Water based ink is the point between here and heaven. Paired with our Super Soft Tees, the nonexistent feel of our Water based ink is magical and sure to be the talk of the town with you and your group.

Here at Sunday Cool, we inventory 66 different ink colors! These colors were curated based off of customer popularity and diversity. You can view those stock ink colors below.

During the ordering process, you can reference this page to view all of our stocked ink colors. You’ll also be served up a choice of our stock inks when you submit your Art Request Form.

But what if none of the Sunday Cool Stock Inks match my design or logo? Nothing to fear! We can Pantone Match your ink to whatever code you’re needing to a 90% accuracy. 

There are a few requirements to qualify for a Pantone Match on your project:

• Stick to our Super Soft Signature line of apparel.
• The garment color you choose must discharge vibrantly, not vintage. If you need help determining which of our inventory items discharge at which rates, check out our blog post entitled Waterbased Print Results.
• Your order must include 144 units or more. 

Additionally, we charge $25/match! This means if we need to match 2 ink colors to a specific code, it’ll be a $50 charge.

But how do I know which code to send you? Great question! Your organization might have a branding guide including all relevant codes and colors that set your group apart. OR you could send in your logo and ask us! Our talented Art Staff can color match the logo and tell you the code! We work often in the Pantone and HEX libraries!

As always, if you have any questions regarding our inks & matching guides, please reach out to a Sunday Cool Concierge member using the dot icon in the corner of your screen.

Earth tones are having a moment—and it’s not just a trend. These soft, natural hues are showing up in merch rooms, summer camps, and Sunday services everywhere.

Whether you’re outfitting your staff, organizing a student retreat, or rebranding your church merch, a well-chosen earth tone tee is the kind of piece people actually want to wear again.

What to Consider Before Choosing an Earth Tone Shirt

Not every neutral hits the same. Before you dive in, here are a few things to help guide your pick.

1. The Purpose

Are these shirts for camp counselors? Youth group? Sunday volunteers?
Choosing a versatile color like Heather Sage or Heather Tan makes it easy for shirts to serve multiple roles—you can even mix and match t-shirt colors with the same artwork to differentiate your group.

2. Ink & Design Contrast

Neutrals are a blank slate—our neutral T-shirts offer vibrant print options to showcase your design. Need help visualizing it? Our Art Team can mock up your design on multiple colorways for you to compare.

3. Gender-Neutral Appeal

Our Super-Soft T-shirts are not only unisex in size, but in colorways too. Choosing an Earth-Tone neutral leaves less guesswork on who's wearing what color. They also photograph well and avoid clashing with event themes.

4. Long-Term Wearability

Will people want to wear this tee after the event is over?
If the answer’s yes, you’ve already added value to your merch. Earth tone tees don’t scream “freebie.” They feel more like something you’d actually buy—and that’s the goal.

Our Team’s Favorite Earth Tones

Here are the tried-and-true Sunday Cool earth tones that groups keep coming back for:

• Heather Sage
  
  • Pair with: Super-soft Ink, Sun Reveal Ink
• Heather Slate Blue
  • Pair with: Super-soft Ink, Sun Reveal Ink, Water Reveal Ink
• Heather Tan
  
  • Pair with: Super Soft Ink, Sun Reveal Ink, Water Reveal Ink, Iridescent Ink
• Heather Military Green
  
  • Pair with: Super Soft Ink, Sun Reveal Ink, Water Reveal Ink, Iridescent Ink‍
• Heather Denim‍
  
  • Pair with: Super Soft Ink, Sun Reveal Ink, Water Reveal Ink, Iridescent Ink

We have some of the softest tees around. Seriously. We have replaced the basic heavyweight T-shirt with a super-soft ringspun alternative.

Why Earth Tone Tees Work for Ministry Groups

• Flattering on everyone – No weird neons or highlighter yellows
• Pairs well with any ink color – White, black, full color, specialty ink—you name it
• Great for organizing roles – Use different neutrals to distinguish staff, students, or volunteers
• Timeless – No explanation needed!

FAQs About Earth Tone Custom Tees

Can I still use a bold print on a neutral shirt?
Absolutely. Earth tones are actually ideal for contrast. We’ll guide you on the best ink choices to make your design stand out.

What shirt styles are available in these colors?
Our go-to is the Signature Super-Soft Tee, but several earth tones are also available in fleecewear and long sleeves.

When it comes to printing on our Super-Soft T-shirts, understanding ink discharges is key to achieving the perfect print. In this guide, we'll explore the characteristics of Vibrant and Vintage ink discharges and how they can impact your designs.

Vibrant Prints:

Vibrant Prints are characterized by bright and bold colors that truly pop on the shirt. All ink colors printed on shirt colors labeled "Vibrant" produce a vivid and eye-catching print. These prints are perfect for designs that require bold and dynamic colors to stand out.

Not as Vibrant Prints (Vintage):

Not as Vibrant Prints, also known as Vintage prints, offer a faded and muted look. Bright ink colors or any ink color lighter than the apparel colors labeled Vintage result in a less vibrant appearance. For example, yellow ink may appear green on certain shirt colors. Despite the muted tones, Vintage prints can add a unique and nostalgic touch to your designs.

‍

Achieving the Vintage Look & Feel:

To achieve the Vintage Look & Feel, we offer two options. Firstly, printing your design using a single-color ink such as white can create a vintage or "my-favorite-tee" aesthetic. Alternatively, using a darker colored ink like navy or black on apparel colors that do not print bright and bold can also achieve this look. These options provide flexibility in achieving the desired appearance for your designs.

Understanding the characteristics of Vibrant and Vintage ink discharges is essential for achieving the desired print results on our super-soft T-shirts. Whether you opt for bold and dynamic colors or prefer a nostalgic vintage look, our printing options offer versatility to bring your designs to life!

The Power of Screen Printing­­­­­­

Screen printing is a popular method of printing designs on t-shirts and other apparel, using a mesh stencil to apply ink directly onto the fabric. This technique allows for vibrant, long-lasting prints that can withstand multiple washes without fading. By utilizing screen printing, you can create custom garments that showcase your brand, share your mission, and make a lasting impression. In addition, by using high-quality inks, such as super-soft water-based ink, your garments will have a soft, comfortable feel with our Classic Super-Soft Tee—perfect for everyday wear.

‍

Four Benefits of Screen-Printed Apparel

There are numerous benefits to using screen printing for your brand's apparel:

• Durability: Screen-printed designs are long-lasting and can withstand multiple washes without fading or cracking.
• Versatility: This method allows you to print on a variety of materials, including t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and more.
• Cost-effectiveness: Screen printing is an affordable option, especially when producing large quantities of garments.
• Customization: With the ability to choose from a wide range of ink colors and styles, you can create unique designs that truly represent your brand.

