T-Shirt & Apparel Graphic Design Request Form

Streamline Your Custom Apparel Design Projects

Whether you're a graphic designer working with apparel brands, a print shop managing client orders, or a creative agency specializing in merchandise design, this T-Shirt & Apparel Graphic Design Request Form helps you capture every detail needed to deliver outstanding custom apparel graphics.

Built for Creative Professionals & Print Businesses

This template is designed for designers, screen printers, embroiderers, and creative studios who need a clear, comprehensive brief before starting work. Instead of scattered emails and unclear specifications, you'll collect all garment details, print methods, color counts, placement specs, and licensing requirements in one organized submission.

Perfect for:

• Freelance graphic designers specializing in apparel
• Screen printing and embroidery shops
• Merchandising companies and promotional product suppliers
• Creative agencies managing branded merchandise projects
• In-house design teams for retail and e-commerce brands

Everything You Need in One Professional Form

This form captures garment types (t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and more), preferred print methods (screen printing, DTG, embroidery, heat transfer), color specifications, placement details, artwork requirements, and merchandise licensing terms. The intuitive layout guides clients through the technical aspects while maintaining a creative, brand-forward experience.

With conditional logic built in, the form adapts based on selections—asking about Pantone colors for screen printing or thread colors for embroidery—ensuring you only see relevant questions. This saves time and reduces confusion for both you and your clients.

Automate Your Design Workflow with Stepper

Once a design request comes through, you can use Stepper to automatically route the brief to your design team, create a project folder, send a confirmation with timeline and pricing, and update your project management tool—all without lifting a finger. This means you can focus on creativity instead of administrative tasks.

Payments & Client Management Made Simple

If you're quoting projects upfront, you can add pricing fields and accept deposits or full payment directly through the form using Paperform's built-in Stripe, PayPal, or Square integration. You can also send design agreements or licensing contracts using Papersign for secure eSignatures, keeping everything connected to the original design brief.

This form template gives apparel designers and print shops a professional, efficient way to capture design requirements, eliminate back-and-forth, and deliver exceptional custom merchandise every time.
