What it is for
A T-shirt is the most-worn thing anyone owns, which makes it the gift most likely to be seen. It is also the most forgiving to design for: a flat, generous front panel and a fabric that takes ink well.
Fit varies more between T-shirt cuts than between brands of mug; if the person has a shirt they wear constantly, measure that one against the size guide.
Dye sublimation
Sublimation prints the design onto transfer paper with dye ink; heat then turns the dye into a gas that bonds into a polyester coating or polyester fibre.
Colour becomes part of the surface rather than a layer on top, so it is vivid and does not crack or peel. It cannot print white: white in a design shows as the colour of the item itself, which is why sublimated items are white or pale.
There is no texture at all — on fabric you cannot feel the print, and on a mug it is under a smooth coating.
Designs that suit it
A single image centred on the chest, a short line of type, or a photo treated as a print all read well from across a room. Keep anything important out of the armpit seams and the bottom few centimetres, which fold out of sight when it is tucked or worn.
The print area is on the front: 2,972 × 4,144 pixels, about 9.9 × 13.8 in at 300 dpi — a tall, portrait area. The studio generates the design at that size, so it is printed from a full-resolution file rather than an enlarged preview.
Full-colour photographs, paintings and edge-to-edge patterns. Less suited: designs that rely on white ink, and important detail right at seams, handles or edges where the transfer wraps.

Where it is printed, and when it arrives
It is printed to order in Putian City, Fujian Province, China, then shipped: 5–10 business days to Canada ($7.11 CAD for the first item) and 5–15 business days to the US ($8.07 CAD). Each window counts from the day the order is placed and includes printing.
Because it is printed outside North America, import duties or taxes may apply on arrival.
To arrive by Christmas 2026 with standard shipping, order by December 11 for Canada and December 4 for the US — that is the Men's T-Shirt's own longest window counted back from December 25.

Before you order
How long does the Men's T-Shirt take to arrive?
To Canada, 5–10 business days, with first-item shipping at $7.11 CAD; to the US, 5–15 business days ($8.07 CAD). It is printed to order in Putian City, Fujian Province, China, and the window counts from the day you order, printing included.
Can I put a photo on the Men's T-Shirt?
Yes. Sublimation reproduces photographs in full colour with no texture. White areas print as the item's own colour, so a photo with a white background blends into it. The print file is 2972 × 4144 pixels on the front, so a photo should be at least that size to print sharply.
What sizes does the Men's T-Shirt come in?
9 sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL. The size guide has measurements for each.
When should I order the Men's T-Shirt for Christmas?
With standard shipping, by December 11 to Canada and December 4 to the US. Those dates count this product's longest delivery window back from December 25 in business days. Express shipping at checkout, where it is offered, shortens the window.
How do I look after the Men's T-Shirt?
It is sublimation-printed, and that sets the care. Wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low. No bleach; the colour is in the fibre, so it will not crack.
