Cotton Jersey
A soft, breathable staple for custom T-shirts, polos and lightweight layering pieces. Choose combed, organic or blended jersey in varied GSM weights for a smooth hand feel, dependable print results and controlled stretch.
French Terry
French terry delivers a smooth face with absorbent loopback texture, making it ideal for premium sweatshirts, shorts and transitional hoodies. Midweight constructions provide breathable warmth, comfortable drape and reliable structure for embroidery or printing.
Brushed Fleece
Brushed fleece creates a warmer, softer interior for hoodies, joggers and cold-weather casualwear. Its lofty hand feel and heavier weight support cozy silhouettes, while anti-pilling options help preserve surface appearance through repeated washing.
Denim and Twill
Denim and twill bring durable woven structure to jeans, overshirts, workwear and jackets. Available in stretch and rigid constructions, these fabrics support defined silhouettes, distinctive washes and long-lasting abrasion resistance for branded casual collections.
Performance Knits
Performance knits suit active-inspired tees, polos and fitted layers requiring recovery and moisture management. Polyester, nylon and elastane blends offer controlled four-way stretch, lighter weight and a smooth technical hand for movement-focused apparel.
Recycled Fabric Blends
Recycled cotton, recycled polyester and blended knit options help brands develop lower-impact tshirts custom programs. Material selection balances sustainability goals with weight, softness, color performance and durability, supported by swatches before bulk approval.
Custom tshirts Decoration and Finishing Options
Logo Embroidery
Flat, 3D puff and chain-stitch embroidery create raised, tactile branding with strong stitch definition. Ideal for chest logos, sleeve marks and premium details that retain their structure through repeat wear and washing.
Screen Printing
Plastisol, water-based, puff, flocking, silicone, high-density, foil and discharge screen printing deliver bold color, controlled texture and reliable coverage. Junsheen helps match ink type to fabric, artwork detail and desired hand feel.
DTG and DTF
DTG and DTF processes reproduce detailed artwork, gradients and multi-color graphics without the setup limits of traditional screens. They suit custom tshirts programs requiring flexible designs, crisp visual detail and a soft, wearable finish.
Dye Sublimation
Dye sublimation fuses full-color artwork into compatible polyester fabrics for vivid, lightweight graphics with no raised print layer. It is well suited to all-over sportswear, performance tees and graphic-led synthetic knit programs.
Garment Dye Washes
Garment dye, acid wash, enzyme wash, stone wash, softening and anti-pilling finishes shape color depth, softness and lived-in character. Sampling confirms the final tone, shrinkage and surface effect before bulk production begins.
Private-Label Accessories for tshirts custom
Woven Brand Labels
Custom woven main, size and wash-care labels give tshirts custom programs a polished retail identity. Junsheen applies labels at approved placements, with materials, folds, colors and care information matched to your brand standards.
Custom Hang Tags
Branded hang tags communicate collection details, sizing and product value at retail. Choose custom stock, shapes, finishes, strings and barcode-ready layouts for launch-ready garments, from capsule drops to scalable wholesale programs.
Drawcords and Tipping
Add custom drawcords, aglets and contrast tipping to hoodies, sweatpants and outerwear. Options are selected for weight, color consistency and durability, helping coordinate each accessory with your labels, fabrics and logo treatments.
Zippers and Snaps
Specify branded zipper pulls, metal snaps, buttons and closures for jackets, polos and denim pieces. Junsheen sources hardware suited to garment use, then checks placement, function and finish during sampling and bulk quality control.
Custom Patches
Use embroidered, woven, leather-look or printed patches to create distinctive brand marks on tees, denim, knitwear and outerwear. Our team reviews attachment method, placement and wash performance before production approval.
Branded Packaging
Complete your order with custom polybags, tissue, stickers, carton marks and presentation packaging. Coordinated packaging protects finished garments in export transit while giving retailers and direct-to-consumer customers a consistent unboxing experience.

