I often get the question about how or when a custom shape is utilized. We offer hundreds, in fact over 500, stock shapes that are versatile. A light bulb can look like a hot air balloon, or a clown. There are a multitude of categories to choose from including food/beverage, transportation, gaming/sports, the list goes on and on. We also have the basics- the square, circle or disc shape, and rectangles to choose from.
But, sometimes none of these choices hit the mark. For instance, I am working on an order for an automotive company. The surf van they use on their website, and in print has duel purpose. It represents their industry but also their culture, since they are a beach side shop. We went through the transportation shapes to see if their specific van could fit in one of our stock vehicle shapes. The answer was no…we came close but agreed that we wanted an exact fit of their van as the shape. Therefore, we decided to create a custom shape.
So, to answer the question how or when the custom shape is utilized- it’s used to brand your company message, whether the message is promoting your company with an exact fit of your logo in a shape or a specific product that has a unique or new shape to it. Often times a stock shape can convey the message, but in the case where it isn’t the right fit turn to a custom shape to really stand out and make your company memorable.
Custom shapes can be used at any quantity. The mold is free at 3,000 units or more. You can trust that if Tee Compressed doesn’t have the stock shape you are looking for, a custom shape can be created to meet your needs.


I would highly recommend Tee Compressed for the excellent quality of the T-shirts, the speedy turnaround time, their competitive prices and most of all their fantastic personalized service, which made a potentially difficult project a breeze. You are definitely first on my list when it comes to T-shirts.