‍

Youth Group T-shirts: Building Community and Identity

One very popular use for screen-printed apparel is creating custom youth group t-shirts. These garments can serve as a powerful way to build community and promote a sense of belonging among youth group members.

‍

The Power of Custom Youth Group T-shirts

Custom youth group t-shirts can serve as a form of identity, helping members feel connected to their church or organization. In addition, these garments provide a tangible reminder of shared experiences, such as retreats, mission trips, or other ministry events.

‍

Four Design Considerations for Youth Group T-shirts

When designing youth group t-shirts, consider the following elements:

• Logo: Incorporate your church or organization's logo to create a sense of unity and brand recognition.
• Theme: Choose a theme that reflects the purpose or mission of your youth group, such as a scripture verse or a meaningful symbol.
• Colors: Select colors that represent your group's identity and complement your logo or theme.
• Variety: Offer a range of sizes and styles, so members can choose the garment that suits their individual preferences.

‍

Church T-shirts: Spreading the Word with Style

Custom church t-shirts are a fantastic way to promote your ministry and share your message with the world. In addition, these garments can serve as conversation starters, providing opportunities for members to engage with others and share their faith.

Four Tips for Designing Church T-Shirts (and other promotional products!)

When creating custom church t-shirts, consider the following tips:

• Focus on the mission: Choose a design that effectively communicates your church's mission or core values.
• Keep it simple: Avoid overly complex designs that may be difficult to read or understand.
• Incorporate your branding: Use your church's logo and colors to create a cohesive, recognizable brand identity.
• Choose high-quality garments: Ensure your t-shirts are comfortable and durable, so members will be proud to wear them.

‍

Ministry Events: Making a Lasting Impression

Custom apparel for ministry events, such as VBS, Summer Camps, Mission Trips, and Retreats can create a memorable experience for participants. In addition, these garments can serve as souvenirs, reminding individuals of their shared experiences and encouraging continued involvement in your organization.

‍

Design Ideas for Ministry Event T-shirts

When designing t-shirts for ministry events, consider the following ideas:

Creating memorable and stylish t-shirts for ministries and organizations is an art form at Sunday Cool. Our passion for custom screen printing and commitment to quality ensures that your t-shirts look remarkable while also being exceptionally comfortable and long-lasting. In this article, we will walk you through the entire Sunday Cool screen printing process, from initial conversation to delivery, and show you how we bring your custom artwork to life on super soft t-shirts.

Step 1: Conversation with your Project Advisor

Your journey begins with a conversation with one of our helpful and personable Project Advisors, who help you make your t-shirt dreams a reality. Whether you're ordering custom screen printed t-shirts for a youth group event, church gathering, or any other occasion, our Project Advisors are here to guide you through the process and ensure your every need is met.

Getting to Know Your Requirements

During your conversation, our Project Advisors will gather all the necessary information about your order, including:

• Your desired quantity of T-shirts
• Your delivery date deadline
• Your total budget for the project
• Your design ideas

Understanding these essential details lets us provide you with the best options and recommendations for your custom screen-printed apparel. 

Step 2: Creating Custom Artwork

The essence of a great t-shirt lies in its artwork - a custom service we give paramount importance to. Our team of talented artists at Sunday Cool is equipped to turn any form of an idea--from a napkin sketch idea to a fully branded design--into stunning custom artwork for your organization's custom t-shirts and apparel. 

From Idea to Art

No matter the starting point, our artists will work with you to create a design that perfectly captures your vision for your t-shirts. Whether it's a dancing sloth drawn by a youth group student or a more polished design your team has created, we'll ensure it looks incredible on your custom screen-printed apparel.

Step 3: The Production Process

PrePress: Preparing Screens for Production

Once we've gathered the sizes and art details, we prepare your order for production through staging. This involves creating stencils of your artwork using a specialized screen burning machine - one screen for each color in your design. The prepared screens are then ready for the production stage.

The screen burning process involves using UV light to transfer your design onto a screen coated with a light-sensitive emulsion. This creates a stencil of your artwork, allowing ink to pass through the screen and onto the t-shirts during the screen printing process.

Final Production: Let’s make some shirts!

The production process combines our super soft water-based ink (or any other innovative ink you choose), our world-class screen printers, and brand-new screens to imprint your design onto the t-shirt's fabric. This is where the magic happens and your custom artwork comes to life on your t-shirts.

Screen Printing and Inking

Our highly skilled screen printers carefully apply the ink to each t-shirt using the prepared screens, ensuring your design is perfectly aligned and consistent across all the shirts in your order. The squeegee-dyed shirts then make their way through a dryer, achieving the perfect finish and ensuring the long-lasting vibrancy of the design.​

Step 4: Quality Control and Shipping

Quality is our priority at Sunday Cool. Post-production, each shirt is double-checked for excellence, ensuring they match the remarkable standards we've set. Shirts that don't meet our high-quality standards are reprinted to guarantee you receive only the best possible product.

Packing and Delivery

Once our quality checks are complete, your shirts are neatly packed and shipped to your doorstep. With a turnaround time of as little as 72 hours after you approve your artwork, you can rest assured that your custom screen-printed group t-shirts will arrive promptly and ready for your group's event. 

Begin Your Custom T-Shirt Journey with Sunday Cool

We're dedicated to making the process of ordering custom screen-printed t-shirts as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Our commitment to quality, remarkable customer service, and super-soft, comfortable t-shirts make us the go-to choice for churches and organizations nationwide.

Understanding Plastisol Ink​

Now, what exactly is Plastisol ink? Well, it's a screen printing ink composed of two main ingredients: PVC resin and plasticizer. 

When printed on a shirt, Plastisol ink sits on top of the fabric. While Plastisol is widely used due to its vibrant colors and ease of application, it does have some drawbacks. 

Over time, it can fade, crack, or even peel, which can be quite disappointing when you're looking for long-lasting quality.

‍

The Magic of Water-Based Ink

But fear not, my friend, because Water-Based Ink is here to save the day! 

Unlike Plastisol ink, Water-Based Ink works in a completely different way. Rather than sitting on top of the fabric, it seeps into the garment and dyes it from within. 

This unique characteristic allows the ink to become one with the shirt, resulting in a design that feels incredibly soft to the touch. 

But that's not all – the magic of Water-Based Ink extends beyond its superior comfort!

You see, because Water-Based Ink permeates the fabric, it forms a bond that won’t crack or peel like Plastisol. And while water-based prints are known for their durability, they will naturally fade over time, giving your tee that well-loved, lived-in look—kind of like your favorite vintage shirt.

So, if you’re after a print that feels amazing and ages gracefully with wear, Water-Based Ink is the way to go!

Experience the Sunday Cool Difference: Longevity and Durability

At Sunday Cool, we specialize in printing with Water-Based Ink for a reason. We're passionate about providing our customers with shirts that not only look great but also feel amazing. Our Water-Based Ink creates a no-feel design that is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a special event or simply a way to express yourself through your clothing.