The Complete Buyer’s Guide to tshirts custom
Use this practical framework to compare tshirts custom options, evaluate suppliers, control quality and costs, and avoid the production mistakes that delay launches or weaken your brand.
1. What Are tshirts custom?
100-unit production can mean two very different tshirts custom routes. Blank-based personalization starts with an existing wholesale T-shirt, then adds screen print, DTG, embroidery, transfers, labels, or packaging; it suits event programs, promotional buyers, creators testing artwork, and retailers needing rapid replenishment with limited fit control. 2010 is the founding year of Dongguan Junsheen Clothing Co., Ltd., whose OEM route develops the garment itself: pattern, graded size set, fabric, collar and seam specification, trims, wash, branding, and decoration. This route serves fashion labels and wholesalers that need recognizable fit, consistent repeat orders, private-label ownership, or normal through extended-size assortments rather than a logo on a standard blank. 160–220 GSM ring-spun jersey may suit a regular T-shirt, while heavier 240–300 GSM cotton constructions support structured oversized programs; the correct choice depends on target hand feel, drape, shrinkage tolerance, retail price, and decoration method. Buyers should decide early whether they own only artwork and branding, or the full product specification, because that decision determines sampling, MOQ, lead time, inventory risk, and the manufacturer relationship. 3 core questions separate the routes: Can a stock fit carry the brand? Does the fabric and construction need to be exclusive? Will the program repeat across colors, sizes, and markets? For global brands sourcing from China, fully custom production is usually justified when those answers require control beyond a decorated blank.
2. Evolution of Custom T-Shirt Production
In the 1990s, most custom T-shirts began as promotional programs: a standardized cotton blank, one- or two-color plastisol screen print, and volume-driven purchasing. The buyer’s brief was often limited to logo placement, color count, and delivery date rather than fit, fabric, or brand identity. By the 2010s, fashion-led OEM tshirts custom had moved development upstream. Ring-spun and combed jersey, 160–280 GSM weights, garment dye, enzyme washes, oversized blocks, Pantone-matched trims, and private labels let a T-shirt function as a branded product rather than a printed giveaway. Digital decoration expanded the viable order model: DTG and DTF support detailed multicolor artwork without the screen setup economics that favor large runs, while screen printing remains efficient for repeatable volume graphics. A 100-unit-per-style-and-color starting point can therefore suit capsule launches, provided the supplier can control pattern, grading, fabric lot, decoration, labels, and packing as one specification. OEKO-TEX, GOTS, recycled-content, traceability, and wash-performance questions now sit alongside print approval. Modern sourcing teams evaluate the complete tech pack—fabric composition and GSM, shrinkage tolerance, fit measurements, seams, decoration method, labeling, packaging, MOQ, and inspection standard—because a strong graphic cannot correct an unstable neck rib, poor recovery, inconsistent shade, or weak size grading.
3. Types of tshirts custom
Six tshirts custom formats cover most capsule and repeat-order briefs. Select the silhouette before approving fabric, because weight, decoration area, and grading requirements change with the intended wearer.
Classic Crewneck
160–180 GSM ring-spun cotton suits a regular, easy-to-layer crewneck for broad retail programs. Use screen print, neck labels, and Pantone-matched chest graphics without making the garment feel promotional.
Oversized Streetwear
220–280 GSM jersey supports dropped shoulders, wider bodies, and longer sleeves for streetwear customers. Add puff print, embroidery, acid wash, or a substantial rib collar; confirm shrinkage before locking measurements.
Fitted Fashion Tees
150–190 GSM cotton-elastane or fine combed jersey creates a closer body line for fashion-led or womenswear assortments. Side seams, baby-tee lengths, contrast binding, and fitted grading matter as much as logo placement.
Heavyweight Premium Tees
240–320 GSM compact cotton gives premium tees a structured drape for elevated basics and merchandise. Specify dense ribbing, shoulder tape, enzyme wash, and embroidery or high-density print that matches the heavier hand feel.
