How to Personalise a T-Shirt in 5 Easy Steps

Thursday 31 October 2019 (modified Wednesday 10 November 2021) by Robert Joyce

If you’re looking to stand out from the crowd, then you need to go personalised. You can personalise your t-shirts with your designs — whether it’s your name, a logo or an image which means something to you.


Personalised t-shirts are a great way to express yourself. No more conforming to boring trends, no more cookie-cutter designs that leave you looking the same as everyone else. With a unique, printed t-shirt, your style can be as individual as you are. Personalised t-shirts are also ideal for stag dos, hen dos, university societies, promotional uniforms as well as everyday fashionable wear. 


Taking control of your look has never been easier than with Yazzoo. We have over 30 years of experience supplying printed t-shirts, so you can trust us to deliver clothing that you’ll be excited to wear. You don’t need master sewing skills or a team of designers to create incredible personalised t-shirts, as our process is streamlined and easy to use.

Step 4: Upload Your Design

Step 5: Select Your Delivery Date & Rock Your T-Shirt


In this post, we break down the process of getting your personalised t-shirts into five simple steps. It really couldn’t be easier!


Step 1: Create Your Design

Let’s get creative. There’re truly no limits to your design — whether you’re looking to emblazon your t-shirts with a brand logo, the names of your squad, or even an image of your face, your design is completely up to you. But if you do need a helping hand, our team is available to advise you on how to create awesome personalised designs through our online chat box, which is manned by a real person from 8am-10pm every weekday.


Depending on your design, we can also help you to select the best printing or embroidery technique. 


Screen Printing 



If you’re looking to purchase a big batch of personalised t-shirts for your business or society, then screen printing is the most economical choice for you. Screen works by bringing ink into contact with a garment through a mesh in the shape of your design, one colour at a time. We often opt for this technique for orders of 50 pieces or more, as it allows us to process your order quickly and efficiently — all the while keeping your designs looking fresh. 


Vinyl Printing 


We love vinyl printing for its short set-up time, intense, opaque colouring and its unfalteringly reliable results. We have scoured the industry for the best vinyl material to provide a thinner finish that feels like its more part of the garment than some of the standard vinyl's out there, that could probably stop bullets!


Digital Printing 


If you’re looking to personalise your t-shirts with a photograph or detailed image, then digital printing is your best bet. Digital printing reproduces high detail multicolour images in incredible quality and maintains all gradient and shading details by using a CMYK process much like your desktop printer at home.


Embroidery 


Are you looking for something truly unique and durable? Look no further than embroidery. Our embroidery machines can recreate your image or text using needle and thread. You’ll love it for the vibrant colours and art-like stitches which transform any garment — and embroidery is also the best choice for multiple wears due to its robust and durable nature. 


Step 2: Choose Your Base T-Shirt 



Once you’ve got your design locked and loaded, it’s time to choose which t-shirt you want to use as the base for your designs. At Yazzoo, we have a broad range of t-shirts to choose from. We have unisex, men’s, ladies, kids and baby t-shirts available in a variety of styles. Fancy being more socially conscious — why not try our fair trade t-shirts? Want something to workout in? Our sports t-shirts are just the ticket.


Whether you’re looking for a budget option or a luxury purchase, long-sleeved, short-shirt, V-neck or vests — all of our t-shirts are made from high-quality fabrics and are stylish and comfy to wear. 


We also offer t-shirts in a range of colours so that you can find the perfect hue for your business or purpose. The colour you choose is important, as colour projects a psychological signal to others about who you are. For example, navy blue denotes authority, dependability, and loyalty, while red conveys strength and leadership and green exudes security, abundance and balance. Colours evoke emotional, behavioural and physical responses, So pick your colour wisely! 


Step 3: Get a Quote


At Yazzoo, we like to do things a little differently. Unlike our competitors, we don’t expect you to wait around for your unique quote — we do it straight away before any payment is made. We also don't need to know what colours and sizes you want to give you your price. Use our tool to upload your details and design and our website will create an instant quote for you on the fly. We do require an email address at this point, but this is only so that we can email you the quote link so that you can come back to it at any point later. Your quote is also your order, so if you want to add certain sizes and colours to your order, our website will save them for later for you. You can then use your link to come back at any time and finish it off.


Need to clothe a crowd? We’ve got you covered! We offer incredible bulk discounts so that you get bang for your buck, however many personalised t-shirts you need. 


Step 4: Upload Your Design



By step four, you’ve got your design and your foundation t-shirt ready — and now it’s time to sample your personalised t-shirt. We have an easy-to-use upload feature which allows you to quickly and effectively project your design onto your t-shirt so that you can see what your personalised t-shirt looks like before you commit to it — for no extra fee! If you require any amendments to your artwork such as removing a background, please write them into our handy notes box, and our graphics design team will sort these out for you once the order is placed.


Step 5: Select Your Delivery Date & Rock Your Personalised T-Shirts 


Select the date that you want your hoodies to be delivered — and, hey presto, we’ll make sure that you get them on time. And that’s it — your dream personalised t-shirt in five simple steps. All that’s left to do is to rock the t-shirt and take some expertly posed pictures!