But don't just take our word for it – see it, or rather, feel it for yourself! We offer a wide range of designs and styles that will make you fall in love with Water-Based Ink. Say goodbye to stiff, uncomfortable shirts and hello to a new level of comfort and durability.

So, when it comes to choosing between Plastisol and Water-Based Ink, the latter reigns supreme here at Sunday Cool. With its ability to seamlessly blend with the fabric, resulting in softness and long-lasting quality, Water-Based Ink is the ultimate choice for those seeking a superior printing technique. 

Join the Sunday Cool Fam and experience the difference for yourself! Order your shirts with Water-Based Ink today and feel the Sunday Cool difference!

Start With the Message

At the heart of every strong faith-based shirt is a message that connects.

Many churches and ministries are creating designs centered around:

• Bible verses
• Church-wide themes
• Ministry values
• Event messaging
• Simple encouragement statements

The most effective designs keep the message clear and easy to read while letting the apparel do the rest of the work.

Designed for Everyday Wear

Even the strongest message can fall flat if the apparel itself is not comfortable.

That is why many ministries start with the Signature Super-Soft Tee paired with Super-Soft Ink. The soft cotton blend and breathable print help the shirt feel good from the first wear.

But great faith-based merch does not stop at tees. Sunday Cool offers a full range of comfortable apparel, including Super-Soft Long Sleeve Tees, Super-Soft Crewnecks, and Super-Soft Hoodies, all available in a wide variety of colors.

When your merch feels this good, it naturally becomes part of someone’s regular rotation. And that is when your message really begins to travel.

Templates Make It Easy

For many churches, the easiest path forward is starting with Sunday Cool’s Customizable Design Templates.

Our library includes a wide range of faith-forward designs that can be quickly personalized with your church name, event details, or ministry messaging.

Templates are especially helpful when you want to:

• Launch quickly
• Keep designs on-trend
• Reduce design back-and-forth
• Maintain a polished look

Already have something specific in mind? You can upload your own artwork or collaborate with our in-house artists for a fully custom design.

Church Merch Experts You Can Trust

Creating custom merch should feel simple, not overwhelming. That is why Sunday Cool has built a dedicated team that understands the church world inside and out.

From your first idea to final delivery, our team is ready to serve those who serve. Whether you are ordering for a ministry, event, or full church rollout, you will have real people walking with you every step of the way.

The most effective designs combine a clear message, comfortable fabric, and a style people want to wear regularly.

Can I create my own Bible verse shirt?

Yes. Churches and ministries can start with Customizable Design Templates, upload their own artwork, or work with Sunday Cool’s in-house artists.

What type of shirts work best for Christian apparel?

Start With Comfort

Volunteer shifts can stretch longer than expected. Between multiple services, setup, and conversations between gatherings, comfort matters more than most teams realize.

Many churches start with the Signature Super-Soft Tee, a premium cotton blend that stays lightweight and easy to wear throughout the day. Paired with Super-Soft Ink, the design stays smooth and breathable instead of thick or heavy.

Beyond tees, Sunday Cool offers a full lineup of comfortable apparel including:

• Super-Soft Long Sleeve Tees
• Super-Soft Crewnecks
• Super-Soft Hoodies
• Hats and beanies

All available in a wide range of colors to match your church’s look.

The goal is simple. Give your volunteers something they will genuinely want to wear, not something they change out of the second they get home.

Make Your Team Easy to Approach

Volunteer shirts do their best work when they quietly remove friction for guests.

Clear, consistent apparel helps new families quickly spot someone who can help. It also gives your team a shared sense of purpose the moment they put the shirt on.

Most churches see the best results with designs that are:

• Clean and readable
• Clearly connected to your church
• Consistent across teams
• Friendly and approachable

It does not need to be complicated to be effective.

Templates That Keep It Simple

Not every church wants to start from scratch every time they order volunteer shirts. That is where Sunday Cool’s Customizable Design Templates come in.

Our library includes a wide variety of volunteer-friendly designs, from clean ministry identifiers to “I Love My Church” styles that work across departments.

Templates are especially helpful when you want to:

• Move quickly through approvals
• Keep your look consistent
• Give multiple teams the same foundation
• Refresh your volunteer gear without overthinking it

Already have artwork? You can upload your own design anytime. And if you are dreaming up something brand new, our in-house artists are ready to help bring it to life.

For churches planning baptisms around Easter, apparel can become part of a really meaningful moment.

Water Reveal Ink has become a powerful tool for baptisms, helping visually capture the moment of someone bringing their faith to life. When the shirt gets wet, a hidden design element is revealed, creating a subtle but memorable experience for those being baptized.

It is not something every church chooses, but when it fits your celebration, it can add a beautiful layer to an already significant step of faith.

Thoughtful Extras for Easter Weekend

While shirts usually lead the way, many churches also prepare a few well-chosen Promo Items (or promotional items) to support the full Easter experience.

These are often used for:

• First-time guest welcome gifts
• Volunteer appreciation
• Kids Ministry take-home items
• Easter weekend bundles

Popular choices include:

• Stickers
• Note Jotters
• Tote Bags
• WootHoops
• Drinkware

When coordinated well, these pieces help extend your Easter celebrations beyond Sunday morning.

Keep the Process Smooth

Easter has a fixed date. That alone makes planning feel more urgent than usual.

Starting early always helps, especially when gathering sizes across multiple teams. Sunday Cool offers a 72-hour turnaround after art approval, which gives many churches helpful flexibility once designs are finalized.

A simple, predictable process is one of the best gifts you can give your future self during Easter prep.

Start With Comfort That Lasts

Baptism days often include services, photos, celebrations, and time spent with family and friends. Apparel that feels soft and easy to wear makes the experience that much better for everyone involved.

Many churches choose the Signature Super-Soft Tee, a premium cotton blend designed to stay lightweight and comfortable throughout the day. When paired with Super-Soft Ink, the design remains smooth and breathable instead of thick or heavy.

That combination helps ensure baptism shirts are not just worn for the celebration but continue to be worn and remembered long after the day is over.

Why Churches Use Water Reveal Ink

One of the most unique tools churches are using for baptisms is Water Reveal Ink.

When the shirt gets wet, a hidden design element appears. Many churches have begun using this in thoughtful ways during baptism celebrations because it visually reflects something deeper — the outward expression of faith being brought to life.

Used intentionally, it creates a powerful visual detail that families and participants remember long after the celebration.

Templates That Keep Planning Simple

Baptism preparation already involves coordinating families, schedules, and service flow. Apparel should be the easy part.

Sunday Cool offers a wide library of Customizable Design Templates, including clean, faith-forward options that work beautifully for baptism celebrations. We also offer templates specifically designed to incorporate Water Reveal Ink elements, making it even easier for churches to create something meaningful without starting from scratch.

