Dispatched within 48 hours

Printed and out of our Durban warehouse in two days, then 2 to 4 working days nationwide.

Garment and print in one place

The shirt and the printing come from us, so there is no second supplier to coordinate.

How custom t shirt printing works

Three steps, and a written proof before anything is printed.

  • Send your artwork

    Vector is best, and a high resolution PNG works fine. Tell us the garment, the placement and roughly how many you need. Most enquiries are quoted the same day.

  • Approve a mock-up

    You see the design at actual size and position on the real garment colour. Nothing goes to print until you have approved it in writing.

  • Printed and dispatched

    Printed, checked for placement and colour against the approved proof, then packed and dispatched within 48 hours.

Shirts we print on

Printed on our own stock, or on garments you supply. 200gsm to 400gsm, full size runs, held in Durban.

T shirt printing questions

Pricing, minimums, turnaround and artwork.

Printing is priced by the size of the artwork, not by the number of colours. Our DTF transfer prices start at R25 for a pocket-sized print, R40 for A5, R60 for A4, R120 for A3 and R300 for a full metre of film. Printing onto our own garments is quoted per job once we know the garment, the print size and the quantity.

There is no setup fee and no per-colour charge, which is why a one-off print costs the same per unit as a small run.

No. We will print one shirt. Samples are accepted from a single unit, and small runs are welcome.

Orders are printed and dispatched from our Durban warehouse within 48 hours of artwork approval, then 2 to 4 working days to major centres nationwide.

Yes. Full back and full front prints are routine, up to a printable width of 580mm. Large graphics are printed by DTF, which handles photographic detail and gradients that embroidery cannot.

Yes. DTF prints a white underbase automatically, so colours stay accurate on black and dark garments without any extra process or cost.

Vector is best (.ai, .eps, .pdf, .svg). A high resolution PNG works for printing. For a full back print we need genuine resolution at that size, so send what you have and we will tell you honestly whether it will hold up before anything is charged.

Prints are specified for the fabric they go onto and cured properly before dispatch. Wash and care guidance is supplied with every order.

Yes. We print on garments you send us, or on our own stock if you would rather buy and print in one order.

Printing for full colour artwork, photographs and large graphics. Embroidery for logos on garments people wear for years. See our embroidery service or read embroidery vs DTF printing.

Same thing, and people search for it every way there is. Tee shirts printed, tshirt print, custom printed shirts, printed t-shirts. Whatever you call it, we print it on our own stock or on garments you supply.

Send the artwork. We will quote it today.

No setup fee, no minimum order, and a mock-up before anything is printed.
