Welcome to the official Spreadshirt Blog. Here you can find news, partner information, and things generally worth knowing, direct from Spreadshirt HQ. At Spreadshirt, you can individually design over 80 apparel articles, open your own shop for free, or feed the marketplace with your designs.
It’s been a while since we asked for designs to decorate our new building. Last week we decided to postpone our move until mid of September (and we eventually have entrance doors), so now we even have a little more time: If you have any designs that you would like put on our new office outside walls, just drop me a note (ami AT spreadshirt . net) or leave a comment here. This is what it looks like so far.
According to High Snobiety, one of the most important figures in contemporary American t-commerce, Aaron Judah Bondaroff - a.k.a. A-Ron, a.k.a. the Downtown Don - will publish an autobiography on September 6th.
I love to see the founder of aNYthing - “the only brand that matters” sharing his stories. Already two years ago, the New York Times had a great article on him making his lifestyle a business which should be in the bookmarks of every t-shirt fanatic: you can still read “The Brand Underground” online and check Aaron´s current project “Off Bowery” afterwards in order to kill the days left until the book comes out.
Do I have to write this? The size relation doesn´t mirror reality.
Now that at least in Germany summer finally decided to look like summer again, for hygenic reasons, backpacks aren´t the bags to go with anymore. Fortunately, Alena who is responsible for Spreadshirt´s apparel, has added some new shoulder and hand bags to our stock.
On the one hand, we got the “Retro Bags“, which exactly hold a towel, a book, a cellphone, a bottle of water, a bottle of sun screen and some bathing stuff.
On the other we have the Organic Tote Bag which - I tested that myself - can perfectly hold a Powerbook, a headset, some magazines and one or two pencils.
Of course, they offer excellent printing results, too. Otherwise we wouldn´t have them.
Mirko has made it. Like millions of Europeans before him, he has gone to America in search of freedom, money and indepedence from German food. And also to help Spreadshirt US develop and manage accounting, finances and controlling, HR, internal IT and legal. Read what he thinks of his new job, cultural differences - and similarities.
Hi guys,
For those of you who like a little (early) Saturday morning browse of our websites, i want to give you the heads up that we will be having some scheduled routine performance maintenance. This will take place on Saturday, July 26th between 08:00 and 10:00 CEST (so 07:00 to 09:00 UK time). During this time, online services on our platform and all related shops won’t be operational for the following:
A screen will inform customers to come back after the scheduled maintenance period, when we will be back up and fully operational as before.
We apologise for the short notice of this announcement and for any inconvenience this might cause you.
Your Spreadshirt Team
Time’s on speeeeeed, honestly! Just yesterday or so our new Headquarter would look like this. Only a few moments later all the little dwarfs (Heinzelmännchen is what we call them in Germany) throw their scoops aside, and today it looks like this:
And in a few more weeks we will be moving in completely to our new Headquarter in Leipzig Plagwitz. Of course we spent a couple of thoughts on how we show from the outside that Spreadshirt is located here.
This is our idea: outside the building we will mount plates that look like T-Shirts in different sizes, shapes and colors (and as if they were “stuck” to the building). Therefore, we need your help!
To make these shirts not only huge T-Shirts, but SPREADshirts, we kindly ask for your support: Give us your favourite 3 designs that we should put on the shirts outside the building! In the end, we will put up 10 shirts with your designs!

Read on for an interview with our very own CEO Iron(wo)Man.
Quite a while ago, when switching our blog platform from Nucleus to Wordpress, we went on a little “Blog Safari”. Now that The International T-Shirt Day is getting closer and closer, we´re off on Safari again.
And this is how it works: 20 bloggers who
will get the brand new Zeixs book on t-shirt design or laFraise vouchers. If more than 20 bloggers take part, the winners will be drawn at random.
In addition, the best story in regards to a favourite t-shirt, which is posted before the 21st of June, will be awarded with a Samsung NV24D Digital Camera.
Jessica Hagy is well known in the blogoshere for her unique take on Mathematical Charts and Venn Diagrams. Over on her blog, Indexed, you can find over 500 notecards filled with my personal favourites such as Danger!Danger!, Let it go and Ticked. Jessicas “doodles” have proven so popular that she now has her own book (for sale on Amazon), and her own Spreadshirt Shop! Jessica was kind enough to answer a few of Michels questions, which can be found in the full post…
After the launch of digital direct in the US earlier this year and the move of our production in Leipzig to a new (and bigger) spot we finally are able to kick off Digital Direct in Europe, too. We will start with Digi Direct next week on wednesday, June 4th Mid of June.* Continue reading ‘Digital Direct @ Spreadshirt Europe’
