T-Shirts on Litbuy

Understanding blanks, print methods, and sizing quirks for T-shirt entries on Litbuy spreadsheets.

T-shirts are the entry point for many spreadsheet users. They are relatively low-risk, but quality still varies significantly depending on the blank used, the print method, and the accuracy of graphic placement. This guide walks you through what separates a well-documented tee entry from a vague one.

Print Trends in 2026

Screen-printed vintage washes and cracked-effect graphics remain popular. DTG (direct-to-garment) is common for complex multicolor designs. Look for entries that specify the print technique and curing process — these tend to hold up better after washing.

T-Shirt QC Quick List

1. Does the blank match known retail weights? 2. Is the print placement measured from collar to graphic center? 3. Are color codes referenced? 4. Is the neck label accurate? 5. Does the entry mention pre-shrunk treatment?

Frequently Asked Questions

Do T-shirts shrink after washing?
Cotton tees may shrink 3-5% if not pre-shrunk. Check the listing for pre-shrunk or sanforized notes. Blended fabrics shrink less.
What is the difference between screen print and DTG?
Screen print sits on top of the fabric and lasts longer. DTG soaks into the fibers and can fade faster but handles gradients and photos better.
