Custom T-Shirt Printing and Decoration: Screen Print, Direct to Film & Embroidery
Decoration is where everything comes together.
The best decoration method depends on the fabric, artwork detail, logo placement, and quantity, which is why we guide customers before production instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. From screen print and direct to film to embroidery, we help businesses create clean, consistent branded apparel that looks professional, holds up well, and fits the goals of the order.
Screen Print T-Shirts
A reliable choice for bold, durable designs and larger quantities. Screen printing delivers vibrant, long-lasting results that hold up well for staff apparel, events, and team uniforms.
Best for: bulk orders, simple logos, and long-term wear
Direct to Film (DTF) T-Shirt Printing
A flexible option for detailed logos, gradients, and smaller runs. Direct to film printing produces high-quality, full-colour results with a soft feel, making it ideal for custom T-Shirt printing and merch.
Best for: detailed logos, full-colour prints, and smaller quantities
Custom Embroidery for T-Shirts
A premium decoration method that adds texture, depth, and a polished finish to your apparel. Embroidery is a strong choice for logos that need a more refined, long-lasting look, especially on staff uniforms, corporate apparel, and customer-facing teams.
Best for: left chest logos, textured detail, and a more elevated finish

FAQs
What’s the best T-shirt for company uniforms or staff apparel?
If your team wears branded shirts daily, heavier cotton or performance T-shirts are often the best choice because they balance comfort, durability, and consistent branding. Softer lightweight shirts are popular for retail teams, events, and promotional giveaways. We’ll help you choose based on your work environment, branding goals, and budget, whether you’re outfitting a team in Tecumseh or managing staff across Windsor.
How long does the process take?
Timelines vary depending on order size and decoration method, but most custom T-shirt orders are completed within a couple of weeks. If you’re on a deadline, let us know and we’ll work with you to make it happen.
What is the minimum number of T-shirts I can order?
We’re flexible. Many custom T-shirt orders can start at just 6 pieces depending on the garment and decoration method. Smaller runs are absolutely possible, although larger quantities usually bring the best pricing. If you’re not sure what makes the most sense, we’ll help you narrow it down based on your logo, budget, and quantity needs.
What type of decoration is recommended for 100% cotton T-shirts?
Direct to film (DTF) is a strong option for 100% cotton T-shirts because it delivers excellent detail and flexibility. For larger runs, screen printing is often the more cost-effective choice while still providing durable, high-quality results. We’ll recommend the best method based on your artwork, quantity, and budget.
What’s the difference between screen printing and direct to film?
Screen printing is best for larger orders and simple designs, offering strong durability and lower cost at volume. Direct to film (DTF) is better suited for smaller runs, detailed artwork, gradients, and full-colour designs, while still maintaining a soft feel on the garment. Both methods are commonly used for branded apparel programs throughout Windsor, Lakeshore, and surrounding areas.
Can you help with artwork or logo placement for T-shirt printing?
Yes. We’ll help guide artwork setup, logo sizing, and placement to make sure your design looks clean, balanced, and consistent across your apparel. Whether you’re using screen print, DTF, or embroidery, we’ll help make sure your branding is applied properly for the garment and decoration method you choose.
What types of T-shirts do you offer for printing and branding?
We offer a wide range of T-shirts for screen printing, direct to film, and embroidery, including heavy cotton, soft blends, garment-dyed styles, and moisture-wicking performance fabrics in multiple fits and weights. With options available across a range of price points, we can help match the right T-shirt to how your team works, what your brand needs, and the budget you’re working within.
