Choosing T-shirts: the essentials
Full buying guidePick the fabric for the climate first
In the UAE and Qatar the fabric matters as much as the print. For indoor events and office wear, a soft 100% cotton tee is comfortable and takes every print method.
Which printing method to use
Screen printing is the cheapest method per shirt for a simple logo of one to six spot colours on 100 shirts or more, and gives the most durable, colour-accurate print. It takes 7 to 12 working days after artwork approval.
Getting sizes right
Size mistakes cost more than any other T-shirt error, because a wrong size is a wasted shirt. Ask your team for sizes before ordering if you can.
Artwork that prints well
Send your logo as a vector file (AI, PDF or SVG). For a chest logo, around 8 to 10 cm wide is the usual size; a back print can run up to around 30 cm.
How your logo goes on
| Method | Best on | Minimum | Colours | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Screen Printing | Cotton and poly-cotton apparel, Canvas and non-woven bags | From 100 pieces per design | Up to 6 spot colours; each colour is a separate screen | 7–12 working days after artwork approval |
| DTF Transfer Printing | Cotton, polyester and blends, Dark and light garments alike | From 10 pieces | Unlimited — full CMYK with a white underbase | 3–7 working days after artwork approval |
| Embroidery | Knitted and woven apparel, Caps and beanies | From 50 pieces per design | Up to 12 thread colours; matched to the closest thread reference | 8–14 working days after digitising approval |
| Dye Sublimation | Polyester and poly-blend fabric, Sublimation-coated ceramic and metal | From 50 pieces | Unlimited — full colour, gradients and photographs | 7–12 working days after artwork approval |
