A complete guide to our online design tools – understand exactly what you can do before you start.Our design tool gives you everything you need to create custom apparel. This page explains each feature so you know what’s possible and how to get the best results.
Text Tools
Add custom text to your designs with full control over appearance.
What You Can Do:
Add text anywhere – Click to place text on any print area
Choose fonts – Select from our library of print-ready fonts
Change colours – Pick any colour for your text
Resize freely – Make text as large or small as needed
Rotate text – Angle your text for creative layouts
Edit anytime – Double-click text to change the wording
Tips for Best Results:
Use bold, simple fonts for small text – they print more clearly
Dark text on light shirts (or light text on dark shirts) gives best contrast
Leave margin space around text so it doesn’t print too close to seams
Preview your design at actual size to check text is readable
Limitations:
Font selection is from our library (you cannot upload custom fonts)
Very small text (under 8pt equivalent) may not print clearly
Image Upload
Add your own images, logos, and artwork to create unique designs.
