Which Printing Method Suits Your Job
Four methods, and the right one depends on your artwork, garment and quantity. We will tell you honestly which is best for your job — including when the cheaper option is the better one.
| Method | Best for | Quantity | Same-day? |
|---|---|---|---|
| DTF transfers Direct to film | Full colour, photographs, gradients, fine detail. Works on cotton, polyester and blends, any garment colour. No per-colour charges. | From 1 | ✓ Yes — fastest |
| Screen printing | Larger runs of flat-colour designs. Lowest unit cost once the screens are made, and the most durable finish for big volumes. | From 25 | ✗ Allow 5–7 working days |
| Embroidery | Polos, caps, beanies, fleeces and workwear. A stitched left-chest logo where a print would look wrong. | From 1 | ● If the logo is already digitised |
| Vinyl | Names, numbers and simple one or two colour text. Sports kit, team shirts, event staff. | From 1 | ✓ Yes |
Most London orders come to us as DTF, because it handles full-colour artwork with no setup fees and no minimum. If you are printing 100+ shirts in one or two flat colours, screen printing will usually work out cheaper — ask and we will price both.
We print the same four ways on hoodies, sweatshirts, polos and tote bags, not just tees — so a mixed order of printed t-shirts and hoodie printing goes through as one job, one delivery.

T-Shirt Printing Prices
Print cost per garment, excluding the garment itself. A blank tee starts from around £2.50 for a budget Gildan and rises with brand and weight, so we quote print and garment together and you see one number.
| Method | 1–10 pcs | 25–49 pcs | 100+ | Setup |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DTF (full colour) | from £10–£15 | from £7–£10 | Ask — volume rates | None |
| Screen printing | — | Quoted per job | Lowest unit cost | Per colour, per job |
| Embroidery | from £12–£18 | from £8–£12 | Ask — volume rates | £15 digitising, one-off per logo |
| London courier | from £10–£25 depending on postcode and timing | — | ||
What you will not be charged for: file checks, a digital mock-up before you commit, or a rush fee on same-day orders approved before our 1 pm cut-off. If a peak-day express handling fee applies, we tell you before you commit, never after.
Send artwork and quantities for an exact figure — quotes usually come back within the hour.
Turnaround — Including Same Day
⚠️ Honest about same-day: it depends on capacity, stock and how print-ready your artwork is. Complex reworks, out-of-stock garments or large runs may push to next day. We will tell you straight away and offer the fastest workable option rather than promise something we cannot hold to.

Artwork Checklist
Files that tick these boxes get approved fastest and print best:
Format: PNG with a transparent background, PDF, or vector (AI, EPS, SVG). 300 DPI at the size it will be printed.
Colour: sRGB. Include Pantone references if you need an exact brand colour matched in embroidery thread.
Legibility: keep small text and line work at 2.5–3 mm stroke or thicker. Hairlines do not survive pressing.
Placement: tell us where and how big — for example left chest 10 cm, or full back A3 — and we will mock it up.
No time to prep files? Our design team removes backgrounds, vectorises logos and fixes resolution from £25, often within the hour.

Areas we cover
We are ten minutes from Stratford and twenty from the City, so most of our collections come from Newham, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Redbridge and Barking.

Everywhere else in the UK goes tracked next day.

Why Print With Us
T-Shirt Printing London — FAQ
How much does t-shirt printing cost in London?
DTF printing starts from around £10 per garment for small quantities and drops to about £7–£10 from 25 pieces, with volume rates above 100. Those are print costs; the garment is on top, from roughly £2.50 for a budget blank. Screen printing is quoted per job and becomes the cheapest option on larger flat-colour runs. Send your artwork and quantity for an exact price.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum for DTF, vinyl or embroidery — we will print a single shirt. Screen printing starts from 25 pieces because of the setup involved.
What is the cut-off for same-day printing?
Approve your proof by 1 pm and same-day collection is usually available from 4:30 pm, or we arrange an evening London courier. Later than 1 pm, message us anyway — it often still works, it just depends on what is on the press.
Which printing method should I choose?
DTF for full-colour artwork, photographs or small runs — no setup, no per-colour fees, works on any garment colour. Screen printing for larger runs of one to three flat colours, where the unit cost drops well below DTF. Embroidery for polos, caps and workwear where a stitched logo suits better. Vinyl for names and numbers. Tell us the job and we will recommend one, including when it is the cheaper one.
Can you print on polyester, blends and hi-vis?
Yes. DTF bonds well to cotton, polyester and blends with vivid colour and a properly opaque white, which is why it is our default for sports and performance fabrics as well as standard cotton tees.
Can I bring my own garments?
Usually yes. We check fibre content and seam positions first to make sure the method suits the garment. Bring a spare or two if you can, in case we need a test press.
How long will the print last?
Wash inside out at 30–40°C and avoid tumble drying and a DTF print will hold colour through many dozens of washes. Leave the garment 24 hours after pressing before its first wash. Screen prints and embroidery are more durable again on heavy-use workwear.
Do you deliver outside London?
Yes — tracked next-day delivery across the UK. Same-day courier is London only. If you would rather press transfers yourself, we ship DTF gang sheets nationwide.
Do you print for businesses on account?
Yes. If you order regularly we keep your artwork and sizing on file so reorders take one message. Talk to us about workwear and uniform programmes and repeat-order pricing.
Do you print hoodies and sweatshirts too?
Yes — hoodies, sweatshirts, polos, caps and tote bags all go through the same four methods. Mixed orders are normal: printed t-shirts and hoodies together come through as one job with one delivery. DTF suits full-colour graphics on hoodies; embroidery suits a stitched chest logo.
Can you print just one t-shirt?
Yes. There is no minimum on DTF, vinyl or embroidery and no setup fee, so a single shirt is a normal order for us rather than an awkward one. Collect it from E7 or we will post it.
Where exactly are you based?
Unit 2, Sherrard Works, 1A Sherrard Road, London E7 8DN — between Forest Gate and Woodgrange Park. Everything is printed on site. Directions and contact details.
