How to choose the right Halloween design
- Match the shirt color. Pastel and coquette designs look best on white and cream. Neon designs need black or dark shirts.
- Think about who will wear it. Teachers and kids prefer cute ghosts, adults love funny or retro horror, and moms go for coquette and "mama" designs.
- Print early. DTF and sublimation orders pile up in mid-October. Order or print your Halloween shirts at least two weeks before the party.
Sublimation vs DTF for Halloween shirts
Sublimation gives a soft, no-feel print but only works on light polyester shirts. DTF transfers work on cotton and dark shirts, which makes them the better choice for neon designs on black tees. All our PNG files are 300 DPI with transparent backgrounds, so they work with both methods.
