Introduction

Ordering custom shirts for your Halloween fundraiser or costume-themed company event is an exciting way to build team spirit and promote your cause. At Underground Printing, we specialize in custom apparel that can make your event stand out with unique and creative designs. This guide will walk you through the steps to order the perfect custom shirts, from selecting styles to placing your order and ensuring timely delivery.

Step 1: Define Your Event Needs and Goals

Before diving into designs and shirt styles, it's important to clarify the purpose of your custom shirts and the scope of your event.

• Purpose: Is the shirt a giveaway, a fundraiser item, or a costume component? This helps determine style and cost considerations.
• Quantity: Estimate how many shirts you need. For large orders, you can take advantage of bulk orders to get better pricing.
• Budget: Set a budget that covers apparel, printing techniques, and any extras you might want.
• Timeline: Know when the shirts are needed. If you require a quick turnaround, our 2-day rush delivery can help you meet tight deadlines.

Step 2: Choose the Right Shirt Style for Your Event

Choosing the perfect shirt style sets the foundation for your event apparel. Consider the weather, theme, and comfort.

• Custom T-Shirts: Classic and versatile, ideal for most events.
• Long Sleeve T-Shirts: Great for cooler fall weather around Halloween.
• Short Sleeve T-Shirts: Perfect for indoor events or warmer locations.
• Custom Hoodies or custom sweatshirts: Cozy options for chillier nights or outdoor events.
• Tie-Dye & Camo T-Shirts: Add a fun and spooky flair that fits the Halloween theme.
• For a playful costume look, consider custom crop tops or custom hats as accessories.

Step 3: Design Your Custom Halloween Shirts

The design is your chance to showcase the theme and spirit of your event.

• Theme and Imagery: Incorporate Halloween icons like pumpkins, ghosts, or bats, or use your company's branding with a spooky twist.
• Color Choices: Go for traditional Halloween colors such as orange, black, purple, or green to make your shirts stand out.
• Printing Method: Choose from screen printing for vibrant and durable colors, embroidery for a premium stitched look, or DTG (direct-to-garment printing) for complex, full-color designs like photos or detailed artwork.
• Customization: Personalize shirts with participant names or team numbers if applicable.
• Use Underground Printing’s design resources or work with their design team to create a unique look that will enchant your crowd.
