Case Study: Five Nine Print Shop streamlines custom T‑shirt design and production with CorelDRAW

Creating Custom T-shirts with CorelDRAW

Five Nine is a small, family‑run custom screen print shop in Oklahoma City led by owner/designer Dustin Barr. To handle t‑shirt design, color separations, illustration, mockups and business collateral, Five Nine relies on CorelDRAW—specifically CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2018—to power its daily design and production workflow.

CorelDRAW supplied vector and layout tools (Bézier, Envelope, advanced type handling and keyboard shortcuts) that streamlined Five Nine’s processes, enabled precise separations and fast client approvals, and supported high‑volume orders and complex projects. By using CorelDRAW, Five Nine has sustained a busy production schedule, expanded its client work (including collegiate apparel and projects for Dell and the U.S. Marine Corps), and delivered professional results across thousands of custom shirts.
