Three ways to build your custom T-shirts
Pick the path that matches your budget, your in-hand date, and how far you want to take the design.
Decorated premium blanks
Put branded T‑shirts with your logo into production fast by screen printing or embroidering a premium blank. This route keeps unit costs low and offers the fastest production time.
Best for: Trade shows, campaign launches, quick-turn giveaways, and pilot orders
Premium brand-partner T-shirts
Co-brand a finished tee from one of our retail partners. Your logo sits next to a label recipients already love. These premium custom T‑shirts make great corporate gifts for senior stakeholders or staff uniforms.
Best for: Executive gifts, client appreciation, and unique corporate gifts
Fully custom and private label T-shirts
Custom fabric, weight, fit, colorways, construction, labeling, and packaging, proprietary to your brand.
A private label program puts your logo on the neck label with no third-party branding anywhere on the garment. We private label for corporate programs and in-house merchandise teams, not resellers.
Best for: Company merch stores, member and donor drops, hospitality retail, and gift-with-purchase kits

How custom T-shirt orders work
Anthem manages every step. The process is similar whether you decorate a premium blank or build a tee from raw fabric.
Consult
Share your brief, budget, and in-hand date. A brand consultant recommends the construction path, fabric weight, and decoration method.
Design
The merchandise design team builds concepts around your brand. You review and give notes before anything moves ahead.
Sample
You get a digital mockup or a physical pre-production sample, depending on the program.
Approve
Production does not start until the sample is approved, so nothing surprises you at delivery.
Produce
Decorated blanks run about 2 weeks plus shipping. Fully custom builds run longer because they include a sampling round and full production.
Ship
Send everything to one address, dropship to employees and clients, or fulfill on demand through a custom swag store. Mix the methods if your program needs both.

All you need to know: custom t‑shirts
Custom embroidered custom T‑shirts
A custom tee with an embroidered design brings elegance to everyday wear. For corporate apparel, custom embroidery sets the highest professional standard.
Here is why custom-embroidered shirts make great promotional products:
- Brand visibility: Custom corporate T‑shirts with your embroidered logo can be your walking billboards.
- Perceived value: Our beautiful embroidery gives the T‑shirt a higher perceived value than other decorative methods.
- Durability: Embroidered designs won’t crack, peel, or fade.
- Versatility: Embroidered T‑shirts fit everywhere — at corporate events, during corporate outings, or at bachelorette parties.
- Cost-effective: Embroidered T‑shirts are affordable while looking great.
How can I customize my t‑shirt?
You can customize your t‑shirt with various options, including printing your logo, adding embroidery, selecting colors, and choosing specific design elements like necklines, sleeve lengths, and fabric types.
Screen-printed personalized T‑shirts
Screen-printed T‑shirts make durable custom business apparel. This tried-and-true method has been used for decades to decorate custom-printed T‑shirts with eye-catching graphics and slogans. Screen printing applies ink directly onto the surface of the shirt.
Here’s why custom screen printing is an excellent choice for custom orders:
- Vibrant look: Screen printing ink lays down in a thick, solid layer for rich visuals.
- Simple or complex artwork: Whether you want a simple logo or an intricate design, screen printing shows every detail. This type of custom T‑shirt printing is amazing for sports teams and corporate events.
- Soft hand feel: While the ink creates a raised surface, quality prints feel soft and comfortable against the skin.
- Unbeatable durability: High-quality custom T‑shirts withstand countless washes while resisting cracking and fading.
- Cost-effective for bulk orders: Perfect for promotional giveaways — the more shirts you order, the better your price.
Screen-printed T‑shirts are affordable, popular giveaways for trade shows or company parties.
Sublimation printed co-branded T‑shirts
Sublimation printing uses heat to infuse dye directly into the fabric fibers, resulting in prints that won’t crack, peel, or fade over time.
Here’s what makes sublimation printing a great choice for custom-made T‑shirts:
- Bold look: The sublimation process produces vibrant colors that pop on the fabric.
- Detailed designs: From photos to complex patterns, every fantastic T‑shirt design shows crisp detail.
- Soft feel: Unlike other methods, sublimated designs become part of the fabric for a natural feel.
- Durable: With our high-quality and long-lasting print process, your designs stay bright.
- Many options: Pick from additional shirt colors to match your style perfectly.
Screen printing is best for bold, all-over designs.

