Serving Waterloo
Custom Printing for Waterloo
The RAD Studio offers Waterloo organizations and individuals a local alternative for custom apparel, merch, DTF printing, and branded project work. Production is completed in Stratford, with an online starting process that suits student groups, small teams, offices, clubs, events, creators, and personal orders that need more flexibility than a large minimum allows.
Projects shaped around the customer, not a minimum
Orders involving several people benefit from one coordinator. That person can collect sizes, confirm spelling, consolidate artwork feedback, and approve the final direction. For clubs and campus groups, decide whether the apparel is included for members, sold as merchandise, or used for volunteers; the purpose changes how quantity, garment quality, and reorder planning should be handled.
Plan artwork, sizing, and timing together
If a design uses fine lines, gradients, photographs, or several colours, share the original file before choosing a production method. DTF may preserve complex detail well, but the print size and garment surface still matter. Include any laptop-screen mockup only as a reference and send the highest-quality artwork or share link you have.
Useful custom printing options
Waterloo-area work may include club shirts, staff apparel, launch merchandise, orientation or volunteer pieces, tournament clothing, conference items, and branded gifts. Selected t-shirts can be sourced through 6XL and hoodies through 5XL, helping coordinators plan a more inclusive order when stock and colour permit.
What to include in your request
Send the item type, quantity, complete size list, garment or product colour, desired print locations, best artwork file or share link, and the date the finished order must be in your hands. Mention whether matching an earlier order, individual names, sorting, or extended sizing is required.
Projects are produced in-house at The RAD Studio, 25 Ontario St in Stratford. We will confirm product availability, artwork readiness, price, and timing before production begins.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you print projects for customers in Waterloo?
Yes. Projects are planned online and produced at The RAD Studio in Stratford. Include the product, quantity, size range, artwork, and required date so we can recommend a realistic next step.
Are small orders accepted?
Many products can be customized in small quantities, and some projects can begin with one item. Availability and pricing depend on the garment or product, artwork, print method, and timing.
What artwork should I send?
Send the original vector, PDF, high-resolution PNG, Canva link, or best file available. Avoid screenshots when a better original exists. We will identify any cleanup or sizing concerns before production.
Can you print detailed multicolour artwork for a Waterloo group?
Often, yes. DTF printing can be a strong option for detailed or multicolour designs. Send the original artwork and garment idea so we can review small text, fine lines, background removal, and realistic print size.
