What Custom T-Shirt Printing Involves
Custom T-shirt printing takes a blank garment and applies your artwork — a company logo, an event design, a team crest, or a personal graphic — to create a finished, wearable product. In Toronto, the two practical decisions that shape every order are the garment you choose and the printing method used to apply your design.
Get A Custom uses Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing, which reproduces full-colour artwork on suitable cotton and poly-blend garments without requiring a separate screen for each colour in the design.
Common Reasons People Order Custom Shirts in Toronto
Toronto businesses order custom shirts for staff uniforms, promotional events, and branded merchandise. Sports leagues order team jerseys with crests and numbers. Schools and clubs print apparel for student groups and graduations. Families order matching shirts for reunions and milestone birthdays. Each use case calls for a slightly different garment — a heavyweight cotton tee for durability, a fitted women's cut for retail-feel staff wear, or a youth blank for kids' teams.
Apparel Options Available Through Get A Custom
The catalogue includes heavyweight Gildan cotton tees like the 5000 Heavy Cotton, the 5000B youth tee, women's options like the 64000L Softstyle and 5V00L v-neck, plus M&O Knits soft-touch tees. Each garment has its own fabric, weight, fit, and size range — all listed on its product page. Browsing the catalogue first helps you pick the right blank before quoting.
How DTF Printing Works
Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing transfers your artwork onto a garment using a film, adhesive powder, and a heat press. Because it prints digitally, it handles detailed logos, gradients, and multicolour designs without per-colour screen setup. The result is a vivid, full-colour print applied directly to a suitable garment. Suitability depends on the garment, fabric, and design — which is confirmed during the quotation process.
Choosing the Right Shirt
For staff uniforms that get frequent wear, a heavyweight cotton tee like the Gildan 5000 holds up well. For retail-feel women's staff apparel, the 64000L Softstyle offers a fitted, ring-spun cotton feel. For kids' teams and events, the 5000B youth blank is CPSIA-compliant. If you're unsure, call us — we'll recommend a garment based on how the shirts will be worn.
Individual Versus Bulk Orders
A few shirts for a family event and hundreds for a company rollout are quoted very differently. Bulk orders are priced based on your exact quantity, sizes, colours, and print placements — not a flat rate. Including your full size breakdown and colour mix in the quote request gives you the most accurate pricing.
Artwork Preparation
High-resolution PNG, JPG, PDF, or SVG files work well for DTF printing. If your artwork isn't final, you can still submit a request — we'll review what you have and discuss suitability. The cleaner and higher-resolution your artwork, the sharper the finished print.
