It wasn’t until the 1960s when t-shirts transformed from basic undergarment to means of self-expression. It\u2019s kind of crazy to think that previous to then, they were dismissed as something that went <\/span>under <\/span><\/i>your clothes. Nowadays, t-shirts have become a staple in most wardrobes. From trending to typographic, t-shirt ideas have evolved a lot over the past few decades. Whatever your reason for wearing one, there\u2019s likely a strong statement behind it. Whether you’re repping your favorite band or repping your favorite brand, the <\/span>best t-shirt designs<\/span> are ones that resonate with your personal style and beliefs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Screen Printing<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Direct To Garments (DTG)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Dye Sublimation<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Heat Press Printing<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Vinyl Cutting<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Screen printing is the most commonly used process, especially for professionals. It\u2019s ideal for creating high-quality prints, but it can be time-consuming and unsuitable for hobbyists or small print runs. If you’re dabbling with t-shirt ideas, we recommend using the heat press process. <\/span>For heat press printing, your design is printed on transfer paper, which can be found online or in most craft stores. Print your shirt design on transfer paper and position it on your t-shirt. From there, apply heat and pressure using an iron. The heat of the iron will soften the ink and will transfer it to your shirt. Peel the glossy part of the transfer paper back and voila<\/em>. You have a beautiful, custom design t-shirt. <\/span><\/p>\n