Templates are especially helpful when churches want to:

• Move smoothly through approvals
• Keep designs clear and meaningful
• Create unity across participants
• Launch shirts without starting from scratch

If your church already has a specific design in mind, you can upload your own artwork or work with our in-house artists to create something fully custom.

Built to Serve Churches of Every Size

Every church approaches baptisms a little differently. Some celebrate several throughout the year, while others plan larger baptism Sundays that bring many families together.

Baptism shirts can be tailored to fit the scale and style of your celebration while still keeping the process simple for your team.

The key is choosing apparel that supports the experience and helps everyone involved feel part of something meaningful.

Keep the Process Smooth

One of the biggest helps for church teams is simply knowing the process will be straightforward.

Sunday Cool offers a 72-hour turnaround after art approval, which gives churches helpful flexibility as baptism dates approach and final counts come together.

Planning ahead always helps, but having a reliable timeline makes the entire process feel lighter.

Start With Comfort That Lasts All Weekend

Retreat schedules are full. Travel, sessions, games, late nights. If apparel feels stiff or heavy, students notice quickly.

That is why many ministries start with the Signature Super-Soft Tee. The premium cotton blend keeps the shirt lightweight and comfortable enough for long retreat days.

For cooler mornings, evening sessions, or fall and winter retreats, many groups expand their order to include:

• Super-Soft Long Sleeve Tees
• Super-Soft Crewnecks
• Super-Soft Hoodies

Pairing your apparel with Super-Soft Ink keeps the design soft and breathable instead of thick or rubbery.

When the gear feels good, students tend to keep it in rotation long after the retreat ends.

Build Connection From the Moment They Arrive

One of the biggest wins of retreat merch is the way it helps students feel part of something right away.

When groups arrive wearing coordinated apparel, it creates:

• Immediate sense of belonging
• Clear group identity
• Easier small group movement
• Stronger shared experience

Many ministries lean toward designs that are clean, readable, and clearly tied to the retreat theme. It does not have to be complicated to be effective.

Templates Ready for Retreat Season

Retreat planning already moves fast. Apparel should help, not slow things down.

Sunday Cool offers a large library of Customizable Design Templates built specifically for:

• Fall Retreat
• Winter Retreat
• D-NOW
• Youth Weekend events
• Student conferences

These templates give youth ministries a strong, current starting point that can be quickly personalized with your church name, theme, and colors.

Many teams choose templates because they:

• Speed up approvals
• Keep designs looking current
• Reduce back-and-forth
• Still allow full customization

If your retreat needs something completely unique, our in-house artists can also create a fully custom design from scratch.

Promo Items That Add Real Value

Many youth ministries are expanding beyond just shirts and building simple merch bundles that support the full retreat experience.

Sunday Cool offers a wide range of Promo Items and promotional items that pair naturally with retreat weekends. When chosen well, these pieces help reinforce the moment and give students something useful to take home.

Popular retreat additions include:

• Beanies
• Hats
• Cinch Backpacks
• Note Jotters
• Stickers
• Lanyards

These items work especially well for check-in kits, small group materials, and D-NOW weekend bundles. Thoughtful extras like these help extend the impact of the retreat beyond the final session.

Plan Ahead Without the Rush

Two pressure points tend to show up during retreat prep.

First is gathering sizes from students. Second is working toward a fixed retreat date that is not moving.

Starting early helps remove most of that stress. Sunday Cool offers a 72-hour turnaround after art approval, which gives many youth ministries helpful breathing room as final details come together.

A little margin here makes the entire process feel much more manageable.

Why Church Shirts Still Matter

A thoughtful church shirt quietly supports your ministry in ways that go beyond a single event.

The right shirt can:

• Create unity across your teams
• Help guests quickly identify leaders
• Reinforce your church’s message
• Build excitement around events
• Extend your reach into the community

When someone chooses to wear your church shirt during the week, your message travels with them. That kind of visibility is hard to replicate any other way.

Start With Something People Want to Wear

Before diving into artwork or quantities, it helps to focus on wearability.

Many churches have learned that if a shirt feels stiff or heavy, it rarely becomes part of someone’s regular rotation. That is why Sunday Cool’s Signature Super-Soft Tee has become a go-to for many ministries.

The premium cotton blend keeps the shirt lightweight and comfortable enough for everyday wear, not just Sunday mornings.

Pairing your shirts with Super-Soft Ink helps the printed design stay smooth and breathable instead of thick or rubbery. The result is a shirt that feels soft from the first wear and stays that way.

Comfort may seem like a small detail, but it often determines whether your shirts get worn once or worn often.

‍Looking for a Specific Name Brand? Just Ask!

Every church has its preferences when it comes to apparel. Some teams love a certain fit. Others already have a favorite brand their group reaches for every time.

If your church has a brand in mind, Sunday Cool can source it. We regularly work with trusted favorites like Comfort Colors, Bella + Canvas, and other popular options churches already know and love.

Whether you start with our Signature Super-Soft Tee or have something specific in mind, our goal is simple. We want your church to end up in apparel that fits your culture, your comfort standards, and the way your people actually like to wear their shirts.

‍

‍A Huge Library of Templates, Ready When You Are

One of the biggest advantages churches have today is speed. You do not have to start from scratch unless you want to.

Sunday Cool offers a large library of Customizable Design Templates designed to meet a wide range of ministry needs. Whether your church is preparing for:

• Fall Retreat
• D-NOW
• Summer Camp
• “I Love My Church” 
• Ministry launches
• Seasonal events

There is likely a strong starting point already built and ready to personalize.

Templates help churches move faster while still ending up with something that feels thoughtful and current. For many teams, this is the easiest path from idea to approved artwork.

Prefer to Upload Your Own Artwork? You Can

Some churches already have established branding or a design prepared internally. That works too.

Many ministries simply upload their finished artwork and work with the Sunday Cool team to prepare it for print. This is especially helpful when:

• Your church has a design team
• You are following national church branding
• You have event-specific artwork
• You want full creative control

The goal is flexibility. Whether you start with a template, upload your own art, or work with our in-house artists, the process should fit your team, not the other way around.

Go Fully Custom With Our In-House Artists

For churches looking for something one-of-a-kind, Sunday Cool’s talented in-house artists regularly create fully custom designs from scratch.

This route is especially helpful when:

• You are launching a new ministry
• You want a completely original look
• You have an idea but need help bringing it to life
• Your event calls for something unique

Having access to experienced church-focused designers can remove a lot of guesswork from the creative process.

Think Beyond the Shirt

Many churches today are expanding their approach to include coordinated Promo Items, sometimes referred to as promotional items, that support their overall ministry experience.

These pieces work especially well for:

• Welcome gifts
• Volunteer appreciation
• Event bundles
• Conference takeaways
• First-time guest kits

Popular options include:

• Stickers
• Waterbottles
• Hats
• Tote Bags
• And other fully customizable items

When planned together, shirts and promotional items help create a more cohesive and memorable experience for your church community.

