When people come to us with an idea for custom shirts, one of the first questions we usually hear is, “What’s the best way to put this design on a shirt?” And honestly, it depends! There are so many different types of shirt decorating, from screen printing and embroidery to DTF transfers, heat pressing, and more. Each method has its own strengths, and the right choice depends on your design, your budget, your timeline, and what kind of finished look you want. At The Awesome Company, we help people figure that out every day. Whether you’re ordering shirts for your business, school, team, fundraiser, family reunion, or just a fun idea you finally want to bring to life, we’re here to make the process easy, creative, and, of course, totally awesome.

One of the things I have learned through building The Awesome Company is that a lot of autistic adults are incredibly capable, hardworking, and detail-oriented, but many workplaces simply are not designed with them in mind. Too often, talented people struggle to find environments where they feel supported, understood, and set up for success.

A lot of people are surprised when I tell them you do not need to order hundreds of shirts to create custom apparel anymore. For a long time, custom printing was mostly built around large bulk orders, which made it difficult for small businesses, families, creators, or individuals who only needed a few pieces. Thankfully, that has changed.

If there is one thing I have learned over the years, it is that a great event T-shirt can completely change the energy of an event. Whether it is a school fundraiser, a nonprofit campaign, or a team competition, having a shared shirt brings people together in a way that just feels different. It creates a sense of unity, makes everything feel more organized, and gives people something they can take with them long after the event is over.

Ordering custom shirts for a big group can feel overwhelming at first. There are sizes to collect, designs to finalize, deadlines to hit, and about a hundred tiny decisions in between.

The good news is that bulk t shirt ordering does not have to be complicated. In fact, when it’s done right, it can be one of the most fun and rewarding parts of planning your event, outfitting your team, or bringing your group together.

There is something about a great group shirt that instantly makes an event feel more fun, more connected, and more memorable. Whether it is a family trip, a fundraiser, a school event, or a company outing, having everyone show up in a shared design brings a different kind of energy to the experience.

April is Autism Awareness Month, and it is a time that means a lot to us here at The Awesome Company. Our mission has always been about more than making great apparel. It is about creating meaningful employment opportunities for autistic adults and building a workplace where neurodiverse talent can thrive. Every day we see firsthand the creativity, focus, and pride our team brings to the work they do.

If there is one thing I have learned after years in custom apparel, it is this. Not all T-shirts are created equal. You can have an incredible design and perfect printing technique, but if the shirt itself is not right, the final result will never feel quite as good as it should. Choosing the best tees for screen printing is one of the most important decisions you will make in the entire process.

If you are new to custom apparel, screen printing can feel a little intimidating at first. I talk to beginners all the time who have great ideas but are not sure where to start or what questions to ask. The truth is, screen printing for beginners does not have to be complicated. Once you understand the basics, it becomes one of the most reliable and rewarding ways to create custom shirts.

If you have ever looked into custom apparel, you have probably come across the term tshirt pressing and wondered what it really means. I talk to customers all the time who are curious about how designs get onto garments and whether pressing is the right option for their project. The good news is that tshirt pressing is one of the most versatile and accessible ways to create high quality custom pieces.

If you have ever tried to figure out how to find a clothing manufacturer, you know it can feel like stepping into a whole new world. There are so many options, different price points, and terms that may not make sense at first. I have worked with brands and organizations at every stage, and what most people really want is a clear path. In this guide, I am going to walk you through seven simple steps that will help you choose the right partner and avoid the common headaches along the way.

We host print parties around holidays with special themes, and the idea is simple. Guests purchase their blank apparel ahead of time, then come to the party and choose from a wide variety of premade designs that match the theme. Our team helps them heat press the designs, and they leave with a totally custom garment they made themselves. No design experience required and no crafting mess to take home.

If you are new to screen printing, you are not alone. I talk to people all the time who are curious about it but feel a little overwhelmed by how technical it sounds. The truth is, screen printing for beginners does not have to be complicated. Once you understand the basics, it is actually a very approachable and rewarding way to create custom apparel.

Autism employment is not just a phrase to us at The Awesome Company. It is the reason we exist. Every day, I get to watch talented autistic adults come to work, take pride in what they do, and grow in confidence because they are doing meaningful, real work. That experience never gets old, and it is why this mission matters so deeply to me.

When people ask me how to put pictures on tshirts, they usually expect a long, technical answer. The truth is, it is much easier than most people think. With today’s printing technology and the right design support, you can turn a photo, illustration, or graphic into a great looking shirt without stress or guesswork.

When people hear the phrase autism in the workplace, they often picture something complicated or unfamiliar. But here at The Awesome Company, it feels natural, joyful, and honestly pretty magical. Our shop is filled with talented autistic adults who take pride in their work, care deeply about quality, and bring an energy that makes this place feel special every single day.

Every year I see companies trying to level up their swag, and it makes me smile because swag has come a long way. We are not in the era of plastic pens and keychains anymore. Cool company swag in 2025 is all about quality, comfort, and design that people actually want to wear or use. When swag feels intentional and well made, it becomes something your team is genuinely proud to show off, not something that gets tossed in a drawer.

At The Awesome Company, we use both traditional screen printing and modern DTF digital printing. Each method has its strengths. The trick is matching the right method to your design, your fabric, and your quantity.
