MotorsportFanWear.net is a China-based manufacturer of custom printed racing team shirts, working from your own artwork. Heat-press printing, screen printing and embroidery, with names and numbers at +$2 per piece on top of the base garment. Send your artwork to +86 181 7757 2115 and you get a print costed per piece, not guessed.
What printing and decoration methods can be applied to racing team shirts?
Three methods cover nearly everything buyers ask for on this line. Heat-press printing handles names, numbers and flat graphics. Screen printing suits larger single-colour blocks. Embroidery is available on polo shirts and crew necks. Team badges, sponsor blocks, chest marks and sleeve marks are all placed from your own artwork.
The method follows the design rather than the other way round. A number is built differently from a badge, and the two can sit on the same garment without interfering with each other.
What artwork files do you need before printing?
Vector is the file to send: AI, SVG or EPS. Vector artwork scales to any print size without losing an edge, and it lets the colours be separated cleanly before anything is cut.
- AI, SVG or EPS for logos, badges and sleeve marks - preferred format.
- High-resolution PNG with a transparent background if no vector version exists.
- Names typed out exactly as they should read, with the number wanted for each one.
- Placement notes: chest, back, sleeve or front, or a marked-up photo of the garment.
Send the name list in a typed file rather than an image, because the spelling you send is the spelling that gets pressed.
How much does name and number printing cost per shirt?
Names and numbers add $2 per piece. That single line covers a name of up to 20 characters plus the number, applied by heat press. It does not change with the length of the name within that limit.
Badges, sleeve marks and embroidery are quoted per piece from the artwork, because the cost depends on stitch count and how many colours the design separates into. F1 jackets and race suits sit outside the base price ladder and are quoted per order.
How far can colours and print placement be customised?
Placement is open: front, back, upper back, sleeve, chest or a combination of those, scaled to the garment size so the mark reads the same on an XS as on a 4XL. Send the artwork and tell us where it goes, or mark it on a photo.
For colour, send a reference with the artwork and the print is matched to it. Flat graphics hold colour more consistently than gradients, and a design that works in embroidery may need adjusting for screen print, so the artwork is checked before production rather than after.
How much longer does printing add to production?
Blank stock ships in 7-10 days. Garments that carry printing run 10-15 days, because the print stage happens after the shirt is cut and sewn and each piece is pressed individually.
Freight time does not change. Transit is the same DHL door-to-door 5-12 days either way, so the extra days sit at the front of the order, not in the middle of it.
If a deadline is tight, say so on WhatsApp at +86 181 7757 2115 and the print schedule can be planned against it before you commit.
What happens if a print comes out wrong?
Every piece is inspected before it is packed, and you should still spot-check the shipment when it lands. If a print is faulty, misaligned or not what the artwork specified, photograph it within 14 days of arrival and it is replaced or credited against your next order.
The cheaper protection sits earlier in the process. Type the names out, list the numbers, and confirm both against the Proforma Invoice before the print run starts. Questions on a specific design go to +86 181 7757 2115 and get answered against your file, not in general terms.