Give Yourself Margin in the Timeline

One of the most common slowdowns churches face is simply gathering sizes and final approvals.

Starting early always helps, especially when multiple ministries or leaders are involved in the decision.

Sunday Cool offers a 72-hour turnaround after art approval, which helps many churches stay flexible once everything is finalized.

A little margin up front often makes the entire process feel much smoother.

Ready to Create Custom Church Shirts?

Custom church shirts are at their best when they feel comfortable, look thoughtful, and are easy for your team to coordinate.

Why These Shirts Still Matter

Matching shirts may seem simple, but they quietly solve several real challenges for missions teams.

Well-planned mission trip shirts help:

• Create quick team visibility
• Make travel days easier to manage
• Help partners recognize your group
• Build unity before the trip even begins
• Give your team a shared keepsake afterward

When comfort and clarity are done well, your shirts support the entire trip without getting in the way.

Comfort Goes a Long Way

Mission trips often mean early mornings, long flights, outdoor work, and full days on your feet. A stiff or heavy shirt becomes noticeable fast in those environments.

That is why many churches choose Sunday Cool’s Signature Super-Soft Tee, made from a premium cotton blend designed for lightweight, all-day comfort.

Pairing your shirts with Super-Soft Ink keeps the printed design smooth and breathable instead of thick or rubbery. The ink absorbs into the fabric, helping the shirt stay comfortable even in warm climates.

This combination works especially well for:

• Travel days
• Outdoor service projects
• Warm-weather locations
• Multi-day wear

When the shirt feels good, your team can stay focused on the work that matters most.

Keep Your Team Easy to Spot

One of the most practical benefits of mission trip shirts is visibility. In busy airports, large group settings, or unfamiliar cities, clear and consistent shirts help your team stay connected.

Many churches find success with designs that are:

• Clean and readable from a distance
• Clearly tied to the church or trip
• Consistent across the whole team
• Simple enough to work in many settings

Clarity usually wins over complexity here.

Start With Templates or Go Fully Custom

Mission trip planning already comes with plenty of moving parts. Your apparel order should not add unnecessary friction.

Many churches choose Sunday Cool’s Customizable Design Templates because they provide a strong, on-trend starting point that can be quickly personalized for your trip.

Templates are especially helpful when:

• Multiple leaders need to approve
• Timelines are tight
• You want a proven layout
• Your team prefers a guided starting point

If your trip calls for something completely unique, our talented in-house artists can also create a custom design from scratch. Either way, the goal is the same: keep the process simple while helping your team look unified and prepared.

Do Not Skip the Extras

Many missions teams are building simple, practical kits that go beyond just the shirt.

Sunday Cool offers a wide range of Promo Items that work especially well for mission prep and team gear. These items often become part of the team’s daily routine during the trip.

Popular mission trip add-ons include:

• Waterbottles
• Note Jotters
• Hats
• Cinch Backpacks
• Lanyards

When coordinated well, these extras help your team stay organized and reinforce your group identity throughout the trip.

Plan Ahead Without the Panic

Two of the biggest stress points for missions teams are gathering sizes and working toward a fixed travel date.

Collecting accurate sizes from a full team can take longer than expected, and once flights are booked, the timeline is real.

Starting early always helps. Sunday Cool offers a 72-hour turnaround after art approval, which helps many churches stay flexible as trip details come together.

A little margin here can remove a lot of last-minute pressure.

Start With Comfort Everyone Can Agree On

During Vacation Bible School, kids are constantly moving between rotations, games, and activities. A shirt that feels stiff or heavy can quickly become a distraction.

That is why many churches choose Sunday Cool’s Signature Super-Soft Tee. It is a premium cotton blend designed to stay lightweight and comfortable through a full day of VBS.

Even better, youth sizes are available, which makes it easy to create a unified look across your entire Kids Ministry.

When everyone is wearing the same comfortable shirt, it helps:

• Create instant visual unity
• Make group movement easier to manage
• Help families quickly recognize your VBS program
• Keep kids comfortable throughout the day

Pairing your shirts with Super-Soft Ink keeps the printed design smooth and breathable instead of thick or heavy.

Let Your VBS Theme Do the Heavy Lifting

Most Children’s Ministries already have a strong visual direction for Vacation Bible School. Between the curriculum and decorations, the theme is usually well established.

Instead of overthinking the shirt design, many churches either upload their approved VBS artwork or start with Sunday Cool’s Customizable Design Templates built specifically for VBS themes.

Templates help your team move faster because you can:

• Stay aligned with your official theme
• Customize with your church name
• Adjust colors if needed
• Approve designs with less back and forth

For busy Kids Ministry teams, simplicity here can save a surprising amount of time.

Small Details That Make VBS More Memorable

While the shirt itself is the foundation, some churches like to add a little extra moment of fun.

Options like Sun Reveal Ink and Water Reveal Ink can introduce a subtle surprise element that fits naturally into the energy of Vacation Bible School.

• Sun Reveal Ink appears when kids step outside into the sunlight
• Water Reveal Ink activates during water games and outdoor activities

These features are completely optional, but when they align with your theme, they can add a playful touch kids genuinely enjoy.

Strengthen the Week With Promo Items

Many Kids Ministry teams are expanding their VBS plans with coordinated extras that support the overall experience.

Sunday Cool offers a wide selection of Promo Items that can be customized to match your Vacation Bible School branding. These work especially well for welcome bags, volunteer kits, or end-of-week take-home gifts.

Popular choices include:

• Stickers
• Waterbottles
• Hats
• Cinch Backpacks
• And other fully customizable items your ministry may need

When these pieces are planned together, they help reinforce your theme and give kids practical reminders of the week long after VBS wraps up.

Give Yourself Margin Where You Can

Every Children’s Ministry calendar is different, but most teams appreciate having a little breathing room built into their VBS planning.

Starting your shirt order early always helps. Sunday Cool offers a 72-hour turnaround after art approval, which helps many churches stay flexible during VBS planning season.

A smoother ordering process means one less thing on your plate during an already full week.

Start With a Shirt Campers Will Actually Wear

Before getting creative with graphics or extras, the foundation matters most. If the shirt is not comfortable, it rarely becomes a favorite.

Many churches choose Super-Soft Tees printed with Super-Soft Ink because the water-based ink absorbs into the fabric rather than sitting on top. The result is a smooth, lightweight feel that holds up well in warm summer conditions.

Why this matters for summer camp:

• Breathable during outdoor activities
• Lightweight for all-day wear
• Comfortable enough to wear after camp
• Durable through repeated washing

When the shirt feels good, campers naturally reach for it more often.

Use Customizable Templates to Simplify the Process

Summer schedules fill up quickly. One of the simplest ways to keep your project moving is starting with proven artwork.

