How Do I Add Individual Names to the Back of Custom T-Shirts?

Want to add individual names to the back of your custom T-shirts? Whether you're ordering personalized team shirts, school apparel, employee uniforms, or event T-shirts, Bolt Printing can help you customize each shirt with a different name.

You don't need to create a separate design for every person. Simply add a name placeholder in the Design Studio and provide us with your list of names and corresponding shirt sizes during checkout.

How Do I Add Individual Names to Custom T-Shirts?

Follow these simple steps to set up personalized names on the back of your custom shirts.

Step 1: Add a Name Placeholder in the Design Studio

Start by selecting your custom T-shirt or other apparel product and opening the Bolt Printing Design Studio.

1. Select the back of the garment in the Design Studio.
2. Click the Add Text tool.
3. Type NAME in the text field.
4. Position the placeholder within the available back design area where you'd like the individual names to appear.

The word NAME serves as a placeholder. You don't need to enter every person's name directly into the Design Studio.

If you need help navigating the designer, see our Creating a Design in the Design Studio guide.

Step 2: List Each Name and Shirt Size in Order Comments

When placing your order, locate the Order Comments section during checkout.

Enter the exact name you want printed on each shirt, along with the corresponding size.

For example, your order comments might look like this:

Make sure the names are spelled exactly as you want them printed. If you're ordering multiple shirts in the same size, list each individual name separately.

Step 3: Place Your Order and Receive Personalization Pricing

After entering your names and sizes, continue through the secure checkout process.

Once we receive your order and personalization instructions, our team will determine the appropriate per-name charge and confirm the final personalization cost.

How Much Does It Cost to Add Individual Names to Shirts?

Individual name personalization at Bolt Printing ranges from $7.50 to $10.95 per name.

The exact cost depends on several factors:

• Fabric: The type of garment being customized.
• Quantity: The number of shirts requiring individual names.
• Ink Color: The color used for the personalized lettering.

Because these factors vary by order, your final personalization charges are determined after our team reviews your submitted instructions.

Do I Need to Create a Different Design for Every Name?

No. You can use the word NAME as a placeholder on the back of your garment rather than creating a separate design for every person.

Your order comments tell our team which names should appear on the individual shirts.

This makes it easier to order personalized shirts for sports teams, school groups, staff members, and other organizations with multiple names.

What Should I Double-Check Before Submitting My Name List?

Before completing checkout, carefully review your personalization instructions.

• Spelling: Check every name for typos or missing letters.
• Sizes: Make sure each name is matched with the correct garment size.
• Quantity: Confirm that the number of names matches the number of shirts you want personalized.
• Placement: Verify that your NAME placeholder is positioned appropriately within the back design area.
