Printing companies can work on short and long sleeved t-shirts, polo shirts, high visibility vests, sweaters, hoodies and jackets for men and women alike. Unisex clothing is also available. Additionally, these companies can also print on aprons, hats, towels, blankets and much more. Any leisure wear or workwear which you want customised can be printed in no time.

You can find a vast range of colours and materials, along with sizes from XS to 4-5XL to cater from petite to large sizes.

Printing Methods

Printing companies may use different printing methods, each with their own pros and cons. Most common methods include screen printing, digital printing, glitter printing, vinyl printing and DTG (direct to garment) printing. If printing a specific colour is crucial, especially in the case of company logos, it would be best if you send the exact pantone, in order to avoid colour mishaps. The staff will advise you on the best printing method to use.

Cost

How much will a personalised t-shirt cost on average? It depends on a lot of factors- whether you're printing on the front, back, on the sleeves or on all sides of the shirt, colour used, the printer being used, size of print and photos and quantity. Usually, these companies provide special offers for large quantities.

How does the process work?

So, you've decided you're going to order a personalised t-shirt. What's the next step?

You can choose to either visit a printing shop in person, provide it with the required text and photos and then pick up the end product when it's finalised. On the other hand, there are several companies with online portals where you can upload all the material you want printed, create your own t-shirt design, and submit the order, together with the payment, online. You would then either be required to pick up the final product or have it delivered to your home.

When it comes to the actual garment, you can either choose to provide them with a shirt yourself or else they supply the shirt from their end; the latter being the most common procedure. If you're not certain on the size which would fit you best, you can ask them to try out a sample as sizes of different brands may differ considerably.

With regard to the artwork, you can either create your own design and submit a finalised artwork with high resolution, or if you're not the creative sort, you can send the required text, images and photos to the printing company and they will, in turn, transform your ideas into print and provide you with a suitable design. Once all amendments are done and the artwork is approved from your end, it will be sent to print and the garment will be at you in a couple of days.