Sunday Cool’s Customizable Design Templates give ministries a strong creative foundation while still allowing full personalization. Instead of building from scratch, your team can:

• Choose a direction quickly
• Customize with your camp theme and year
• Adjust colors to match your ministry
• Keep approvals moving smoothly

Templates are especially helpful when multiple leaders are involved in the decision process.

Add a Creative Moment With Specialty Inks

Summer camp is one of the best opportunities to introduce something unexpected. Specialty inks can turn a standard shirt into something campers talk about all week.

Specialty inks like Sun Reveal Ink and Water Reveal Ink add a fun, unexpected element that fits perfectly into the energy of summer camp.

• Sun Reveal Ink reveals hidden elements when campers step into sunlight. It is especially fun during outdoor games, free time, and afternoon sessions.
• Water Reveal Ink activates when the shirt gets wet, making it a natural fit for water days, pool time, and even baptism celebrations during camp week.

Used thoughtfully, these features create small moments of surprise that campers tend to remember long after camp ends.

Build a Stronger Camp Experience With Promo Items

While shirts are usually the centerpiece, many ministries are expanding their camp packages with coordinated extras.

Sunday Cool offers a wide selection of Promo Items that can be customized to match your camp theme. These are often used for welcome bags, team giveaways, or camper gifts.

Popular summer camp add-ons include:

• Waterbottles
• Stickers
• Hats & Beanies
• Tote bags
• Lanyards
• And just about anything else your team may want to create

These pieces help reinforce your camp identity and give campers practical items they can continue using throughout the year.

Keep the Design Focused on the Moment

The best summer camp shirts usually share one thing in common. They clearly capture the experience of the week.

Strong designs often include:

• The camp theme or name
• The year
• Clean, readable typography
• Visual elements tied to the message

If the design feels clear and intentional, it is far more likely to become a shirt campers keep.

Give Yourself Breathing Room in the Timeline

Summer approaches quickly for most ministries. Giving your team time for design and approvals can make the process smoother.

At the same time, Sunday Cool’s 72-hour turnaround after art approval gives ministries helpful flexibility when plans come together faster than expected.

Starting early simply gives your team the most options.

Why Youth Group Shirts Still Matter

Youth group merch is more than apparel. When done well, it becomes part of your ministry’s culture.

Strong youth ministry shirts can:

• Help students feel like they belong
  
  
• Create visibility in your community
  
  
• Build excitement around events and retreats
  
  
• Give leaders and volunteers easy identification
  
  
• Extend your ministry’s message beyond church walls
  
  

For that to happen, the shirt has to be something students genuinely want to wear.

The #1 Factor: Comfort

Before design, before colors, before anything else, comfort wins.

Today’s students are used to soft, retail-quality shirts. If a tee feels stiff or heavy, it usually gets pushed aside quickly.

That is why many ministries choose Super-Soft Tees paired with Super-Soft Ink. This water-based printing method allows the design to feel smooth and lightweight on the shirt instead of thick or rubbery.

Why Super-Soft Ink matters:

• The print soaks into the fabric
  
  
• The design stays breathable
  
  
• The shirt keeps its soft feel
  
  
• Students are more likely to wear it repeatedly
  
  

It is a small detail that makes a big difference in long-term wear.

Keep the Design Clean and Purposeful

One of the most common mistakes we see is trying to do too much in one design.

Youth group shirts that get worn most often tend to be:

• Easy to read
  
  
• Visually clean
  
  
• Clearly connected to the group or event
  
  
• Not overly crowded with text
  
  

If you are not sure where to start, using Customizable Design Templates can give you a strong foundation while still allowing your ministry to personalize the final look.

A good rule of thumb: if the message is not clear in a few seconds, simplify.

Choose Quality That Holds Up

Youth group life is active. Between camps, retreats, and weekly gatherings, shirts go through a lot.

High-quality blanks paired with Super-Soft Ink help ensure your design still looks great after repeated washes. When the print stays smooth and the shirt keeps its comfort, students naturally keep wearing it.

That ongoing wear is what turns a simple shirt into lasting ministry visibility.

Timing Your Youth Group Shirt Order

Planning ahead is always helpful, especially around big events like camps or retreats. Giving your team enough time for design and approvals can make the process smoother.

That said, one of the things ministries appreciate about Sunday Cool is our 72-hour turnaround after art approval, which provides flexibility when timelines get tight.

If you are working toward an event date, starting the conversation early is always the safest move.

Popular Uses for Youth Group Shirts

If you are exploring ideas for youth group merch, these are some of the most common and effective uses.

Weekly Youth Group Identity

Many ministries create a core shirt that students and leaders can wear throughout the year. This helps:

• Build familiarity
  
  
• Welcome new students
  
  
• Create a consistent group identity
  
  

Youth Retreat and Event Shirts

Retreats and special events are perfect opportunities for limited-run designs. These often become keepsakes that students hold onto long after the event ends.

Summer Camp Shirts

Church summer camp remains one of the biggest drivers for custom youth shirts. Camps create shared experiences, and a well-designed tee helps capture that moment.

Volunteer and Leader Shirts

Clear, comfortable shirts for leaders and volunteers help students quickly identify safe adults while keeping your team looking unified.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Before placing your next order, watch for these common pitfalls.

Overcomplicating the design
Simple and clear usually wins.

Choosing rough or heavy prints
Soft, breathable printing makes a noticeable difference.

Waiting until the last minute
Build in time for design and approvals when possible.

Designing without the student in mind
Always ask if they would wear this outside of church.

Avoiding these alone will put your next shirt order in a much stronger position.

Ready to Create Youth Group Shirts That Last?

The right youth group shirt does more than check a box. It helps build connection, visibility, and momentum for your ministry.

When comfort, quality, and thoughtful design come together, students notice the difference.

Sure, there are plenty of ways to get customized shirts these days. But if you actually want people to wear the shirt again (and not just once for the group photo), screen printing still wins.

At Sunday Cool, we didn’t just follow the screen printing handbook — we rewrote it. From Water-Based Ink to pro-level production to designs made with printing in mind, we’ve built a system that’s fast, smart, and guaranteed to leave your group saying, “Where’d you get these?”

What Makes Sunday Cool Screen Printing Different

Super-Soft Water-Based Ink

This is where most printers fall short—and where we shine. Unlike plastisol (aka: the stuff that feels like a rubber tire patch stuck to your shirt), our Water-Based Ink soaks into the fabric. No heavy feel. No cracking. Just super-soft prints that feel like part of the shirt — and get softer every time you wash it.

Super-Soft Apparel

We print on a variety of garments, but our go-to? Sunday Cool’s Super-Soft Signature Line of Apparel—carried and printed in-house for the best results. Because a great print means nothing on a thick, scratchy t-shirt

Designs Made to Print

Our in-house artists don’t just make things look good on a screen — they build custom designs that are made to print clean, crisp, and sharp. Fonts won’t disappear. Colors won’t bleed. And your design shows up exactly how it should.

