Custom apparel just got a major upgrade. At AllDayShirts.com, we’re excited to unveil our brand-new Mockup Feature, a powerful tool designed to give customers full control over how their printed products will look before they place an order. Whether you're designing uniforms, promotional tees, or streetwear for your brand, this new feature helps bridge the gap between concept and reality.
In this comprehensive blog post, we’ll explore what the new mockup tool is, how it works, why it matters, and how it will help you avoid common mistakes in the custom ordering process. We’ll also share a few expert tips to ensure your next order is perfect from start to finish.
The Mockup Feature is an online visual tool integrated directly into the AllDayShirts.com platform. It allows users to upload artwork, position it on a garment, adjust sizing and placement, and view a real-time digital preview of the final product.
Think of it as a virtual dressing room for your designs. You can:
Upload logos or graphics
Resize, rotate, and position your design
Preview on various garment styles and colors
Adjust placement by sleeve, chest, or back
Save and submit the mockup for production
This feature supports the full customization experience across t-shirts, hoodies, polos, hats, and more.
Designing custom apparel isn't just about choosing the right fabric or printing method. It’s about visualizing the final result—and that’s where mockups come in.
Visual Accuracy: See exactly where your design will appear.
Size Precision: Avoid surprises related to print size and scale.
Fewer Errors: Helps prevent placement or sizing mistakes that are hard to correct later.
Faster Approval: Share mockups with teams or clients for fast approval.
Confidence in Ordering: Know what you’re getting before you buy.
Many first-time customers assume a design will print just as it appears on their screen. Unfortunately, without a mockup, misunderstandings can happen. Our tool eliminates that confusion.
Creating your own apparel mockup on AllDayShirts.com is easy:
Choose Your Product: Browse our catalog and select your preferred style (e.g., Gildan 500, Bella+Canvas 3001, etc.).
Click “Mockup” On the bottom right of the product picture: You’ll enter the mockup builder directly.
Upload Your Art: Drag and drop your image or logo file.
Adjust Placement: Resize, rotate, and position it on the garment.
Preview & Save: Review your design from all angles. Make changes if needed.
This intuitive process makes designing merchandise accessible even if you’re not a graphic designer.
To help users get the best possible result, we've integrated the mockup tool to prevent some of the Top 10 Printing Mistakes:
Misaligned Logos: Use guides to center and align your art.
Wrong Placement: Preview front, back, or sleeves for best location.
Poor Resolution: Tool alerts you if your file is too low-res.
Color Conflicts: See your design on different shirt colors to check contrast.
Incorrect Sizing: Scale your artwork visually to avoid it looking too small or oversized.
By providing a live visual interface, the mockup builder reduces guesswork and makes custom design more precise.
