How to design your campaign t-shirts in 3 steps
Designing political t-shirts is easy. Customize your shirt in three simple steps: register for Printify, pick an item, and finalize the design. Support your candidate with custom shirts designed to inspire and make an impact.
Choose your campaign shirt style
Printify makes it easy to create political t-shirts. With a huge selection of shirt types, sleeves, styles, sizes, and colors – plus thousands of possible combinations across our Catalog – you're likely to find the perfect shirt to customize for your campaign, all with consistent, quality-checked print standards.
Men's t-shirts
Explore a diverse range of men's campaign shirts, from classic tees to performance styles. Choose from long or short sleeves, crew or V-necks, and a variety of colors and sizes to outfit your whole team.
Women's t-shirts
Fitted, cropped, and V-neck campaign shirts for volunteers who want something other than a boxy unisex tee. Choose lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics for canvassing in the summer heat, or classic cotton for everyday wear.
Kids' t-shirts
Custom kids' t-shirts for lively campaign designs. Made from durable cotton and soft jersey, they offer vibrant, long-lasting prints – great for family campaign events and youth volunteer groups.
Polos, hats, and other campaign merchandise
Shirts are just the start. Browse our Catalog for embroidered polos for your core team, caps and hats for canvassing days, and tote bags or buttons to round out your campaign promotional items. It's an easy way to build out a full line of political campaign merchandise beyond custom campaign shirts alone.
Order campaign shirts in bulk with no minimum
Order campaign shirts in any quantity, from one to hundreds, or place a bulk order of 20 or more from the same Print Provider to unlock an automatic discount on both product cost and shipping.
Will my campaign shirts arrive before Election Day?
Production takes 2-7 business days, and US shipping adds another 2-5 days – though this varies by Print Provider and product. Working against a firm election date? Order a sample first and allow 2-3 weeks total to be safe.