Personalized pocket t‑shirts FAQs
How big can a logo be on a T‑shirt pocket?
Roughly 3 × 3 in. on a stock panel, and closer to 2.5 in. square for embroidery. Move up to the chest just above the pocket, and you get about 4.5 × 4.5 in. You have more options if you choose the fully custom route.
Can you embroider a T‑shirt pocket?
We embroider pockets directly, and on a fully custom run the panel gets stitched while it is still a flat piece of fabric, so nothing gets sealed shut. We can also weave or embroider the whole panel, which makes the pocket itself the logo.
Should the logo go on the pocket or above it?
On the panel keeps the mark tied to the pocket and reads as a deliberate design detail, with about 3 × 3 in. to work in. Above it opens up to roughly 4.5 × 4.5 in. and clears the seam. Stock pockets are not always sewn dead square, so a print sitting directly on one can follow that angle. We check alignment during sampling and adjust before production. If a program mixes pocket and plain tees, the right chest gives identical positioning across every shirt.
Can we put a small mark on the pocket and a bigger graphic on the back?
That combination is one of our most requested builds. A pocket-scale mark on the front with full artwork across the back reads as retail merch rather than promotional apparel, and we add sleeve hits, hem flags, and inside-neck branding on the same run.
How durable is a sewn-on pocket?
Pockets fail at the top corners first, where a thumb catches the edge going in. We bar-tack both corners, run double-needle hems, and tape the shoulders so the panel stays square. On a stock blank the corner reinforcement is whatever the manufacturer specified.
Which pocket style takes decoration best?
Patch panels with square edges and flat seams. Because the panel gets sewn on after the body is finished, we decorate it while it lies flat, which holds registration and keeps the pocket open. Rounded corners and set-in panels are harder to register on, so we push the mark to the chest above the pocket or switch to embroidery.
Do custom pocket T‑shirts cost more than plain tees?
A pocket adds fabric and a sewing operation, so unit cost sits a little above an equivalent plain tee. Contrast panels, custom dimensions, and cut-and-sew construction move it further. A consultant will price the three construction paths side by side.
What is your turnaround time for custom pocket T‑shirts?
Our design and manufacturing process depends on how custom you want to go.
For a run of pocket tees with a simple decoration:
- Design: 3 – 5 days
- Production: 2 – 2.5 weeks
- Shipping: 3 – 5 days
Completely custom pocket T‑shirts:
- Design: 3 – 5 days
- Pre-production samples: 2.5 – 3.5 weeks
- Production: 15 – 20 days
- Shipping: 7 – 10 days by air and 30 – 35 days by ocean
If you need rush service, contact our customer service team with the details, and we’ll let you know whether we can hit your deadline.
Can the pocket be a different color or fabric than the shirt?
Yes. We spec the panel and the body independently, which lets you run twill against a jersey body, flip the colorway, or pull the panel from printed yardage. Pantone matching applies to both pieces, and we sample the pair together because two fabrics rarely take the same dye the same way.
How should a decorated pocket tee be washed?
Screen-printed and sublimated panels go inside out in cold water and tumble dry low, which keeps ink from cracking along the pocket seam. Embroidered panels take hot water and pressing, which is why uniform programs lean on stitch. Patches follow their base material, so leather and rubber skip the dryer.
Can you private label T‑shirts for our company?
We build private-label tees with your wordmark on the neck label, your colors in the fabric, and no third-party branding anywhere on the garment. Anthem runs these for corporate programs and for brands operating merchandise in-house, not for resellers.
