T Shirt Printing in Vancouver: Ordering Custom T-Shirts for Large Events

Planning a corporate event, festival, or fundraiser? We make it easy to share your important message on stylish, supersoft tees. Every year, we work with hundreds of clients looking for screen printing in Vancouver. As a local business, we can create stylish swag for all your special events, including:

• Corporate events
• Festivals
• Fundraisers
• School events
• Sports tournaments
• Construction and trade events
• Promotional campaigns
• Community events

We love helping organizers with special projects for grad, camps, and community events. Placing a bulk order requires more planning than a small-batch order, especially when there are deadlines. From preparing your artwork and garment selection to ordering quantities and delivery timelines, we work one-on-one to create wearable swag crafted with passion and precision. 

Prepare Your Artwork 

No matter the size of your order, good artwork is the foundation of successful T-Shirt Printing. For the sharp, precise garments you’ll love to wear and share, we recommend submitting designs in a vector format (AI or PDF with transparent background). A high-resolution, vector-quality PNG can also work, depending on the design. Our printing Savants will advise accordingly.

Before submitting any files, consider:

• Quality: Use vector or high-resolution artwork.
• Placement: Standard positions include left chest, centre front and back prints.
• Seams: Keep important design elements away from seams and edges.
• Brand consistency: Use the correct logos, fonts and brand colours across all shirts.

Choose the Right T-Shirts for Your Event

At the T-Shirt Printing Company, we offer hundreds of garment styles. Consider the event and what people will be doing. For outdoor venues in the heart of summer, comfortable, breathable options like ringspun cotton or poly blends make a solid choice. Alternatively, athletes may prefer one of our lightweight performance fabrics. We also offer an incredible range of business gear and workwear.

Factors to consider:

• Colour
• Fabric weight
• Fit and style
• Men’s, women’s and youth sizing
• Event location
• Indoor versus outdoor use

Calculate Quantities Carefully

Size distribution is a sticking point for just about everyone. If attendees are selecting their own sizes in advance, use those numbers rather than guessing. If shirts are being distributed without pre-registration, establish a reasonable size curve based on your audience. Generally, we recommend more medium and large shirts, with fewer small and extended sizes, 

Be Prepared

For larger events, we recommend a small buffer. Order approximately 5–10% extra shirts in medium sizes to cover unexpected circumstances that may include:

• Last-minute registrations
• Event staff
• Extra Volunteers
• Speakers
• VIPs
• Damaged or misplaced shirts
• Unexpected size changes

Screen Printing T Shirts in Vancouveer For Large Orders

At the T-Shirt Printing Company, our approach to screen printing in Vancouver is cost-effective, with better input and quality control built into our process.

Whether it’s snazzy band gear, swanky promotional products, or your own line of custom tees, our printing perfectionists use screens to precisely transfer ink to your garments. Once we’ve prepared your screens, printing large quantities becomes almost effortless, whether you need dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of garments.

Plan Your Timeline

Don’t wait until the week before your event to place a large order. For bulk screen-printing in Vancouver, scheduling 1–2 weeks for production and delivery gives us time to prepare your artwork, garments and printing process.

Consider all these factors as you build your timeline:

• Finalizing your design
• Selecting your garments
• Confirming quantities and sizes
• Receiving your digital proof
• Approvals
• Production
• Quality control
• Pickup/delivery

If your event has a firm date, we recommend building in additional time wherever possible.
