Your burning T-shirt design FAQs, answered
What will I get with my T- Shirt Design?
Everything you need to move to production. Your T-shirt design will be provided in the correct formats for printing, including production-ready Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, PDF, or EPS files.
Additionally, you’ll receive the full legal copyright, ensuring the design is entirely yours
What do I need to prepare for my T-Shirt Design?
Lots of ideas! Get inspired by exploring past T-shirt designs created by our design community. Provide as many specifics as possible, including T-shirt sizes, style, number of colors, printable dimensions, printing requirements, and any other details that might impact your design. The more information you share, the better our designers can create the perfect T-shirt for you!
Can i use my own images on my T-shirt Design?
What if I need more than one t-shirt design?
Your custom T-shirt design contest includes one winning design. If you need an additional T-shirt design, you have several options: you can award multiple winners in your contest, run a second contest, or start a 1-to-1 project with your winning designer to create more designs.
Which package should I choose for my T-shirt Design?
We guarantee you’ll receive a great T-shirt design at any pricing level, but our higher-priced packages offer more design options and enhanced support.
Here’s how it works: Higher payments mean a larger prize for the winning designer, attracting more experienced designers to your design. This results in a wider selection of high-quality designs. Reviewing more options can be time-consuming, which is why our Gold and Platinum packages include dedicated managers to streamline the process by writing creative briefs and providing feedback to designers.
When choosing your custom T-shirt contest package, consider how much time you can commit and your experience with writing briefs and working with designers. If you’re unsure, contact us for a design consultation.
How can I get my design printed on T- shirts?
It’s easy! Once you’ve chosen a winning T-shirt design, you’ll receive ready-to-go files to send to a printer.
We recommend VistaPrint for all your printing needs — shocking, we know. They’ve printed billions of business cards (literally), so they know a thing or two about fast and easy service. Of course, if you want to use your own favorite printer, you can do that, too!
Who owns what copyright and when?
On 99designs, designers agree to upload only original artwork, retaining the rights to their designs until you select a winner. During the design handover stage, the designer transfers the rights to you, making you the owner of the copyright for your winning T-shirt design.
Is there really a money back guarantee?