Performance Tees
140–180 GSM polyester or performance-knit blends suit training, uniforms, and active collections where moisture handling matters. Sublimation, reflective transfers, mesh panels, and flatlock seams add function, but test decoration durability after laundering.
Extended-Size Specialty Styles
XS–3XL development requires adjusted shoulders, sleeve lengths, body proportions, and grading increments rather than simple scaling. Choose 180–240 GSM jersey and approve a full size set before using oversized, tall, plus-size, or specialty fits.
4. Fabrics for tshirts custom
160–220 GSM is the common decision range for fashion T-shirts: weight changes opacity, drape, print results, and unit cost. For tshirts custom, approve a washed sample because fiber content and knit structure determine shrinkage more reliably than GSM alone.
| Fabric | Typical GSM | Hand And Care | Recommended Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ring-spun cotton | 160–220 | Soft; 3–5% shrinkage | Core, premium, oversized tees |
| Organic cotton | 160–220 | Soft; cold wash | Certified-conscious collections |
| Cotton-poly | 150–200 | Durable; 2–3% shrinkage | Uniforms and value programs |
| Recycled blend | 160–200 | Varied hand; test pilling | Lower-impact essentials |
| Modal or lyocell blend | 150–190 | Silky; gentle wash | Draped premium tees |
| Performance polyester | 140–180 | Quick-dry; mild care | Activewear and sublimation |
Cotton And Organic Cotton
100% ring-spun cotton gives a soft, breathable hand and strong screen-print compatibility; expect 3–5% shrinkage unless fabric is pre-shrunk. Organic cotton can use the same weights and performance, but GOTS documentation should follow the certified supply chain. 180 GSM suits everyday premium tees, while 220 GSM creates a denser oversized silhouette. Wash cold and avoid high heat to protect color, neck recovery, and print.
Blends And Cellulosics
60/40 cotton-poly blends improve abrasion resistance, reduce shrinkage to roughly 2–3%, and dry faster than all-cotton jersey. Their stable surface suits screen printing, although high polyester content can require low-bleed inks. TENCEL lyocell or modal blends add a smooth, cool drape and high breathability for elevated tees. Recycled cotton-poly blends support lower-impact programs, but specify recycled-content evidence and test pilling after laundering.
Performance Synthetics
100% polyester performance knits commonly run 140–180 GSM and offer fast drying, color retention, and high durability. Sublimation works best on white or light polyester, while moisture-wicking finishes require mild care and should be wash-tested before bulk approval.
5. tshirts custom Decoration Options
For tshirts custom, decoration should be specified alongside fabric weight and colorway. Artwork complexity, order volume, hand feel, and expected wash cycles determine the most economical method.
| Method | Artwork | Hand Feel | Best Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen print | Bold spot colors | Soft to opaque | 100+ |
| DTG | Photos and gradients | Soft | Samples to small runs |
| DTF | Detailed multicolor | Film-like | Small to mid runs |
| Embroidery | Small logos | Raised | Premium placements |
| Woven label | Brand identification | Soft edge | 100+ |
Screen Printing
1–6 spot colors suit bold logos, Pantone-matched graphics, and large chest or back prints. 100+ units can justify screen setup; plastisol gives an opaque hand, while water-based ink feels softer after curing.
DTG And DTF Transfers
DTG reproduces photographic artwork and fine gradients on cotton-rich light garments with no screen count. DTF supports detailed multicolor art across cotton, blends, and dark shirts; its transfer film has a more noticeable hand.
Embroidery And Patches
3D puff or flat embroidery gives small logos a premium, dimensional finish but can stiffen lightweight jersey. Woven patches and applique add texture and cover larger motifs; reinforced stitching improves wash durability at edges.
Labels And Method Selection
1–2 woven labels at the neck, hem, or side seam strengthen private-label identification without altering the garment face. 100-unit programs favor methods with low setup; premium embroidery or patches justify higher cost when tactile branding supports retail positioning.
