Same-day T-shirt printing for event dates

We quote short and long sleeve round-neck T-shirts, golf shirts (short and long sleeve), sweaters, hoodies, sweat pants and fleece jackets, as well as headwear (see cap branding). Tell us the garment, colour and sizes, or let us suggest a blank that suits your budget and use.

The method matters more than the logo. DTF transfers handle full-colour designs and small runs well. Screen printing suits larger runs of simple designs. Embroidery gives golf shirts and workwear a stitched, durable logo. The two methods below are explained in their own sections, because they behave quite differently.

DTG prints the design straight onto the fabric with water-based inkjet technology, with no screens or transfers. It reproduces gradients, photographs and fine detail well, and the print feels soft. It works best on cotton and cotton-rich garments in light colours or with a white underbase, so confirm fabric suitability on the quote. It suits small runs and one-off designs, where setup costs for other methods would be unreasonable.

Sublimation turns ink into gas that bonds with polyester fibres, giving vivid, permanent colour with no feel on the fabric. It requires polyester or a high-polyester content, and light-coloured garments, as it cannot print white or lighten dark fabrics. It is the choice for sportswear, performance tops and all-over designs. Cotton shirts are not suitable, so send your garment details and we will advise on the correct method.

Supply vector artwork or a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background, and state the print size and position. Avoid very thin lines, tiny text and gradients that fade to nothing on a coloured shirt. See the artwork guidelines. A list of sizes and quantities per size speeds up the quote.

Same-day shirt printing is subject to stock availability, capacity, job size, approved artwork, payment and a confirmed deadline. Blank garments that must be sourced, multiple colours and large quantities add time. Collect from our Rivonia shop once we confirm readiness, or ask us to quote delivery.
