Custom Apparel Content Standards

At Ink Tees, we believe custom apparel serves as a powerful tool to unite groups and communities. We understand that while individuality and diverse perspectives are expressed through custom designs, it is essential to balance creative freedom with respect for public sentiment and potential negative impacts.

To achieve this balance, we adhere to specific content standards that guide what Ink Tees will print, may print with modifications, or will not print. These standards are encapsulated in our Stoplight Content System.

Red Light

Designs that will not be printed.

Yellow Light

Designs that may require modifications.

Green Light

Designs that will be printed.

If a design raises concerns, our team will work with you to create an alternative that meets our standards.
