An alarm clock sneaking away, printed on a single made-to-order t-shirt
You want one custom shirt. The printer wants to sell you twelve. Here is why that happens, and how print-on-demand makes one-off custom apparel practical.

Why minimums exist
Traditional screen printing needs setup work before the first shirt is printed. That setup makes a tiny order relatively expensive, so printers often set minimum quantities.
What changed
Direct-to-garment and other print-on-demand workflows allow the garment to be printed after purchase, making single-item ordering practical without buying a bulk run.

"No minimum" is not always what it sounds like
Before ordering one shirt, check for setup fees, artwork fees, shipping charges and quantity-based pricing. Compare the true total cost, not only the advertised base price.
What one custom shirt should cost
Wearlie currently lists printed T-shirts starting at $19.99. Current prices vary by garment, size and option; check the custom T-shirt collection for live products.
When one shirt is the right call
- A gift. A private joke rarely needs a dozen copies.
- Testing a design. Order one first, then decide whether you want a larger run.
- Something just for you. One-off personal apparel is exactly where no-minimum services are useful.

The tradeoff
No-minimum print-on-demand can take longer than picking up a mass-produced shirt because the garment is produced after you order. Check current production and delivery estimates before ordering.
