Quick answer: Yes, you can order just one custom T-shirt. No-minimum printing methods like DTG, DTF and sublimation do not need screens or per-color setup, so a single shirt can be printed with the same quality as a large batch. At Digital Prints On T-Shirts, we offer DTG, DTF and sublimation printing with no minimum order.
Why do some print shops require minimum orders?
Traditional screen printing needs a separate screen for each color, plus setup time for every job. Those costs only make sense when they are spread across many shirts, so screen print shops often set a minimum of 12, 24 or more pieces. Digital printing works differently: the design goes straight from the computer to the printer or film, with no screens to prepare.
How does no-minimum printing work?
With digital methods, each shirt is printed from a digital file. That means:
- No screens or setup per color: a one-color logo and a full-color photo are handled the same way.
- One shirt is as easy as one hundred: the process does not change with quantity.
- Different designs in one order: you can print different artwork on different shirts.
- Test before you scale: order one sample, then reorder more once you are happy.
Which printing method is best for a single shirt?
| Method | Best for | Fabric | Minimum at our shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| DTG | Photos and detailed, full-color art | 100% cotton or high-cotton | None |
| DTF | Bold graphics on varied fabrics | Cotton, polyester, blends | None |
| Sublimation | All-over designs, jerseys, sportswear | Light-colored polyester | None |

How to order just one custom T-shirt
- Choose your shirt: pick the garment, color and size. Cotton works best for DTG; polyester and blends work well with DTF.
- Prepare your design: use a high-resolution PNG or a vector file. Photos should be sharp and large enough for the print size.
- Pick your printing method: choose DTG, DTF or sublimation based on your fabric and design, or ask us to recommend one.
- Place your order: upload your design and order from Digital Prints On T-Shirts. We review your file and let you know if anything needs to be adjusted.
Who orders single custom shirts?
- Gifts: birthdays, anniversaries and personalized presents.
- Events: family reunions, bachelorette parties and celebrations.
- Small businesses: samples and test designs before a bigger order.
- Teams and groups: a prototype before ordering for everyone.
- Creators and brands: on-demand merchandise without holding inventory.
What if I want to order more later?
Since there are no minimums, you can start with one shirt and increase your quantity whenever you are ready. Many customers order a single sample first to check the color, size and print quality, then place a larger order with the same design.
How do I care for my custom shirt?
Turn the shirt inside out, wash it in cold water on a delicate cycle, air-dry it away from direct sunlight and avoid ironing directly over the printed area.

Can I order just one custom T-shirt?
Yes. At Digital Prints On T-Shirts there are no minimums, so you can order a single shirt or a large batch.
Is a single custom shirt more expensive per piece?
Digital printing has no screen or color setup, so a single shirt is practical to produce. Pricing depends on the garment, print size and method, so check the product page or contact us for a quote.
Which printing method should I use for one shirt?
For cotton shirts with detailed designs, DTG is a great choice. For polyester, blends or bold graphics, choose DTF. For jerseys and sportswear, choose sublimation.
Can I print different designs in the same order?
Yes. Because each shirt is printed from a digital file, you can mix different designs, sizes and colors in one order.
What file should I send?
