One shirt, a full group, or anything between

Custom T-Shirt Printing in Stratford, Ontario

Custom t-shirts can serve very different purposes: staff uniforms, team identity, event merchandise, fundraiser sales, school spirit wear, family celebrations, promotional giveaways, or a single personal gift. The RAD Studio helps Stratford-area customers choose the shirt, artwork, placement, sizing, and production approach around the real use of the order rather than forcing every project into one package.

Choose the shirt around how it will be worn

A basic unisex tee may suit a broad staff or event order because it offers familiar sizing and dependable colours. A softer fashion shirt may feel better for retail merchandise but carry a narrower size range. Work crews may prioritize durability and washing, while a one-day event may value price and colour.

Tell us who will wear the shirts, the season, expected use, and whether future reorders matter. Those details help narrow fabric weight, cut, colour, and availability before artwork is positioned.

Placement and artwork change the result

A left-chest logo should remain readable at a modest size. A full-front graphic can be larger and more expressive. Back prints improve staff visibility, while sleeves can carry a sponsor or secondary mark. Every extra location affects production time and price, so choose the placements that do useful work.

Provide the intended width when it matters, or use Design Preview to communicate direction. The preview is not a production proof; final dimensions and placement are confirmed against the selected shirt.

Inclusive sizes, small orders, and deadlines

Collect the full size list before selecting the garment. Selected t-shirts are available through 6XL, but extended sizing varies by style, colour, stock, and deadline. Use the manufacturer chart rather than assuming every brand fits the same.

No-minimum production may allow one shirt, a sample, a replacement, or a short run. For deadlines, include the date people need the shirts—not only the event date. Same-day work must be confirmed for the specific project.

Organize group orders before production

For teams, businesses, schools, and events, use one clear size list with names or roles only where they are actually needed. Confirm who is responsible for final approval and whether the shirts will be packaged together or distributed individually after pickup. A clean list helps prevent duplicate sizes, missing people, and late additions that can delay the whole order.

If the group expects reorders, choose a dependable shirt and record the brand, style, colour, artwork width, and print placement. Exact stock can change, but keeping those details gives future additions the best chance of matching the original run.

Produced locally in Stratford

Projects are reviewed and produced through The RAD Studio at 25 Ontario St in Stratford. We confirm the product, artwork, placement, price, and timing before production begins. Local pickup is arranged once the finished project is ready.

Begin with the total quantity and a complete size breakdown, including youth and extended sizes. Then identify the shirt colour, preferred fit, print locations, deadline, and whether the design is final. If the exact garment is flexible, say what matters most—price, softness, durability, colour, size range, or speed. That priority gives us a useful way to recommend alternatives when one shirt does not meet every requirement. For mixed groups, note whether everyone needs the same cut or whether coordinated youth, unisex, and fitted options would be more comfortable.
