Don't Lose Your Design | Save Your Layout

The last thing you want to do is lose all the hard work you've done. Think about it -  you've just spent 30 to 60 minutes creating your design for custom t-shirts, polos, hoodies, sweatshirts or some other apparel product. But you're not ready to order. You need to save this design and it is extremely easy to do. 

From the designer, simply click on the Save Layout button and name your design.

Save Design Variations

Whether you are modifying a template, designing from scratch or uploading your logo, you can save every variation you want. This could be image size, ink colors, text variations, multiple print locations or whatever else you come up with.

Save Product  & Quantity Variations

Not only will Save Layout store your design, but it will save the product information, including shirt color, sizes and pricing. This is terrific for saving all sorts of variations you can later use as reference for placing orders online.

For instance, let's say you create a 4-color design you want printed on t-shirts. Perhaps you are not certain exactly which style t-shirt you want nor are your sure how many you want to buy. Likely the total cost will help you come to a decision. You can save every variation for quick comparison.

For example, you can save your design using the popular Gildan 2000 Ultra Cotton T-shirt with quantities of 50 and 100. You can then change the product, say to a finer quality Next Level Premium Cotton T-shirt , and also save that in quantities of 50 and 100. You can save each variation so long as you name each layout differently. So in this example you would have 4 different saved layouts, perhaps named My Logo Gildan 2000 - 50, My Logo Gildan 2000 - 100, My Logo Next Level 3600 - 50, My Logo Next Level 3600 - 100. Now you can log into your account and open any of these variations later for quick reference.

Save Everything

The bottom line: You can save every variation you want just as long as you name each one differently. So create variations of your design on a variety of different products and colors, so you can use them later.

From your account control panel you can access Saved Layouts

How To Order Soccer Team Shirts Online

Spring is here and it's time to order t-shirts for your kid's soccer team. I am referring to 'Fun' shirts for the kids. So where do you start? How about online. It's quick, easy, and low priced.

Pick The Right T-Shirt

This part is actually quite easy. The two most popular t-shirts are either 100% cotton or 50/50 blends (50% polyester, 50% cotton). You really can't go wrong either way. I prefer cotton because it is softer. Also, for colored t-shirts, like red, 100% cotton prints better. On blends, white ink on red can turn pink because of the way blends are dyed (this is a whole other topic altogether).

As for Brand, Gildan is the number one selling brand in the world for a reason - great quality and a low price. That said, it comes down to preference. They really are all made pretty much the same, so whether you buy Gildan, Hanes, Fruit of The Loom or Jerzees, you will have a quality t-shirt.

All you need is a basic t-shirt, which comes down to comparing weight & fabric content.

1. 100% Cotton 5.3oz - (recommended Gildan 5000 Adult & Gildan 5000B Youth)
2. 100% Cotton 6.1oz (recommended Glidan 2000 Adult & Gildan 2000B Youth)
3. 50/50 Blend 5.5oz (recommended Glidan 8000 Adult & Gildan 8000B Youth)

The Gildan 2000 at 6.1 oz is just heavier. The 5000 is becoming more popular because the trend is towards lighter weight fabrics. Beyond that, there are a multitude of different t-shirts available, which can get quite confusing. Most are a variety of different fashion forward type styles, that are likely NOT what you are looking for.

Why buy 50/50? It used to be that folks worried about cotton shrinking. This concern is a thing of the past, since all the major brands, pre-shrink their 100% cotton fabrics. The main reason for 50/50 would be wrinkle free drying. Not a huge issue, but if your clothes sit in the dryer for hours after the cycle completes, you will find 50/50 is wrinkle free compared to cotton, which should be pulled out of the dryer while still warm.

Design Your Soccer Shirt Online

Example of Online T-shirt Template Personlized

Use a Stock  Soccer Template

This is where the fun starts. Look for a website that offers templates you can modify. You should be able to change the text, change the colors and swap the graphics. If you have a team logo, you can easily incorporate it into the design. With these customization options, you can make a template look like your own.

Unrelated Template Before Customization

Modify An Unrelated Template

This is a little trick that will give you a lot more options for designing your t-shirt online. Maybe the soccer templates just don't do it for you. So why not modify another template to get what you want? In this example, we start with a generic "Collegiate" style design. We simply edit the text, then added a soccer ball from the website clip-art library. Viola, we have a brand new soccer design.

Unrelated Template After Customization

Have The T-Shirt Printer Design It For You

If you don't have time to design, ask the screen printer to do it for you. Online custom apparel companies will do this, usually for a very small fee. The best way to do this is send the t-shirt company a Quote Request.

Many online t-shirt companies have a quote request feature on their website. If not, just email them. Include the following details:

1. Shirt Details - brand, style #, colors and sizes
2. Design reference - refer to a stock template on the website if possible or include an attached image similar to what you are looking for, with notes about what you want.

My Plans For TerrificT Blog Category Pages

"I've Got Big Plans for My TerrificT Blog"

So here's the deal. At the time of this writing, I figure no one will  actually ever read this post. I'm just getting started. But it does serve a purpose. So if you are reading this, let me tell you ever so briefly what is coming.

What I've Been Up To At TerrifcT

When I'm not managing our screen-printing or embroidery operations, I'm working tirelessly on our website www.TerrificT.com for custom t-shirts and apparel.

Production and customers keep me and my crew really, really busy, but I do love web design and improving the user experience for ordering t-shirts online. It's a challenge & it's fun, but it does keep me up through the wee hours of the night. This doesn't always make Mrs. Terrific very happy, but she believes in what we are doing.

Why TerrificT Will Blog

Our website is doing great, but now it's time to get busy with a blog. I've been putting it off for too long and it's a shame. I've been a screen printer since 1987, decorating garments for a wide variety of customers from a local sports teams to large national corporations.

We excel and 4-color process (full color) screen-printing, t-shirt design, quick turns and large volume production. All these years of experience can offer great insight to help our customers buy custom t-shirts and apparel. So I plan to use this blog to educate custom apparel buyers plus have some fun.

TerrificT Blog Category Plans

After creating a list of roughly 25 ideas for our blog, I realized it should be categorized and easily accessible. So we have created 5 Blog Pages to help navigate our Primary Categories.

The Pages are:

Custom T-Shirt & Apparel Buying Tips

Custom T-Shirt & Apparel Case Scenarios

How To Order Online Custom T-Shirt & Apparel

Custom T-Shirt & Apparel Promotions

Fun Custom Apparel Stories

By the time you read this, hopefully the pages will be full of content that will help you with buying custom t-shirts and apparel . So that's it for now.
- Mr. Terrific
