Frequently Asked Questions
What are the minimum order quantities for custom printing on the American Apparel 1301 tee?+
PrintHabit works with low minimums for all decoration methods. If you choose screen printing, the run must be at least 24 shirts per design. DTF and dye‑sublimation have the same low minimums as our standard orders.
Which decoration methods can I use on this shirt and how do they differ?+
You can decorate the 1301 with DTF, screen printing, or dye‑sublimation. DTF prints crisp detail on both dark and light colors and is great for small runs. Screen printing is the most cost‑effective for larger batches and solid‑color artwork. Dye‑sublimation delivers full‑color, edge‑to‑edge prints but works best on the polyester‑blended color options.
