Custom T-Shirts

Here at Zazzle, our custom shirts are one of our premier attractions: every customer wants to know how they can create t-shirts that are casual, comfortable and customizable! They’re the ultimate piece of leisurewear and the perfect addition to any wardrobe, whether you’re planning a family trip, attending a corporate event or simply relaxing at home. Learn more about our state-of-the-art design tool – and about how to stand out from the crowd with a t-shirt design you won’t find anywhere else – by reading our walkthrough below.

Creating Your Own Custom T-Shirt

Our Independent Creators are responsible for most of the personalized shirts on Zazzle: they’re the talented design community that produced the designs and templates on our main t-shirts page. However, every Independent Creator gets their start in the same way: by visiting one of our custom pages and using a blank canvas to create something they’d like to wear (and later on, share). The step-by-step instructions below explain how to make your own t-shirt, and we can’t wait to see what you can come up with!

  • Step 1: Navigate to our custom t-shirts page. Happily, if you’re reading this, you’ve already accomplished that much. However, if you want to work with another product, you can always replace the product type referenced in the URL with another item, e.g. instead of ‘custom/tshirts,’ type in ‘custom/notebooks.’
  • Step 2: Under the ‘Create Your Own T-Shirts’ heading, there are a range of different thumbnails, each of which constitutes a separate style, size or fit. The default option, for instance, is the ‘Basic Dark T-Shirt’ on the top-left corner of the page, but there are 20 others to choose from.
  • Step 3: Click on the ‘Basic Dark T-Shirt’ – or another product – and then on the ‘Customize This Design’ button to access our design tool. Here you can add your own personal touch to the product, shaping it to your satisfaction.
  • Step 4: Hit the ‘Done’ button to save your changes and ‘Add to Cart’ to ready your product for purchase. There are multiple shipping speeds available, depending on how quickly you need your personalized t-shirts, and once you’ve chosen a delivery method and inputted your billing information, we can start production!

Custom T-Shirt Types

Aside from the actual design of the t-shirt – the images and text that make up the core artwork on the front or back of the shirt – there are other ways to personalize your t-shirt, too (as with every Zazzle product). For example, on the product page for any given shirt, you’ll be prompted to select a ‘Style’: some of these are fully zipped-up hoodies, and others are cute bodysuits for toddlers. As with any apparel item, the ‘Size’ is very important, so consult the ‘Size Chart’, linked in blue, to see exact measurements for each fit. Finally, the ‘Color & Print Process’ menu asks you to opt for either ‘Classic Printing’ or ‘Vivid Printing.’ If a product is made using Classic T-Shirt Printing, then any white part of the design will be transparent, allowing the color of the fabric to show through. On the other hand, with Vivid T-Shirt Printing, there’ll be a white base layer added, shoring up any transparency, and any white parts of the design will be more vibrant as a result.

Related Custom Clothing Products

T-shirts aren’t our only custom clothing item, as we’ve indicated throughout this how-to guide. Indeed, it’s possible to create an entire outfit on Zazzle – a truly unique blend of our apparel and accessories. Each of the following links will take you to a different clothing or footwear item, and the blank templates you’ll find there can be manipulated in the same way as our t-shirts. Occasionally, you may see an additional drop-down menu or two, or you may notice an option missing – for instance, our trucker hats only come in one size, but there’s an extensive palette of colors to choose from. Have fun experimenting with these products, and start a brand-new fashion trend on Zazzle today!
