How to Order Custom Graphic T-Shirts Online: A Step-by-Step Guide
From picking a design to getting it shipped — everything you need to know before you check out.
Ordering a custom graphic t-shirt online should be simple — but most people hesitate before checkout because they aren't sure how sizing, design uploads, or bulk pricing actually work. This guide walks through exactly how to order custom shirts online with Chaparral Graphics, from browsing a collection to getting your order shipped, so there's no guesswork before you buy.
Whether you're picking a design straight from our catalog or want to custom design your own shirt, the process below covers every step.
The Ordering Process, Step by Step
Browse the Catalog or Choose a Collection
Start by exploring our full catalog, or jump straight into a themed line like the Patriotic Collection, Spiritual Motivation Collection, or Aliens Among Us Collection. Every design is organized by theme, so it's easy to find something that fits the occasion — or the person you're shopping for.
Decide Between Standard and Premium
Each design is available in two build qualities: an everyday Standard tee, or a heavier, richer-print Premium tee. If you're not sure which fits your order, our Standard vs. Premium guide breaks down the difference in under a minute.
Use Your Own Design (Optional)
Want something that isn't in the catalog? We accept customer-supplied artwork and logos. Please contact us through our contact page before ordering so we can review your design and confirm whether we can print it, along with pricing and estimated turnaround.
Select Your Size — Up to 3XL
Available sizes vary by design. For 3XL, please contact us before ordering to confirm availability and pricing. If you're unsure which size to pick, check the size chart on each product page before adding to cart.
Ordering for a Group, Team, or School?
For bulk or group orders, contact us before checkout with your quantity, size breakdown, and design requirements. We’ll confirm availability, pricing, and an estimated turnaround time before you order.
Custom and bulk orders qualify for free Standard shipping within the US. Express and international shipping are charged separately.
Checkout and Confirmation
Once your size and design are selected, checkout works like any standard online order — you'll get a confirmation email with order details, and our team handles the rest. For custom-design or bulk orders, we may follow up by email to confirm final artwork before printing begins.
If anything about sizing, artwork files, or bulk pricing isn't clear, message us directly through the contact page before placing your order — we're happy to walk through it with you.
