Why Saskatoon businesses order custom shirts
Custom apparel does a lot of jobs for a local business at once:
- Staff uniforms create a professional look and build customer trust.
- Event merch builds excitement and turns customers into walking advertisements.
- Team gear builds morale for sports teams, corporate groups and community organizations.
Saskatoon has a thriving small business community, and more local brands than ever use custom apparel as a marketing tool that people actually keep.
How to choose a printer in Saskatoon
- In house printing. Shops that print on site have faster turnaround and better quality control.
- No minimum orders. Small businesses and one time event organizers rarely need 50+ shirts, so a printer with no minimums matters.
- Clear pricing. Avoid printers with hidden setup fees. You should see the real price before you order.
- Fast turnaround. Events come up quickly. Look for a printer who can deliver in days, not weeks.
At Saskatoon Tees: everything is printed in our Brighton shop, there are no minimums and no setup fees, and most orders are ready in 2 to 5 business days.
Which printing method is best?
DTF, short for direct to film, is the go to for small and medium runs. It handles full colour designs with no minimums and no setup fees. Screen printing makes sense for very large runs of simple one or two colour designs. For most local businesses, DTF gives the best mix of quality, speed and price. We compare all three in DTF vs screen printing vs vinyl.