Skilled Production Team

Water-Based Screen Printing isn’t for amateurs. (There’s a reason most shops don’t even attempt it.) Our production team knows this craft like the back of their ink-stained hands. Each shirt is printed with expert precision, consistency, and care—no shortcuts.

Innovation Meets Tradition

When you want to take it further, we offer a variety of specialty inks like, Puff Ink, Sun Reveal Ink, and Water Reveal Ink — all designed to pair seamlessly with Water-Based Screen Printing and give your shirts an extra dash of wow-factor.

In-House From Start to Finish

Every part of your order happens right here at Sunday Cool HQ. No third-party printers. No crossed fingers. Just full control, tighter turnaround, and better results.

Fast Turnaround (Always)

You shouldn’t have to wait weeks for good shirts. Every order ships within 72 hours of art approval. That includes specialty inks, big orders, and last-minute saves.

FAQ: Sunday Cool Screen Printing

Why Water-Based Ink instead of plastisol?
Because great shirts should be worn, not retired to the back of your closet or saved for yard work. Water-Based Ink makes prints that feel good, hold up, and stay looking fresh long after the event’s over.

Can you print on more than just t-shirts?
Absolutely. We screen print on hoodies, crewnecks, and plenty of other custom apparel options — all still super-soft and in-house.

Do specialty inks slow down my order?
Not even a little. Specialty inks like Iridescent, Sun Reveal, or Water Reveal still ship out within 72 hours of art approval.

What if I don’t have a design ready?
No worries. We’ve got a full library of customizable templates, plus in-house artists who know exactly how to build a design that brings your brand to life.

The Sunday Cool Difference

At Sunday Cool, we’ve built our entire process around one thing: a remarkable t-shirt buying experience. Water-Based Ink. Top-notch design. Pro-level printing. Lightning-fast turnaround. And custom apparel your group will actually want to wear.

‍

Not a designer? Perfect. That’s what we’re here for!

You don’t need to be. At Sunday Cool, we turn camp logos, youth group inside jokes, and half-baked ideas into fully custom merch—designed by real artists who get it.

Here’s how it goes down:

Step 1: Share the Vision (Even If It’s Messy)

Got a full logo file? Awesome.
Got a napkin sketch or “kinda thinking something with a sunset but not cheesy”? That works too.

All we need is a spark — an idea, a theme, a vibe, or a color palette — and our team of in-house artists will take it from there.

We design for:

• Youth groups
• Camp themes
• Retreats and mission trips
• Baptism weekends
• Church merch that doesn’t feel like church merch

Step 2: We Make It Make Sense (and Look Good)

Designing for a shirt isn’t the same as designing for a screen or flyer.

We’ll think through:

• Ink type
• Placement
• Shirt color + style

We’re not just slapping a logo on a tee — we’re building something people want to wear again.

Step 3: You Approve It (or Tweak It)

Once we’ve crafted your design, we’ll send a full-color mockup your way.

Need a different font? Want a brighter color? Change your mind about the shirt color? No problem. We’ll revise until it’s right!

Step 4: Remarkably Fast Turnarounds

The moment you approve the design, your shirts head to our production floor.

And yes — your full order ships within 72 hours after art approval.

That means you can actually breathe the week of your event.

Step 5: You Hand Out the Coolest Shirts They’ve Ever Worn

We’ve heard it a thousand times: “These shirts are actually good. Like, I wear mine all the time.”

Bonus: You Don’t Need to Do It Alone

Our team is here every step of the way to:

• Answer your questions
• Recommend shirt styles
• Help with sizing breakdowns
• Suggest specialty inks and additional promo items to coordinate with your event.

This isn’t just ordering t-shirts. This is custom merch made easy, fast, and fun.

Some t-shirt designs just need a little more.

You don’t want flat. You don’t want boring. You want a shirt that people instantly reach for — not just because of the design, but because of how it looks, feels, and stands out. That’s where our Puff Ink + Water-Based Ink combo comes in.

This specialty ink combo mixes dimensional, touchable detail with the super-soft comfort Sunday Cool is known for — and it’s quickly becoming a favorite for groups who want their shirts to feel as good as they look.

What’s the Big Deal About These Inks?

It’s the best of both ink worlds:

Puff Ink

Adds texture, height, and that can’t-help-but-touch-it 3D effect. It’s bold, raised, and perfect for giving logos, lettering, or design elements extra attention.

Water-Based Ink

Our signature Super-Soft Water-Based Ink lays down smooth, breathable color that’s soft from day one—no cracking, no heavy feel, no plasticky prints.

The Best of Both Worlds

Together, Puff + Water-Based Ink create designs that have dimension where you want it, softness everywhere else, and visual contrast that makes your custom merch stand out from the crowd.

When to Use Puff + Water-Based Ink:

• Group logos that deserve to pop (literally)
• Event merch that needs extra visual interest
• Church branding that looks premium and polished
• Youth group tees that break the mold
• Cooler-weather gear like our Super-Soft Signature Hoodies and Crewnecks

FAQ: Puff Ink + Water-Based Ink

Can I use Puff Ink on any part of my design?
Yes! Puff Ink works great for highlighting specific elements like text, logos, or key design features. Our artists will help you map out where Puff works best.

Does the shirt still feel soft with Puff Ink?
Absolutely. Since Puff Ink is only used on certain design elements, the rest of the print remains super soft thanks to our Water-Based Ink and Super-Soft Signature Tees.

How fast can you print Puff + Water-Based Ink orders?
Same as all our orders — everything ships within 72 hours of art approval.

Can I use this ink combo on more than just t-shirts?
Definitely. Puff Ink + Water-Based Ink work great on hoodies, crewnecks, and other apparel — making them perfect for fall retreats, winter events, and cozy merch drops

Give Your Design a Little Extra

When you want your custom merch to stop being “just a shirt” and start being the one everyone talks about, this is how you do it.
Puff Ink + Water-Based Ink = bold, breathable, and better-looking merch, every time.

When it comes to printing water-based inks on Comfort Colors® garments, knowing how your artwork will appear on different dye types is key to getting the look you want. Comfort Colors’ pigment and reactive dye processes affect how much ink discharges through the garment dye - meaning your design’s final vibrancy can vary from bold and bright to soft and vintage.

In this guide, we’ll break down the four main categories of print results: Reactive Dyed, 90% Vibrancy, 70% Vibrancy, and 40% Vibrancy.

‍

Reactive Dyed Garments - Vibrant Prints

Reactive dyed garments deliver the most vibrant print results. These shirt colors release more dye when printed, allowing the water-based ink to fully discharge and produce bright, bold colors that pop right off the fabric.

