CUSTOM RHINESTONE T-SHIRTS MANUFACTURER
Hand-set and hot-fix rhinestone detailing on premium cotton t-shirts, produced in-house with a low minimum order of 50 pieces per design.
Custom Rhinestone T-Shirts Manufacturing
Star Faith International manufactures rhinestone t-shirts using the same hot-fix crystal application process behind our rhinestone hoodies, applied to a lighter cotton tee base. Cutting, sewing, and embellishment all happen in the same facility, keeping crystal placement consistent with your design template across the full run.
Hot-fix rhinestone application uses crystals with a heat-activated adhesive backing, applied through a template with a heat press so each stone bonds securely into the fabric weave, rather than sitting loosely on the surface like cold, glue-applied stones.
Why Brands Choose Our Rhinestone T-Shirts
- Machine-set hot-fix application — crystals are heat-bonded through a registered template for accurate, repeatable placement.
- Wash-durable bonding — hot-fix adhesive sets into the fabric weave, holding up far better than cold-glued stones.
- Design flexibility — logos, wordmarks, and all-over crystal patterns can all be produced from a single digitised template.
- Low minimum order — 50 pieces per design and colourway, workable for premium capsule drops.
- Lightweight cotton base — 180-200 GSM fabric keeps the tee wearable while still giving embellishment a stable base to bond into.
Fabric, Fit, and Customization Options
Rhinestone tees are built on 180-200 GSM ringspun cotton, in regular or fitted cuts, with crystal placement available on the chest, back, sleeve, or as an all-over pattern. We work with standard clear and coloured hot-fix crystal grades, with size and density adjustable to match your design's detail level.
Rhinestone work can be combined with embroidered lettering, DTG graphics, or foil printing on the same garment. Care labelling specific to embellished garments is included as standard, along with private label packaging options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the rhinestones fall off after washing?
Hot-fix crystals are heat-bonded into the fabric weave and are designed to withstand normal machine washing when care instructions are followed.
What is the difference between hot-fix and glue-on rhinestones?
Hot-fix stones bond through heat-activated adhesive into the fabric, while glue-on stones sit on the surface and detach far more easily.
Can rhinestone designs be combined with embroidery or print?
Yes, crystal work is commonly layered with embroidered lettering, DTG graphics, or foil printing.
Do you offer coloured crystals or only clear?
Both clear and coloured hot-fix crystals are available across several size grades.
What is your minimum order quantity?
50 pieces per design, per colourway.
Do you test wash durability before bulk production?
Yes, our approval sample includes a wash test to confirm crystal bond strength before the full run is produced.
