Custom Promotional T Shirts

Promotional T Shirt Printing Methods

Four decoration techniques are available across this range. The right choice depends on your promotional t shirt design, fabric, and order size.

Screen printing

Bonds ink into the garment under pressure for a wash-resistant, slightly textured finish. Best suited to company logo work and bulk orders with a limited colour count.

Direct-to-garment (DTG)

Uses water-based inks to print directly onto the fabric, reproducing full-colour designs, gradients, and fine detail with no setup costs.

DTF printing (direct-to-film)

Heat-transfers a printed film onto the garment, producing vibrant full-colour prints on both light and dark fabrics. Works across cotton, polyester blends, and performance materials.

Embroidery

Stitch your design directly into the fabric for a durable raised finish. Best for simple t shirt with logos and chest placement on custom prints where a flat print is not preferred.

Filter by branding method to see which products support each technique.

Choosing Your Promotional Tee Shirts

Fabric and Weight

The fabric determines how the print sits, how the garment wears, and how it holds up over time.

• 100% cotton and ring spun cotton absorb ink evenly and suit screen printing and DTG. Heavier weights (180gsm+) handle regular washing without losing shape, suited to staff uniforms and workwear.
• Cotton blends balance softness and durability and take all four branding methods reliably.
• Eco-friendly options include organic cotton and recycled material tees for orders where sustainability is part of the brief.
• Performance polyester and CoolDry fabrics wick moisture and suit sports and active wear applications. DTF printing performs best on these materials.

Custom singlets are also available for running events and warm-weather applications.

Custom Business T Shirt Fit and Sizing

Mens sizing runs from XS to 7XL. Ladies sizing runs from 4 to 6XL. Unisex styles suit mixed-gender group orders from a single size run. Slim and modern fits reduce usable print area on the chest; regular and relaxed fits give more room for larger artwork and logos.

Colour Selection

White t-shirts and light-coloured tees work with all four decoration methods and give the highest print vibrancy. Dark fabrics require DTF or screen printing with opaque inks for accurate colour reproduction.

Filter by colour to confirm availability before finalising your order. Where a smarter uniform is required for customer-facing staff, custom polo shirts are also available for office, retail, and hospitality teams.

Who Orders Custom T-Shirts

Custom tees are one of the most versatile items in any branded apparel program. The ordering logic is consistent across use cases: match the printing method to the quantity and design, and match the fabric to how the garment will actually be worn.

Common ordering scenarios:

• Corporate teams and uniforms: Bulk orders with a consistent company logo across departments or locations. Screen printing gives the lowest cost per unit at volume.
• Events and special occasions: Matching t-shirts for product launches, trade shows, and special event activations. Single design across multiple sizes, often with tight turnaround times. DTG or DTF handle these without minimum order constraints.
• Fundraisers and community groups: Group tees for charity runs, school fundraisers, and club reunions. DTG suits personalised t-shirts where individual names or small run variations are required.
• Sports teams: Custom apparel for training and competition in performance fabrics that manage moisture and hold colour through repeated washing.
• T Shirt Promotional merch campaigns: Customised t-shirts as branded giveaways for client gifts or merchandise drops. DTG and DTF both handle small runs cost-effectively when quantities fall below screen printing minimums.

For a more formal complement to casual tee programs, custom business shirts are also available.
