01 / Design directions

The fit comes before the print.

Choose a silhouette as the starting point, then specify the measurements and finishing. The concepts below illustrate options, not stocked blanks or finished customer orders.

02 / Material decisions

Choose by feel.
Confirm by sample.

A fabric name is a starting point, not a full specification. Bring the desired look and feel; review the actual material before committing to the garment.

Material directions for t-shirts
DirectionWhat it changesWhat to confirm
Cotton jerseyA starting point for everyday tees and printed collections.Compare surface smoothness, opacity and post-wash dimensions.
Heavier jerseyA direction when a more substantial silhouette is wanted.Check drape and breathability rather than choosing by GSM alone.
PiqueA textured fabric direction for polos.Approve the collar and placket together with the main fabric.

Confirm composition, weight, color, care and any required supporting documents as part of your material brief.

03 / Before sampling

Put the important details in writing.

Use these checkpoints to turn an image into a clearer development brief.

Send your references
  1. Fit block

    Use measurements to distinguish a regular, boxy or oversized body.

  2. Neck finish

    Confirm neck rib, taping and seam finish on the sample, including after care.

  3. Fabric & wash

    Compare opacity, twisting and dimensional change using an agreed care method.

  4. Print placement

    Place artwork on the actual size and fabric; approve color, scale and handfeel.

  5. Preparing a crewneck sample? Use our T-shirt neck rib brief to define the collar material, finished width and review conditions.

05 / Sample review

What should a T-shirt sample confirm?

Use one sample record to connect the fit block, jersey, neck rib and artwork. State the measurement points and care conditions before reviewing neck shape, opacity, seam alignment and dimensional change. Check print size and placement on the sizes that matter to the design. Photograph actual observations and record requested changes against the sample ID. Approve the garment and specification together, with any unchecked items clearly listed.

Brief and sample notes

Use what you know and leave undecided details open. Copy or download your notes when you are ready.

Decoration selected: Puff printing

This technique has been added to your brief. Edit the requirements below; suitability still needs review on your actual fabric and artwork.

Build your quotation brief

Use the same brief when comparing quotes so materials, finishing and delivery assumptions stay comparable.

Project information

Include composition, weight, colour and finish if known; otherwise describe the intended feel and appearance.

State the size range, key measurements and measurement method. Mark any details still to be developed.

Write your intended colour and size breakdown so the quote can be reviewed against your brief.

Include artwork size and placement, fastening details and the packing you want quoted.

List undecided details and ask what is included or separate: sampling, testing, inspection, packing and freight.

Record a sample review

Record what was specified, what you observed and what needs another check. These are your working notes, not a test report or an automatic approval.

Sample reference
Specification

Record the specification version, materials, measurement points and any agreed care or test conditions.

Observation

Use actual measurements with units and reference your own photos. Record anything that has not been checked.

Correction

Describe one specific change per line and who will confirm it. Keep unchanged details tied to the same specification.

Recheck

Record the recheck evidence, remaining issues and the person and date for any written decision. Leave unresolved items open.

Before bulk production, agree which sample and specification version form the final approval reference, including the intended materials and finishing.

06 / Quote questions

Before you send
the brief.

Is GSM enough to choose T-shirt fabric?

No. Composition, yarn, knitting and finishing also affect how a tee feels and hangs. Use a physical swatch and a sample garment to compare the result.

Can one graphic work across every size?

It can, but confirm its dimensions and placement relative to the neckline and seams. Review the smallest and largest sizes rather than approving only one sample size.

How are pricing and bulk production timing confirmed?

Pricing and bulk production timing are confirmed in your order-specific quote after reviewing the style, fabric availability, decoration and quantity.

Can I discuss a design without a finished tech pack?

Yes. Send a sketch or reference image with the measurements and details you already know. Identify what is still undecided so the next sample-development steps can be discussed.

Can the order be split across colours and sizes?

Send the total quantity and your proposed breakdown by style, colour and size. The feasible split and any conditions are reviewed for your project and confirmed in the written quote.

What should I compare in a manufacturing quote?

Compare the same specification version, materials, decoration, labels, packaging and quantity breakdown. Ask which sample, testing, inspection and freight costs are included or separate, and confirm the destination, quote validity and production timing in writing.
