A great T-shirt design is only as good as the material it’s printed on. If you create a popular design, but then print it on a scratchy, uncomfortable T-shirt, your audience won’t want to wear it. That’s why it’s important to choose the right T-shirt style for your design. To create an item everyone will love, you need to think about comfort, durability, fit, and style, plus T-shirt brands. What does your specific audience want?  

Don’t miss out on your design’s full potential. Before you place your next order, make sure you’re choosing the right shirt FIRST. Here are a few of the bestselling options from five popular T-shirt brands.
