Custom T-Shirt Printing in Lebanon: 9 Things to Check Before You Order

A custom T-shirt order can be one shirt for yourself or a few hundred for a company, class or event. The printing part is only one piece of the job. Most problems happen earlier: the wrong size mix, artwork that is too small, a deadline nobody discussed, or a quote built around a different quantity than the final order.

If you’re ordering custom T-shirts in Lebanon, here are the decisions worth making before production starts.

1. Start with what the shirt is for

A staff shirt and a one-off birthday T-shirt do not need to solve the same problem.

Before choosing colours or uploading artwork, decide what the garment is actually doing. Is it for everyday staff use? An event? A school class? A sports club? A gift? Merchandise you intend to sell?

That decision affects the garment, the quantity, the artwork placement and how carefully you need to plan sizing. For team or organisation orders, write down the use case before asking for a quote. It makes the rest of the order much easier.

2. Choose the garment before finalising the artwork

The same graphic can feel very different on a T-shirt, hoodie or zip-up. Artwork should be designed for the actual print area rather than dropped onto every garment at the same size.

For example, a centred design has an uninterrupted front area on a regular T-shirt or pullover hoodie, while a zip-up hoodie requires the design to work around the zip or use a different placement.

Choose the garment first, then size the artwork around it. If you are weighing up a hoodie against a sweatshirt, we wrote a comparison of the three blanks.

3. Check the available sizes and colours

Do not build an order around a colour or size until its availability is confirmed. Our core stocked range is available in multiple sizes and colours, subject to current availability.

For group orders, collect the size list early. If you are mixing colours, remember that Sizes and colours of the same garment count together toward its bulk tier. Different garment types are calculated separately.

4. Send the best artwork file you have

A screenshot of a logo is rarely the best source file.

If you have the original vector artwork, send it. PDF, SVG or original vector files are useful because graphics built as vectors can scale without the same pixelation problems as low-resolution images.

For raster artwork, a high-resolution transparent PNG is usually much easier to work with than a small social-media screenshot.

If the only file you have is poor quality, send it anyway and ask before placing the order. It is better to identify the problem before production than after. Our artwork preparation guide covers this in more detail.

5. Decide where the artwork is going

Front only? Back only? Front and back? A small chest mark and a large back design? Make that decision before approving the quote.

One print location is included in the standard product price. A second location adds $4 per piece.

The available print areas depend on the garment, so use the Design Studio preview as a guide rather than assuming every seam, sleeve or edge can be printed.

6. Understand how bulk pricing works

Bulk discounts are based on the quantity of the same garment. Sizes and colours of the same garment count together toward its bulk tier. Different garment types are calculated separately.

If you order the same T-shirt in black, white and several sizes, those quantities count together toward the T-shirt’s tier. But 30 T-shirts and 20 hoodies do not become one 50-piece garment quantity — each garment type is calculated separately.

You can check the current quantity tiers on the Pricing page.

7. Approve the proof carefully

The digital proof is the point where you check the artwork, the spelling, the intended placement, the scale, the garment and the selected colour reference. Do not approve a proof until those details are correct.

Remember that a screen is not the fabric. Your digital proof shows the intended artwork placement, scale and colour reference on the selected garment. Final printed colours may vary slightly from what you see on screen.

8. Separate production time from delivery time

A production estimate is not automatically a door-to-door delivery promise. Standard production takes 3–5 working days from proof approval. Delivery time is additional and depends on location.

If the shirts are for an event, school day or company activation, give us the date the shirts are actually needed. For a time-sensitive order, confirm the deadline before placing it.

9. Get the commercial details in writing for group orders

For larger orders, make sure the quote reflects the final garment, quantity, sizes, colours, artwork locations, production timing and delivery arrangement.

Once the quotation and specification are confirmed, everyone is working from the same order.
