Houston Custom Apparel: Avoid These 5 Common Mistakes

July 16, 2025

Ordering custom shirts or embroidery? Avoid these Houston-specific mistakes to get great results the first time.

1. Skipping Fabric & Climate Matching

Houston’s heat and humidity affect shirt comfort and print longevity. Always choose moisture-wicking blends and humidity-tested inks to prevent shrinkage, cracking, or fading.

2. Ignoring Color Consistency

Pantone mismatches or washed-out prints kill brand identity. Ask for fabric swatches and mock-ups to confirm thread and ink colors look good both on screen and in person.

3. Underestimating Print Longevity

Low-quality inks peel, crack, and fade fast. Choose reputable ink types—like quality plastisol or water-based—designed to last Houston-level wear and wash cycles.

4. Forgetting Proper Artwork Formatting

JPEGs and low-res files cause blurry prints. Always request vector art or high-res files—and check embroidery digitization before committing to big orders.

5. Not Checking Reorder & Turnaround Options

Custom orders aren’t meant to be one-off. Set up reorder templates and clarify turnaround timeframes—so you’re never caught off-guard when restocking or on deadline.

Avoid these mistakes and get high-quality, durable custom apparel that elevates your brand in Houston.
