🖌️ Creating a Design in the Design Studio

Our Design Studio makes it easy to customize shirts, hats, jackets, bags, polos, aprons, blankets, and more — no design experience needed! You can add your logo, text, or artwork and visualize your design on the product instantly.


đź’¬ Common Questions Answered:

  • How do I upload my logo or add text?
  • Can I switch product styles or colors?
  • How do I save my design for later?
  • Will I get a proof before production?
  • Can I design hats, polos, or bags the same way as shirts?

🚀 How to Get Started

  1. Visit any product page — whether it’s a t-shirt, tote bag, beanie, or apron
  2. Click the Design Now button
  3. The Design Studio will open with your selected product and color pre-loaded

Use the buttons at the top to:

  • Change Product Color
  • Change Style (switch to a different item, like a polo instead of a hoodie)
  • Start Over if you want to reset your design completely

✍️ Add Text, Clip Art, or Upload Your Own Art

Use the left-hand tabs to customize your item:

  • Add Text – Type what you want printed or embroidered, then position and style it
  • Clip Art – Choose from a library of built-in graphics
  • My Art – Upload your own files, such as a company logo or event artwork

You can adjust, move, rotate, and layer elements on the preview image — whether you’re customizing a blanket, shirt, or baseball cap.

âś… What Happens After You Order?

Every order goes through a proof and approval process.
You’ll receive an email with a visual proof and can also review it in the Customer Center.

Our expert production team will:

  • Make sure your design is centered and sized correctly
  • Review file quality and layout
  • Contact you if anything needs adjustment

đź”— Uploading Artwork?

For best results, be sure to review our Artwork and File Guidelines before uploading your design.

That guide covers:

  • Accepted file types (PNG, AI, PDF, etc.)
  • Background removal
  • Maximum file size
  • Print resolution tips
  • What works best for embroidery

Our artists review every order before printing, but starting with a good file makes everything faster and easier!
