Shirt Customs helps small brands, teams, businesses, creators and buyers make practical custom-apparel decisions. Our central question is simple: which production choice fits the design, fabric, quantity and intended use? We cover print methods, artwork, placement, garments, durability, care and ordering quantities with that decision in mind.
How we research apparel production
We prioritize current documentation from manufacturers of DTF and DTG systems, screen-printing products, sublimation and transfer materials, embroidery equipment, inks, films and garments. We also use credible apparel-production sources when they add technical context or help explain real production tradeoffs.
Compatibility claims are checked against the relevant process and material. When an answer depends on application temperature, cure conditions, fabric content, coating, wash care or expected durability, we look for documentation that addresses those specific conditions. A setting that works for one film, ink, transfer or garment is not automatically presented as a universal rule.
Evidence, attribution and opinion
Important technical statements are attributed when the source matters to understanding or verifying the claim. Manufacturer specifications are identified as manufacturer information. Credible secondary sources may provide context, but they do not replace relevant first-party process instructions for product-specific settings.
We distinguish documented tests and supported firsthand experience from research-based analysis. If an example is hypothetical, it is presented as an illustration rather than a completed production test. Editorial artwork is treated as illustration. Photographs, documents and other material used as evidence should retain an identified source and enough context to show what they represent.
Reasoned opinion helps turn specifications into a useful choice. Recommendations consider artwork detail, garment construction, fabric, run size, variation, feel and durability requirements. Opinions are explained through those tradeoffs rather than presented as facts.
Commercial disclosures
Commercial relationships, sponsorships and other material connections are described only when documented. When such a relationship affects particular content, the relevant disclosure is attached to that content so readers can assess the recommendation in context.
Corrections
Accuracy matters because incorrect production guidance can waste garments, transfers and time. To report a possible error, email contact@shirtcustoms.com with the article URL, the statement in question and supporting evidence. Corrections are assessed against relevant current documentation, and published material is updated when a change is warranted.
