Company philosophy

“At Spreadshirt, we consciously accept our responsibility as a company and employer. It is important to us to pay attention to our actions and their impact, both internationally and locally at our headquarters in Leipzig and at our other locations. We make our decisions transparent and comprehensible: Employees, customers and anyone else who is interested are invited to get involved. We have an open ear for questions, suggestions and criticism at service@spreadshirt.net.”

Printed clothing and accessories are a medium that anyone can use to get their personal message out into the world – true to the motto ‘Show what you’ve got!’. Spreadshirt offers three ways to do this: self-design, marketplaces and shops. The international e-commerce company, headquartered in Leipzig, shipped over 6 million items to more than 170 countries in 2019. Around 100,000 partners market their ideas via Spreadshirt. They are printed to order at five production sites in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and the USA. Spreadshirt now has its own collection of garments, developed for good printability. Some of the basic products are made from organic cotton.
