Custom t-shirts
A custom t-shirt is a plain shirt with your logo or design printed or stitched on it. Use it for staff, events, or shirts you give away or sell. Unitix prints custom t-shirts in Australia.

Key takeaways
- Custom t-shirts (sometimes called custom tees or printed t-shirts) are made with your artwork. They are not a blank pack from a supermarket.
- Screen print suits a simple logo when you need a lot of shirts. Digital print (often called DTG) suits photos and lots of colours. Embroidery is a stitched logo, not a big picture.
- Who will wear the shirt matters more than the exact logo colour. Staff shirts, event giveaways, and shirts you sell need different prints.
- Unitix prints custom t-shirts in Australia. For colder months see custom hoodies. High-visibility work shirts are custom workwear.
Screen print, digital print, or embroidery
The right method depends on your artwork. A photo will not look right if we treat it like a two-colour logo.
| Screen print | Digital print (DTG) | Embroidery | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best artwork | A bold logo in a few solid colours | Photos, faded colours, or busy designs | A simple logo with clean edges |
| How it looks | Ink sits on the fabric. This is the classic printed t-shirt feel. | Ink soaks into the cotton. Soft, and good for full colour. | The logo is stitched on. It feels more like a uniform than a concert shirt. |
| Choose this when | You have one design and you know how many shirts you need | You want a picture on a smaller number of shirts | The same logo also goes on a polo or a hat |
Events, staff, or everyday wear
The right t-shirt depends on who will wear it and where. Staff uniforms, event giveaways, and shirts you sell all need a different print and a different feel.
Events and shirts you sell
For a concert, a launch, or a club stall, people should be able to read the design from a few metres away. Put it on the front or the back, keep the contrast strong, and keep the wording large. If you want the same design on something warmer, add a custom hoodie.
Staff and teams
A small logo on the left chest is usually enough. The shirt has to survive the wash, and it should not look like a concert souvenir. If the team needs a collar, order a custom polo. If they work on a site or a road and need to be seen, that is custom workwear, not a regular tee dyed bright yellow.
A heavier cotton shirt
We usually start with a premium cotton t-shirt. Button-up shirts in the same range (oxford and denim) are a different shape. Do not order them if you want a t-shirt.
What to send us
We can quote once we know the shirt colour, how many of each size, your artwork, and where the logo sits. A pile of inspiration photos is not enough.

Choose how the logo goes on
Screen print for a simple logo on a large order. Digital print for a photo. Embroidery if the same logo has to match other clothing. Say front, back, or both.

Send artwork that will print cleanly
For screen print and embroidery, send a logo file from design software (.ai, .eps, or .svg), not a photo of your website. For digital print, a high-resolution image is fine.
