Frequently Asked Questions

What makes TS Designs t-shirts special?

TS Designs has set out to make the highest quality and most sustainable t-shirts on the planet. We work with brands who want to provide their customers with responsibly made clothing that’s easy on the environment.

We manufacture, print, and dye our own line of premium, sustainable, made-in-the-USA t-shirts. In addition, we do pioneering R&D to improve the apparel industry, including developing our own eco-friendly water-based REHANCE print process that has a super-soft no-print feel.

Since we garment dye our t-shirts, they are preshrunk and fit great, even after multiple washes. Jokingly we like to say if the shirt does not fit in six months, it is not the shirt’s fault. TS Designs t-shirts are some of the softest, sturdiest, longest-lasting t-shirts you can find—all while supporting American jobs and the environment.

How much do your t-shirts cost?

We provide a custom quote for each printing job. Larger run orders typically use the REHANCE screen print process. Direct to Garment (DTG) printing for smaller runs and full color. The price per t-shirt varies depending on the options you choose, including the number of print colors, print locations, and order quantity. In general, more complex printing will mean a higher t-shirt price. Additional fees apply for screen setup, custom artwork design, and shipping. We require a 50% deposit and the remaining balance is due within 10 days after the order ships.

REHANCE (screen-printed): Cost starts at $13 (un-dyed, one color, one location), including printing and garment dyeing. DTG printed shirts begin at $20.

What is the minimum order quantity for your t-shirts?

REHANCE (Screenprint): Minimum 100 units (white) or 200 units (dyed), Assorted sizes.

DTG (Direct to Garment): Minimum of 12 units (white) or 24 units (dyed), Assorted Sizes.

Print on Demand: Minimum 1

How long will it take to get my t-shirts once I place an order?

REHANCE: Once the artwork and quote have been approved and payment received, our turnaround time is 3-5 weeks.

DTG and Print on Demand: In-stock shirt colors (black and white) can be ready in 3-5 days! Custom colors take 2-3 weeks.
