T-Shirt Printing UK

Working out how many items you need early on is critical to getting the most accurate quote from your T-shirt printer. The quantity has a huge influence on the production method, and in turn can make a huge difference in the price.

If you’re aiming to simply buy as many T-shirts as you can within your budget, it’s worth advising us of the budget, so we can then provide you with the best suitable options to get the most out of your budget.

If you also want samples, knowing the quantity or budget for the bulk order to follow will also ensure you know what production method will be used on the bulk order; so you’re able to ensure the same is used on the sample (where possible).

Conversely, it’ll ensure you’re aware if there will be a different print method used on your bulk order vs the samples. You can find more information on this in our Help Centre article Print methods used on samples vs bulk orders.

This really depends. Sometimes, it’s best to opt for screen-printed T-shirts, while other times DTG is best. It comes down to a lot of factors, such as the artwork, the fabric composition, and the quantity you want to purchase.

At A.M. Custom Clothing, our expert team will generally choose the most suitable print method for your logo or design, depending on your artwork and quantity requirements. This is because we believe you shouldn’t need to be a print expert to order custom-printed T-shirts, that should come as part of the service.

Regardless of the print company you use, we only advise choosing the print method yourself if you have experience with textiles and garment printing, or have a particular finish in mind. If you have no prior experience in this field we advise leaving the print choice down to the experts who are printing T-shirts every day.

With this in mind, it’s typically best to leave the print method of choice in the hands of your T-shirt printer, to ensure you get the best results.

At A.M. Custom Clothing, we offer a lot of cost-effective options to help our customers that have tight budgets. However, when you’re comparing prices for T-shirt prints online, it’s important to remember that companies offering exceedingly cheap T-shirt print prices can only do so by cutting corners in quality, customer service, and/or ethics.

Contact our team today to see how we can make your budget stretch as far as possible without sacrificing the other factors you care about.

It is possible to make your own printed custom T-shirts at home as there are plenty of print machines for T-shirts on the market. However, this is just like any other profession you can do yourself, but, it takes longer and doesn’t typically yield the same great results.

We use some of the most advanced equipment for custom printing T-shirts and we also have some of the most skilled people to print T-shirts in our UK facilities, so you can be sure you’re getting the best quality when you buy from A.M. Custom Clothing.

Not only that, but you don’t need to spend money on equipment or stress about getting things right. Just place your online T-shirt printing order through our shop or request a quote from our team and we’ll take care of the rest.

While logo printing on T-shirts has been around for centuries, the ability to print photos on T-shirts is a relatively new one. But we have several great print methods available that allow us to deliver great results when photo printing on T-shirts.

There is no one-size-fits-all print method for T-shirt printing. Sometimes screen printing will be best, while other times DTG may be more appropriate. If you’re looking for all over T-shirt printing, then you’ll need to use sublimation.

Each method has its own pros and cons, so at A.M. Custom Clothing we offer a wide range of different options. Factors like the T-shirt’s fabric, the number of colours, and the order size will all influence the decision on which method to use.

That’s why we make things easy for you by choosing the right method for you. Just tell us what you need and we’ll take care of the rest.

The cost of printing anything onto a T-shirt depends on several factors. Firstly, the number of T-shirts that you’re producing will be one of the biggest influences, while the number of colours and the complexity of your design will be another.

These factors will change the print method that is used, with DTG being best for small orders with lots of colours/complexity, while screen printing is better for larger runs.

A single printed T-shirt could be as much as £13, however, when ordering 100 the price could be as little as £3.50 per item.

Thankfully, it’s easy to calculate the cost of printing a T-shirt when you use our online shop. Just choose the T-shirt you want and add your logo or other artwork. The designer will then automatically calculate the price based on the quantity you’ve selected.

Alternatively, you can request a quote if you’re buying more than 25 units and you’ll receive a price in your inbox in just minutes.

If you want to know more, we have put together a detailed breakdown of the factors that influence the cost of a printed T-shirt that can make it easier to understand.

Most T-shirts are made from cotton or a blend of cotton and polyester. Generally, cotton is the most appropriate fabric as it provides a balance between breathability, softness, cost, and quality.

High-quality cotton is also the most versatile when it comes to printing. Fabrics like polyester can generally only be printed using screen printing, while cotton can also be DTG printed.

Polyester is a synthetic fibre that’s mainly used for sportswear. It is generally lighter, more breathable and will dry faster than cotton.

Other materials like bamboo and rayon each have their own pros and cons. It’s not that one offers better quality over the other, but they each have scenarios for which they are best suited.

You can start your own T-shirt brand relatively easily today thanks to easy-to-use ecommerce platforms. We’ve put together a guide on how to start your own fashion brand that you may find helpful.

Some companies charge set up fees for producing printed T-shirts. This may be for setting up a machine, creating screens, or other costs. You should always check that the printer you’re using has included all of these charges in their quote.

We prefer to keep things simple, we don’t charge setup fees, and you can even place your printed T-shirts order online.

Oversized t-shirts are becoming increasingly popular, not just as a fashion item, but also for brands looking to provide fashion-forward options for uniforms and merchandise. Check our guide for personalised oversized t-shirts if you’re unsure about what’s available or whether they’re right for you.

Ideally, you want to ensure your logo is in vector format, however, if you’re placing a smaller order, then a high-quality PNG may do the job. If you’re unsure, we’d recommend looking at our T-shirt printing artwork guide, to find out what format your artwork should be in. You’ll also be able to find print-ready templates for your artwork there too.

Screen printing is still the most commonly used print method when creating T-shirts with your logo or other design on them. However, new technologies have been changing this over the last few years.

Using a method known as Direct To Garment (DTG) printing, it is possible to produce great-looking prints with as many colours as you like on small quantities.

At A.M. Custom Clothing, we offer a wide range of different print and embroidery methods for your T-shirts, though we’ll generally select the most appropriate one for you based on the unique nature of your order.

This means you don’t need to be a printing expert to decide what one is best for you, you just need to tell us what design you want to print and onto which T-shirts and we’ll take care of the rest.

If you do have a particular print method in mind, then be sure to let us know and we can let you know if it is suitable.

If you’d like to learn more about screen printing, our handy guide can tell you everything you need to know.

The time it takes to print 100 T-shirts can vary on the method used, the design(s), and the number of colours. However, this would take a couple of hours from start to finish.

Our lead times depend on more than just the physical time it takes to produce the garments though. You need to stock to arrive from the manufacturer, everything to be counted and checked, and then packed up again ready for shipping.

Lead times will also depend on what else is in the current print queue. This is why we suggest leaving 14-21 days to receive your order, though it’s always best to check the lead time when placing your order.

Producing high-quality T-shirts depends on several factors like the design work, the quality of the fabric being printed on, the machinery used, the ink, and the skills of the person doing the printing.

At A.M. Custom Clothing, all we do is print (and embroider) T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, polo shirts, and just about any other garment you can think of. So you can be sure you’re in safe hands.

There are several different types of machines that you can use for printing T-shirts, though the two main ones are screen printers and DTG printers.

DTG printers work similarly to the inkjet printer you have at home, while industrial screen printers can take up entire warehouses and look a bit like mechanical octopi.

We use some of the most advanced printers in Europe when producing printed T-shirts for our customers, so you can be sure you’ll be getting the best quality. So there’s no need for you to invest in expensive equipment.
