No Minimum T-Shirt Printing

No minimum t-shirt printing refers to a printing service that allows you to order custom t-shirts without having to meet a minimum order quantity (MOQ).

In other words, you can print just one shirt if you want, instead of being required to order a set number like 10, 25, or 50 shirts. 

Key Features

  • Print-on-demand: Often used in services where items are made to order.
  • Great for individuals: Ideal for personal gifts, prototypes, or one-off designs.
  • Low commitment: No need to invest in bulk quantities.

Common Printing Methods

  • Direct-to-Garment (DTG) – best for no-minimum printing, allows full-color designs and works like an inkjet printer.
  • Heat transfer or sublimation – also supports single-item printing.
  • Not common with screen printing, which is better suited for large batches due to setup costs.

Who uses it?

  • Small businesses testing designs.
  • Independent artists or creators.
  • People creating personalized gifts or event shirts.
  • Startups with limited budgets.

Custom T-Shirt Printing Services

There is no shortage of custom t-shirt printing services with no moq these days. The best way to get started is to simply try some out. The t-shirt quality can only be determined by buying one and seeing if it fits your requirements.

Aliexpress

There is a growing number of t-shirt printing services on AliExpress. The best way to find them is to try several different search phrases. Each search phrase will generate a different result.

Here are some of the search phrases I like to use. Click the links to view the search results for each specific search phrase.

Check each listing

  • Check each listing for the number of sales. More sales means popular product.
  • Check the reviews for positive feedback in relation to how it applies to you.
  • Check the reviews for repeat customers. It's a good sign if you see a customer has purchased multiple times over a period of time from the same supplier.
  • Check reviews from your own country. In my case, reviews from my own country carry a little extra weight.

eBay

No minimum t-shirt printing can also be found on eBay. Apply the same techniques as listed above for Aliexpress.
