For most races, moisture wicking t-shirts (performance fabrics) feel cooler and dry faster. Cotton can be comfortable for casual wear, but it tends to hold sweat. If you want the most “race-ready” option, choose performance; if re-wear comfort is the priority, cotton or blends can be a good fit.

Earlier is better, especially if you need sponsor backs or personalization. The biggest timing drivers are proof approval speed and garment availability. If you share your deadline up front, we’ll guide the fastest plan without guessing.

Yes—this is one of the most common race layouts. Front and back print race t-shirts work best when the front is kept simple and the back is reserved for sponsors and key messaging. We’ll structure spacing so logos don’t look cramped.

It depends on logo shapes and the minimum readable size for your audience. A smaller number of larger logos usually looks cleaner and photographs better than many tiny marks. We can propose a sponsor grid that balances visibility with readability.

Yes. We look at contrast, spacing, and sizing so race t-shirts with sponsor logos don’t turn into a cluttered collage. When needed, we’ll suggest simplifying the layout or standardizing logo colors for a cleaner back print.

Often, yes—especially for check-in, water stations, and route support. A distinct volunteer color improves visibility and makes coordination easier during peak moments. We can also add role labels like “Volunteer,” “Crew,” or station names.

Personalization may be available depending on garment type, print method, and timeline. If you provide a clean roster, we can format names in a consistent style and size. We’ll also advise what stays readable at a distance.

In many cases, yes. Bib numbers work best when they’re large enough and placed consistently (typically back upper or back center). If you’re providing a roster, include bib numbers in the same sheet so we can keep it organized.

Absolutely—most race orders include a full run of sizes. The key is a consolidated size list tied to one approved proof. For distribution, we can optionally sort by role/group if you need faster handout.

Vector files (AI/EPS/SVG/PDF) are ideal because they scale cleanly. High-resolution PNG can work if it’s sharp and large enough. If a logo is blurry or too small, we may recommend requesting a better file to protect print quality.

We send a proof showing placement, sizing, and layout before production starts. You’ll check readability, spelling, sponsor order, and contrast. Once you approve, we print—so the proof step is where we lock accuracy.

Yes, when the design is matched to the right method and garment. We’ll recommend care instructions based on fabric and print type. Performance garments often do best with low heat and inside-out washing for longevity.

It depends on your artwork and quantity. Screen printed race t-shirts are strong for bold graphics and high-volume sets, while DTF race t-shirts or DTG race t-shirts are great for complex logos and multi-color detail. We’ll recommend the best fit after reviewing your files.

Minimums vary by method and garment. Some options are more practical for small quantities, while others shine for bulk. Tell us your quantity range and design needs, and we’ll suggest the most efficient route.

Rush may be possible depending on inventory, design readiness, and proof approval speed. We’ll confirm feasibility before committing to a timeline. If your sponsor list is still changing, that can reduce rush viability.

Often yes. We can save your setup so reorders don’t start from scratch, though garment availability can change over time. Keeping the same art files and placement notes helps make reorders smooth.

Yes. For larger orders, sorting by role (runner/volunteer), group, or size can make distribution faster. If you have a pickup plan, tell us how you’ll hand out shirts and we’ll recommend the best sorting approach.

Pricing depends on garment type, print method, number of print locations, personalization, and quantity. Sponsor-heavy backs and multiple placements typically add cost, while higher quantities often reduce per-item pricing. The fastest way to get accurate pricing is a custom race t-shirt quote with your quantity range and design notes.
