Custom apparel in Etobicoke
Etobicoke apparel work is mostly crews and clubs, and the two want opposite things. The trades and contractors working out of Rexdale and the industrial blocks near the airport want hoodies and hi-vis that survive a season, in quantities that make screen printing obviously correct — twenty-four pieces per design is where that process starts, and most crew orders clear it without trying.
The sports and community side is the other half. Etobicoke has a dense club scene, particularly around Long Branch and Alderwood, and those orders are the awkward shape: forty players, forty different numbers, three sizes of parent. That is a DTF job rather than a screen job, because there is no minimum and every piece can be different without adding a setup. One shirt is a real order here, which matters when someone joins in week three.
Along The Queensway and through Mimico the work is hospitality and retail — aprons, polos, caps for staff who are customer-facing and photographed. Those are usually embroidery rather than print, because thread survives commercial laundry in a way that a printed logo does not. We digitise in-house, which means the first order takes a little longer and every reorder after it is quick.
The thing worth knowing before ordering is that garment choice matters more than decoration choice. A cheap blank with a beautiful print is a shirt nobody wears twice, and an unworn shirt advertises nothing. We would rather talk you up a garment tier and down a decoration than the other way round, and for a crew that is outside all winter that is not a preference, it is the difference between kit and landfill.
How it worksQUOTE → ARTWORK → PROOF → PRODUCTION
01
Quote
Tell us what you need — a photo of the old sign is enough to start. You get a written quote back within 24 hours on weekdays, with the specs written out so you can compare it to anyone else's.
02
Artwork
Send print-ready files and we use them as they are. Send a logo and a rough idea and we set it here, with the setup quoted up front rather than added at the end.
03
Proof approval
Nothing goes to production until you approve a proof in writing. On print that is a PDF at size; on apparel it is a mockup on the actual garment colour. Turnaround starts from this step, not from the deposit.
04
Production and delivery
We produce it here and deliver across the GTA, or hold it for pickup in Mississauga if that is faster. Your artwork stays on file, so the reorder skips straight to production.
FAQASKED IN THIS CITY
Custom apparel in Etobicoke, answered
What is the minimum order for custom shirts in Etobicoke?
For DTF there is no minimum — one piece is a real order, which is what makes it right for club kit where every shirt has a different number. Screen printing starts at twenty-four pieces per design, up to six colours, and is the cheaper choice above that.
Print or embroidery for hospitality staff?
Embroidery, in almost every case. Aprons, polos and caps in a restaurant or café go through commercial laundry repeatedly, and thread survives that where a printed logo cracks and lifts. We digitise in-house and keep the file, so reorders are fast.
Can you do numbered team kit?
Yes, and DTF is the right process for it. Every piece can carry a different name and number with no extra setup cost, so a squad of forty is priced the same per shirt as a squad of four. Add a player in week three and it is a one-piece reorder.
