Great product! The quality was amazing, and there was a lot of creativity in creating the apparel.
First time buying a custom item from T-Shirt Elephant. Not only was the t-shirt quality and customization quality top notch, but also the site was easy to navigate and the customization feature was very user friendly. I am 100% going to be making more of my work shirts and sweaters through T-Shirt Elephant going forward!
The t-shirts turned out great! Quality material and the print looks just like the design.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently ordered some custom apparel for my business, PhenX Stucco & Siding. We had a few issues with the hoodies and getting everything exactly how I wanted it, but the team at T-Shirt Elephant was great to deal with.
They were patient, professional, and willing to work with me to make things right. They took the time to respond to my concerns and made sure I was looked after.
Customer service goes a long way, especially when you're running your own business. I really appreciate the effort they put in.
Thanks again to the team at T-Shirt Elephant!
Everything You Need to Know About Custom Poster Printing in Canada
Printed in Toronto, shipped across Canada
Custom poster printing at T-Shirt Elephant means full-colour prints on gloss or matte poster paper, trimmed square, from 8 by 10 up to 18 by 24 inches and custom sizes in between. Order one poster for a frame or a run of two hundred for an event, priced live in the studio.
How ours are made
Posters print on our wide-format printer in Toronto and are trimmed to size. Gloss paper deepens colour for photos and art prints; matte paper cuts glare for text-heavy posters and framed pieces.
Who orders
Bands and venues for shows, schools for events and hallways, retailers for promotions, offices for signage, artists for prints, and families for photos and celebrations.
With everything else
Posters ship with stickers, buttons, magnets and printed apparel from the same account, so an event kit is one order. See die-cut stickers and buttons for the rest of the kit.
The studio offers the standard frame sizes and any custom size within the range.
8 by 10
Small prints, menus, notices and framed photos.
11 by 17
The classic flyer-poster: gig posters, school events, retail promotions, bulletin boards.
12 by 18
Art prints and retail displays; a common ready-made frame size.
18 by 24
The standard large poster for windows, venues and lobbies.
Custom
Any size from 8 to 24 inches on the longest side, in any proportion. The studio keeps your artwork's proportions and shows the trim.
Two papers, chosen by where the poster hangs.
Gloss
Bright, photo-style paper that deepens colour and contrast. Best for photos, art prints, event posters and anything with rich colour. Reflects lights, so less suited to a spot under bright spotlights.
Matte
Soft, glare-free paper that reads cleanly at any angle. Best for text-heavy posters, notices, schedules, and framed prints under glass or bright lighting.
Both
Both are indoor papers. Frame them or pin them, and keep them dry. See gloss posters and matte posters for photos and live prices.
Posters are priced per piece by size and quantity, in Canadian dollars, with no setup fee. Colour count and artwork make no difference.

Reading the ladder
Each row is a quantity break. Event and retail runs of 25 or more cost far less per poster than a single, and the studio shows the ladder for your exact size.
Larger runs
Past the top break, ask for a quote.
Retailers, offices and venues use poster runs where a printed sign has to be quick, bright and consistent across locations.
Retail promotions
Sale, seasonal and product posters in 11 by 17 and 18 by 24 for windows and counters, in identical runs for several stores.
Offices and facilities
Safety notices, wayfinding, schedules and culture posters on matte paper.
Venues and hospitality
Menus, event calendars and show posters on gloss.
Ordering as a business
Order online or ask for a quote for standing orders and invoicing. Posters ship with any printed apparel or stickers on the same order.
Posters still fill rooms.
Shows and gigs
11 by 17 and 18 by 24 gig posters on gloss for windows and poles, plus a small run of matte prints to sell at the merch table with tees and stickers.
Schools
Event posters, hallway campaigns, spirit-week announcements and gym-wall signage, shipped with spirit wear.
Fundraisers and community
Walk and run posters, campaign posters and thank-you boards.
Weddings and parties
Welcome signs, seating charts and photo posters in matte for framing.
A poster is the one printed product where file size really matters.
Files
PDF or a large PNG or JPG. For text and logos, a vector PDF or SVG stays sharp at any size.
Resolution
Aim for the largest image you have; the studio compares it to the poster size and warns when it is too small to print cleanly. A phone photo prints well at 8 by 10 and 11 by 17; for 18 by 24 use the original full-size file.
Bleed and trim
Run backgrounds to the edge; the studio handles the trim margin and shows a safe area for text.
Colour
Posters print full colour on white paper, so files print as they look. Very dark, saturated backgrounds look richest on gloss.
Both papers print full colour on a white base.
Gloss
Deep blacks, saturated colour, a reflective sheen. Photos and art shine on it.
Matte
Softer contrast, no reflections, an even surface that reads at any angle and photographs well under glass.
Brand colours
Colours reproduce closely; an exact swatch-book match is not something a digital process promises. The studio preview is the best guide.
Poster paper is for indoor display.
Display
Frame, pin, tape with removable tape or mount on foam board. Keep out of direct sun to hold colour longest.
Moisture
Keep dry. For windows that get condensation, use a frame or a laminated sign instead.
Handling
Handle by the edges; gloss shows fingerprints more than matte.
Three ways to put a message on a surface.
Posters
Paper, indoors, framed or pinned. Best for walls, windows from the inside, and prints to sell.
Window clings
Static vinyl that holds to glass with no adhesive and repositions. Best for storefront hours and sales. See die-cut stickers for window cling.
Stickers
Permanent or removable vinyl for doors, equipment and packaging.
Posters start at one and the price falls at every quantity break.
Campaign runs
Order identical posters for several locations in one run; each design prices on its own quantity.
Reorders
Saved designs stay on your account for reprints.
Very large runs
Past the top break, ask for a quote.
Posters are printed and trimmed in our North York, Toronto facility by the team that has printed custom apparel for Canadians since 2012.
One order, one box
Posters ship with stickers, buttons, magnets and apparel on the same order.
Canadian pricing
Prices in Canadian dollars with no duty, brokerage or exchange fee.
Checked against your proof
Every run is checked against the preview you approved.
Posters ship rolled in a tube or flat in a box depending on size and quantity, from Toronto to every province and territory.
Cost
Free shipping on orders over $250 before tax; carrier rates for smaller orders appear at checkout.
Taxes
GST or HST added by province. No duty or brokerage.
Tracking
A tracking number arrives by email when the order ships.
Office-supply chains and online printers do good posters. Here is where we differ.
Quantity pricing
Our ladder rewards runs, so an event or retail campaign of 25 to 250 posters prices well against per-unit counter pricing.
One order with the merch
Posters, stickers, buttons and printed tees for the same show or launch in one cart.
Canadian pricing
CAD, Toronto production, no border.
For a single poster in a hurry, a local counter may suit you better; for a run, ask us for a quote.
Poster paper is recyclable with household paper in most programs.
Less waste
Orders print to the quantity you order, and the studio makes small runs easy.
Some of the posters we print most.
Through the year
Winter: holiday retail posters, New Year event posters. Spring: school events, spring sales, tournament posters. Summer: festival and market posters, camp signage. Fall: back-to-school campaigns, Halloween events, election-season signage indoors.
By use
Gig posters on gloss, schedules on matte, art prints on either, photo posters for celebrations.
Ordering takes a few minutes.