6. Construction Details That Define Quality
Quality in tshirts custom is set by repeatable construction, not a single fabric swatch. Before bulk approval, inspect a production-representative sample and ask for its measurement, wash, and material records.
Yarn And Knit Uniformity
24/1 to 32/1 ring-spun jersey is commonly chosen for a smoother hand than open-end cotton at comparable weight. Request fabric composition, GSM tolerance, and a cut-panel check for barre, holes, skew, and uneven dye uptake. Three swatches from separate rolls reveal whether color and knit density remain consistent. Ask Junsheen to retain the approved swatch and identify the bulk fabric lot on production records.
Neckline And Shoulder Stability
1×1 rib neckbands need adequate recovery after repeated stretching; a loose rib quickly develops a wavy neckline. Pull the approved sample over a head form, then request a post-wash photo and neck opening measurement. 10 to 12 stitches per inch is a practical inspection range for many tee seams, subject to fabric weight and machine setup. Confirm shoulder tape is secured cleanly from neck to sleeve and does not twist beneath the seam.
Body Seams, Hems, And Fit
Tubular bodies eliminate side seams but can limit precise side shaping, while cut-and-sew bodies allow contouring and pocket alignment. Specify the construction in the tech pack and inspect hem levelness, side-seam torque, and coverstitch consistency. XS through 3XL requires deliberate grading rather than enlarging one base pattern. Request a full size set, measurement spec with tolerances, and a wear review before pre-production approval.
Wash Test Before Bulk Release
One wash-and-dry test should be run using the intended care method before fabric is released for cutting. Compare chest, body length, sleeve length, neck opening, spirality, pilling, print integrity, and shade against the unwashed sample. 3% to 5% dimensional change is a common planning threshold, but the acceptable limit must be written into the specification. Ask for before-and-after measurements, wash conditions, and corrective action if shrinkage exceeds the agreed tolerance.
7. How to Choose a T-Shirt Manufacturer
A 100-unit MOQ can suit a capsule, but it does not prove production control. Compare capability, documentation, and responsiveness before treating the lowest tshirts custom quote as the best value.
Verify Product Capability
180–260 GSM jersey, rib specifications, and requested decoration should match the factory’s recent sample work. Ask for comparable garments, measurement tolerances, fabric composition, shrinkage results, and decoration test samples.
Test Sampling Discipline
One approved pre-production sample should lock the tech pack, Pantone references, placement dimensions, graded measurements, and trim list. Ask who records revisions, what changes trigger a resample, and whether approved materials are reserved for bulk.
Check Quality And Compliance
A written QC plan should cover incoming fabric, in-line sewing, measurements, decoration, and final packing inspections. Request defect standards, AQL practice, inspection reports, and applicable OEKO-TEX, GOTS, WRAP, or BSCI documentation rather than accepting verbal assurances.
Confirm Capacity And Export
80,000-plus monthly units may indicate scale, but buyers still need the production slot, color count, and critical-path dates confirmed. Ask for sampling and bulk lead times, export markets served, shipping terms, packing specifications, and the named communication contact.
8. Common tshirts custom Buying Mistakes
A 100-unit launch can absorb a surprising number of preventable errors before the first carton ships. Treat every approval as a production control point, because sampling corrections, rework, and delayed delivery usually cost more than early documentation.
Choosing Fabric From Photos
160 GSM jersey can look premium online yet feel thin, twist after washing, or print poorly. Request a labeled swatch, fiber content, GSM tolerance, shrinkage result, and a washed sample before approving bulk fabric.
Approving Incomplete Tech Packs
One missing measurement, Pantone code, stitch callout, or label placement can produce a garment that matches neither expectation nor quote. Lock a revision-controlled tech pack with graded measurements, construction details, artwork files, and approval signatures.
Ignoring Fit And Grading
XS–3XL cannot be made reliably by enlarging one base pattern. Approve a fit sample and graded size set, then check shoulder balance, body length, sleeve proportion, and chest increments on relevant body types.
