-TEX or GOTS material certificates and WRAP or BSCI records where required by your market.

• What is monthly capacity?
• How are defects reported and corrected?
• Which shipping documents are supplied?

Reduce Handoff Risk

JUNSHEEN-style private-label support keeps pattern making, fabric sourcing, decoration, labels, packaging, QC, and export coordination within one managed workflow. That continuity gives sourcing teams one approval trail instead of separate vendor handoffs.

• Confirm MOQ by style and color
• Approve a sealed pre-production sample
• Set delivery dates before fabric booking

Price-Only Fabric Selection

160 GSM open-end cotton may reduce unit cost, but it can feel thin, twist after washing, and print differently from 180–220 GSM ring-spun jersey. Request swatches, confirm fiber content and GSM tolerance, then approve a washed fabric test against the intended use.

Unusable Artwork And Decoration

72 dpi screenshots and RGB logos often produce blurred edges or unexpected color shifts, while fine lines may fill in under screen print, puff ink, or embroidery. Supply vector AI, PDF, or EPS files, specify Pantone references, and approve a strike-off at final print size.

Unchecked Samples And Sizing

A sample approved on one fit model can conceal a 2 cm chest variance, short sleeve balance, or poor 2XL–3XL grading. Measure the sample against a signed spec sheet, review a full size set when extended sizes matter, and record acceptable tolerances before bulk cutting.

Incomplete Quote Comparisons

Two quotes for the same-looking tee may differ in GSM, print color count, label set, wash process, packing, and inspection level, making the cheaper offer non-comparable. Compare a line-item specification matrix and confirm decoration limits, wash testing, quantity by size and color, and delivery terms in writing.

Brief And Technical Files

Day 1, define wearer, use case, target retail price, size range, color count and delivery market. Collect reference photos, competitor measurements and a clear logo-placement brief. One tech pack should specify garment measurements, construction, Pantone colors, artwork dimensions, label copy and packing method. Provide editable vector art in AI, EPS or PDF format, plus linked fonts or outlined text.

Materials And Quotation

180–220 GSM ring-spun cotton jersey suits many everyday custom team tshirts, while 220–260 GSM gives a heavier hand. Confirm fabric composition, shrinkage expectation, available color, trim choices and decoration method before costing. A quotation should separate unit price, sample charges, decoration setup, labels, packaging, shipping terms and tax exposure. For a 100-unit MOQ, limit early development to one style, one or two colors and a focused size breakdown.

Sample And Fit Approval

One prototype reveals whether the supplied measurements translate into an acceptable garment. Approve fabric swatches, strike-offs for prints or embroidery, measurement points, workmanship and wash appearance in writing. A graded size set is essential when XS through 3XL is planned; shoulder balance, body length and grading increments must be reviewed rather than simply enlarging one base size. Record every approved revision in the final tech pack.

Bulk Release And Delivery

After pre-production approval, release the purchase order with final quantities, size ratio, approved artwork, labels and ship-to details. Keep the campaign buffer outside the factory schedule, especially when freight or customs timing is uncertain. Final inspection should check measurements, construction, decoration, color consistency and packed quantities against the approved sample. Confirm carton marks, polybag requirements, commercial invoice and packing list before the balance is settled and goods ship.
