Custom T-shirts from garment to graphic
DRESSOURCE can manufacture the T-shirt and apply the decoration within one production plan. Buyers can define composition, GSM, fit, neck rib, sleeve, colour, wash, labels and packaging before selecting the printing method.
T-shirt printing methods
Screen print
Reliable for bold artwork and repeat quantities; colour separations and ink choice control the result.
Puff & high-density
Raised graphics for streetwear and statement merch, subject to line and wash testing.
Heat transfer
Detailed small runs, names, numbers and selected full-colour logos.
Water-based / soft-hand
Lower-handfeel routes on suitable cotton fabrics and artwork, confirmed by sampling.
Fabric, GSM and fit choices
Common options include cotton, organic cotton, CVC, PC and selected performance fabrics. Lightweight promotional tees and premium heavyweight merchandise require different yarn, GSM, shrinkage control and print preparation. Fit can be regular, relaxed, oversized or buyer-specific.
Artwork approval and print testing
- Confirm artwork dimensions and exact placement
- Provide vector files or high-resolution artwork
- Approve Pantone or physical colour reference
- Test stretch, curing, adhesion and wash appearance
- Approve neck label, hangtag and packaging details
T-shirts for restaurants, companies, events and brands
Restaurant programs may need staff tees plus customer merchandise. Company orders may use department colours and a controlled size ratio. Events may require a fixed arrival date and individual packing. Brands and merch companies can add private-label components and retail packaging.
Frequently asked questions
Can DRESSOURCE manufacture the T-shirt as well as print it?

Which print is best for a colourful design?
Heat transfer or sublimation may suit detailed full-colour artwork, while screen printing suits separated colours. The garment fabric and use decide the route.
Can you make oversized heavyweight T-shirts?
Yes, subject to fabric availability, GSM, colour, quantity and technical review.

Vector artwork is preferred for logos and separated prints. High-resolution raster artwork may be accepted for suitable transfer or sublimation routes.
