Your design. Our ink. Five steps.
Custom tees should not come with a learning curve. Whether it is merch for a brand, shirts for an event or a run for your team, every order at TBSP moves through the same straightforward path, run out of our shop at 5738 Holmes Ave. in Los Angeles.
Step 1: Send the idea
Fill out the quick quote form with what you have. Finished artwork is great. A sketch, a logo file or a reference photo works too. Tell us:
- The shirt you want (or ask us to recommend one from the catalog)
- Quantity and size breakdown
- Print locations, like front, back or sleeve
- Your deadline
Step 2: Get your quote
We answer within one business day with a price and a recommended print method. That recommendation comes from your quantity and artwork, not a sales script.
How do we pick the print method?
The artwork decides it, and every order starts at 6 pieces:
- Bold designs with a few solid colors: screen printing, done in-house, for bold, durable color and the best price on bigger runs
- Full-color or photo art: usually direct-to-garment or direct-to-film, with no screens to set up
- Names and numbers: heat transfer vinyl
- Edge-to-edge artwork: all-over sublimation
Not sure which suits your design? Our guide to custom printed t-shirts breaks down each method.
Step 3: Free art check
Before anything goes on press, we check your artwork for resolution, thin lines, color count and sizing. Problems get caught on the screen, not on your shirts.
Step 4: We print
Your order goes into production. If you are racing a date, ask about rush: Normal (about 2 weeks), Rush (1 week, +15%) and Super Rush (3 business days, +30%) turnaround options are available. Details are on our Rush and Super Rush printing page.
Step 5: Pick up or ship
Grab your order from our Los Angeles shop during business hours, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, or have it shipped. Live nearby? See custom t-shirt printing near Los Angeles for local pickup.