Skipping Decoration Wash Tests
10 wash cycles can reveal cracking plastisol, dye migration, embroidery puckering, or weak heat-transfer adhesion. Test decoration on the final fabric and colorway, with documented wash method and pass criteria, before production.
Underestimating MOQ And Timing
100 units per style and color may require separate fabric, trim, and decoration minimums, while sampling and approvals extend the calendar. Confirm MOQ by color, material availability, sample milestones, bulk lead time, and shipping cutoff in writing.
Comparing Unequal Quotes
A lower unit quote often excludes fabric weight, labels, wash treatment, packaging, or inspection. Compare a line-item specification sheet covering quantity, GSM, fiber, decoration, trims, packaging, Incoterm, and quality standard before selecting a supplier.
9. Steps to Launch a Custom T-Shirt Line
A 100-unit-per-style-and-color starting point can support a focused capsule, but only after the brand locks its customer, channel, and target retail price. Each approval gate should transfer a dated, version-controlled specification to the next owner.
Set Customer And Margin
3 decisions come first: intended wearer, selling channel, and retail price. The brand sets target landed cost and margin; the manufacturer confirms whether the proposed MOQ, fabric, decoration, and packaging fit that ceiling.
- Define core sizes and color count
- Set target retail and landed cost
- Name one final commercial approver
Issue The Technical Brief
1 complete tech pack reduces sampling ambiguity. The designer supplies flat sketches, Pantone references, measurement chart, placement artwork, label copy, stitch notes, and a reference garment or mood board; Junsheen reviews construction and grading feasibility.
- Front and back artwork files
- Point-of-measure tolerances
- Decoration size and placement
- Packaging and carton requirements
Lock Materials And Sample
160–220 GSM jersey is a common starting range for fashion tees, while final weight depends on hand feel and opacity. Junsheen sources swatches and makes a prototype; the brand records fit, shrinkage, print, and wash revisions before approving a corrected sample.
- Approve fabric swatch and color
- Check fit across graded sizes
- Wash-test decoration and seams
Approve Preproduction And Deliver
1 signed pre-production sample is the bulk-production gate. The brand approves final measurements, artwork, labels, trims, packing, and tolerance sheet; Junsheen then controls incoming fabric, in-line construction, measurements, decoration, and packed goods before balance payment and shipment.
- Freeze artwork and pattern version
- Confirm inspection standard
- Approve shipping marks and destination
10. tshirts custom Pricing and Cost
100 units per style and color is JUNSHEEN’s starting production scale, so a capsule carries less fabric, cutting, and setup absorption than a repeat bulk order. Request a quote against a locked tech pack, Pantone references, size breakdown, and delivery Incoterm to compare suppliers on the same scope. 160–220 GSM combed ring-spun jersey, one-color screen print, and standard polybag packing normally create the clearest entry-level cost base. Heavier jersey, oversized grading, all-over decoration, enzyme washes, custom neck tape, and multiple label components each add material, labor, or setup cost. 30–45 days is a practical planning range after sample and bulk-material approval for a standard program; complex development or peak-season fabric booking can extend it. Landed cost also changes with carton volume, destination, duties, freight mode, and whether the quote is EXW, FOB, CIF, or DDP.
| Quantity tier | Indicative unit-price drivers | Expected lead-time | Best-fit production scenario |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100–299 units | Higher cutting, print, and label setup allocation; limit colors and components | 30–45 days | Capsule launch or fit validation |
| 300–999 units | Better fabric yield and decoration efficiency; standard labels reduce handling | 25–40 days | Growing brand replenishment |
| 1,000–2,999 units | Bulk fabric booking and shared setups lower unit pressure | 25–35 days | Core graphic or retail program |
| 3,000+ units | Negotiated fabric, repeat patterns, and consolidated packing improve economics | 30–45 days | Ongoing wholesale or multi-market rollout |
| Sample and setup | Prototype, pattern, grading, screen, embroidery, and custom trim costs are quoted separately | 7–20 days | Approval before bulk commitment |