Other Reactive Dyed Colors include: Red, Midnight, White, and China Blue

‍

Pigment Dyed - 90% Vibrancy

Pigment dyed garments naturally have a soft, washed-in look, and they’ll continue to fade slightly over time for that perfect “lived-in” feel. Colors in this range print at about 90% vibrancy, meaning they still hold strong color but with a subtle vintage look.

Other 90% Pigment Dyed Colors include: Citrus

‍

Pigment Dyed - 70% Vibrancy

These garments bring a classic vintage feel - the kind of tee that looks like it’s been your favorite for years. Prints appear softer, more muted, and intentionally weathered.

Other 70% Pigment Dyed Colors include: Neon Cantalope, Neon Lime, Bay, Mustard, Melon, Orchid, Hydrangea, Celadon, Bright Orange, Burnt Orange, Royal Caribe, Sapphire, Bright Salmon, Crunchberry, Watermelon, Seafoam, and Ice Blue

‍

‍

Pigment Dyed - 40% Vibrancy

This category represents the most vintage of pigment dyed results. The garment color holds onto more of its original pigment, giving your print a subtle, tonal appearance. Think soft, muted designs that look like they’ve been sun-washed over time.

Other 40% Pigment Dyed Colors include: Periwinkle, Grass, Boysenberry, Violet, Blue Jean, Flo Blue, Yam, Neon Pink, Cumin, Crimson, Blue Spruce, and Hemp

‍

Side-by-Side: Graphite (Reactive Dyed) vs Pepper (Pigment Dyed)

Here’s where the difference really shows. Both Graphite and Pepper are dark gray Comfort Colors tees - but their dye processes create dramatically different print results.

• Graphite (Reactive Dyed): Produces bright, and high-contrast prints with truer color accuracy.
• Pepper (Pigment Dyed): Prints appear muted and washed-in, creating a naturally vintage look right out of the box.

This comparison is the perfect example of why knowing your garment’s dye type matters when planning your artwork as the base color and dye process can completely transform the final result.

Bringing It All Together

Understanding how your garment’s dye impacts print results helps you choose the perfect combo for your design. Whether you’re aiming for bold and bright or soft and nostalgic, our team will help ensure your Comfort Colors order prints how you envision it.

You’ve got a powerful message. A missions team with purpose. And a trip that will stick with people long after the plane lands.

So why settle for mission trip t-shirts that feel... forgettable?

At Sunday Cool, we believe mission trip gear should mean something. It’s more than a shirt or a hat—it’s about creating a wearable reminder of every moment, every connection, and every step of the journey.

Here’s how we help you make that happen:

What Makes a Great Mission Trip T-Shirt?

1. Custom Designs That Actually Inspire

We’ve already done the hard part.
Our team of world class artists have created a full library of mission-themed templates, ready for you to customize with ministry-ready and message-driven designs.

Want something totally custom? Our artists can bring your vision to life from scratch, too!

2. Super-Soft Tees You’ll Actually Wear Again

Our shirts are known for one thing above all: softness.
Printed on our Signature Super-Soft Tee with breathable, water-based ink, your team gets gear they’ll want to live in—whether they’re painting walls or leading worship.

3. Specialty Inks

• Water Reveal Ink – Designs appear when wet
• Sun Reveal Ink – Graphics that show up in sunlight
• Puff Ink – For a dimensional, raised effect

These small touches make a big impact—and turn your shirt into a conversation starter.

4. Fast Turnaround. No Stress.

Need them quick? We’ve got you.
Once you approve your design, your order ships within 72 hours after art approval. What most printers offer as a rush, we offer as our standard!

When to Use Custom Mission Trip T-Shirts

Mission trip tees aren’t just for the trip itself. Here’s how groups use them:

• Pre-Trip Send-Offs – Help your team feel unified and excited
• During Travel – Makes it easier to keep track of everyone (and easier to spot in airport security)
• In the Field – Comfortable and practical for serving
• Post-Trip Gifts – A wearable reminder of what God did through your team
• Supporter Thank-Yous – Gift them to donors or prayer partners

FAQ: Mission Trip Shirts

Do I have to use a template?
Nope! You’re welcome to start from scratch or mix and match design elements. Just send us your idea, and we’ll take it from there.

Can we use our trip verse or location?
Absolutely. Every design is fully customizable—so you can add your destination, year, verse, or even your team members’ names if you want to get fancy.

Do you offer hats or other items too?
Yes. Foam trucker hats, woothoops, stickers, note jotters—you name it. If you want to take your mission trip merch to the next level, we’ll build a package that fits your needs.

What shirt colors work best?
Our most popular mission trip tees are in earth tones or heather brights (like Heather Sky or Heather Mint Julep), but you can choose from dozens of colors. We’ll help guide you based on your design and vibe.

Gear That Speaks Louder Than Words

Mission trips aren’t just a moment—they’re a movement. And your T-shirts should reflect that.

When you print with Sunday Cool, you’re not just getting great design or soft tees (though you are getting both). You’re getting gear that reflects the heart behind the mission.

We here at Sunday Cool pride ourselves on a remarkable buying experience and product. This dedication extends into our shipping process. Our Project Advisor and Sunday Cool Concierge teams focus on shipping transit times in tandem with your must-have date to make the experience as seamless as possible.

Sunday Cool primarily uses FedEx as a carrier service. However, we also can ship UPS should you prefer. Just ask your Project Advisor or one of our Sunday Cool Concierge members to help facilitate the switch from FedEx to UPS on your order!

Transit Time

We check the zip address for each order to ensure we are budgeting enough time for you to receive your shirts. Below, you’ll find a rough layout of transit times departing from Sunday Cool HQ in sunny Tavares, FL. Note that your zip code gives the MOST accurate timeframe:

‍

‍

Express Shipping

We are known for our remarkably fast service. We offer a 72-hour turnaround after art approval & sizes in, and then we ship! Consider also that we can extend express shipping should you need your shirts by a specific date your ground transit time does not allow. Below are some options we regularly use!

• Express (3 days)
• 2 Day Air
• Next Day Air
• Priority Overnight (delivered by noon, only available to some zips)

Each of those express services exists at different prices. Be sure to ask one of our Sunday Cool Concierge members for a quote on shipping! You’ll need to know how many garments you plan to order for the box count. 

Residential Shipping

One of our Sales members may advise you to opt for residential shipping on your order. This is due to the priority Fedex puts on residential shipping. For one, FedEx drivers, in most cases, will not deliver to a business Friday-Sunday, EVEN IF YOU’RE THERE. Residential shipping allows drivers to deliver from Tuesday-Sunday. This means if you’re in a pinch to make a weekend event, you’ll likely want to opt for residential shipping!

‍

All we need from you is a home address, and you’re set!

Holidays

One of the major opportunities for changes in transit time is holidays. Below are the dates that FedEx halts operation:

• Easter Sunday
• Memorial Day
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Day Before Veteran’s Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• New Year’s Day

No need to remember that! We account for these dates in our system when you place an order with us.
