Custom T-Shirts and Hoodies in Kitchener-Waterloo
Printed at our Waterloo shop
Kitchener Screen Printing is a family-owned shop at 66 Schaefer St in Waterloo, and most of the work we do starts with a t-shirt or a hoodie. We print custom apparel for businesses, schools, sports teams, festivals, and organizations across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, and the rest of Ontario.
Whether you need staff shirts, event merch, team hoodies, or promotional tees, we can help you choose the garment and printing method that fit the job.
Screen printing and DTG
Most t-shirt and hoodie orders are a good fit for screen printing. Ink is pushed through a mesh screen onto the garment, one colour at a time, which gives bold colour and a durable print that holds up after repeated washing. We print with plastisol, water-based, and discharge inks, and can add specialty effects such as puff, foil, or glow-in-the-dark. Water-based or discharge inks give a soft hand feel on 100 percent cotton. Our automated presses can print hundreds of shirts an hour.
If you only need a few pieces, or your artwork is a photo, a gradient, or a full-colour illustration, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing is often the better choice. DTG prints the design into the fabric with no screens and no per-colour setup.
The standard maximum print area is 12 inches by 14 inches. Typical full-front designs are 10 to 12 inches wide; left-chest logos are usually 3 to 4 inches wide.
