What Our Customers Say
Shirt arrived right on time, great quality and exactly what I ordered. Website very easy to use with lots of options to create your own design.
Great quality and nice to support a Canadian company!
T-Shirt Elephant came through for us! We ordered custom aprons with our logo for an event and were working with a very tight deadline, placing our order just days before we needed them. We were not sure they would arrive in time, but the team at T-Shirt Elephant was responsive and assured us they would be delivered on schedule. They kept their word, and the aprons arrived right on time and looked great. We are very grateful to their team for making it happen and would happily order from them again.
Great transaction.
Very pleased with the t-shirt
Appreciate this Canadian retailer.
Ordering was straightforward with a quick turnaround time. The sweaters ordered are of a good quality. Looking forward to the next one!
Good quality t-shirt and my custom image came out great. Prices are reasonable for a custom 1-off shirt.
Design tool easy to use, shirt quality better than expected.
Communication is excellent so far. They do their very best to accommodate late order add-ins and answer questions about logo size & placement. The website is a bit cumbersome when you are trying to reorder previous designs that you've already ordered.
Easy online ordering platform
Excellent customization of AI artwork.
Quality long sleeve t shirts
Needed a quick turnaround and got it.
Communications were excellent- not that much.
Pricing commensurate with quality.
Honestly very happy with our order! Got bachelor party t shirts printed. The shirts look great, it was made and shift quite fast and the quality is really good.
Will definitely order again!
It was my first time ordering a custom t shirt and I was pleased with the outcome. I uploaded my design and used the website's background removal tool. I was happy with the precision of the graphic. My image turned out looking great. I will use again in the future.
Friendly and responsive! Just make sure to check the sizing of the custom polo and T-shirts to avoid any surprises!
Delivery was fast and good quality. :)
Great shirts, great quality, great service!
The t-shorts i ordered were done really well and the shipping and customer service were top notch.
Service was fast and professional. Custom made with so many color options, I ordered 9 shirts in various colours and sizes. Wonderful to work with.
Great customer service, order turn-around, and quality of product. I will order again.
I had a picture of a friend printed on a t-shirt for a birthday surprise and the picture turned out perfectly. They said it would arrive in 2wks and was exactly on time. I would definitely use this company again for future custom made shirts. Highly recommend.
Fantastic company to deal with. Shirts we ordered were great quality. Correspondence with our representative was informative and pleasant to deal with. We will definitely be using this company in the future.
Reached out online and our rep Jason Sterling was able to help put in and accommodate our large order in LESS than a week. Shirts were made and shipped in a few days, the turnaround was incredible. The shirts came out really great, and they were able to let us specify some design requirements that the online design software had an issue processing. Jason also answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly via email, the experience was great. We'll be ordering more from them in the future.
Excellent design interface, lots of clothing styles to choose from
The sales staff and communications with this company are excellent and the product was as ordered. Canada Post delivered to the wrong address but all was corrected with good neighbours!
Really good quality shirts. I’ve ordered from T-Shirt Elephant before and have always been happy with how they turned out. The shirts feel good and the printing is great. I recommend them for sure!
Ordered a blank shirt in the style I needed and was pleased with the speed it was delivered and inexpensive shipping cost. Will shop here again.

Part of SanMar Canada's flagship ATC brand, it delivers retail-quality softness with an excellent print surface at a price point that works for bulk orders. When you want your custom tees to feel like a step above the basics, the 8000 is the upgrade.
Premium ring spun custom tees printed in Canada. No minimums, 10-day turnaround, and free shipping on orders over $250.

- 100% ring spun cotton — softer and smoother than open-end cotton (heathers are 65/35 polyester/cotton)
- 4.3 oz / 146 GSM — lightweight with a premium, soft drape
- Ring spun cotton yarn — finer twist produces a smoother fabric surface for sharper prints
- Taped neck and shoulders — reinforced for durability and comfort

ATC 8000 vs Gildan 5000 — The Ring Spun Upgrade
- Cotton quality: The 8000 uses ring spun cotton; the Gildan 5000 uses standard open-end cotton — the 8000 is noticeably softer
- Weight: The 8000 is 4.3 oz (lighter, drapier) vs the 5000's 5.3 oz (heavier, more structured)
- Construction: The 8000 is side-seamed (contoured); the 5000 is tubular (straight cut)
- Print surface: The 8000's smoother ring spun surface produces finer print detail
- Canadian brand: ATC is SanMar Canada's flagship brand, designed for the Canadian market
- Recommendation: Choose the Gildan 5000 for maximum value and the widest colour range. Choose the ATC 8000 when you want a softer, more premium feel — corporate gifts, retail merch, and brand apparel.
Best Print Methods for the ATC 8000
- Screen Printing — the smooth ring spun surface produces exceptionally crisp prints with fine detail and vibrant colours.
- DTG (Direct-to-Garment) — excellent on 100% cotton colours. Photo-quality prints with soft hand feel.
- DTF (Direct-to-Film) — works beautifully on all colours including heathers.
- Embroidery — clean results for small logos. Use lightweight backing on this lighter fabric.
- Heat Transfer / Vinyl — excellent adhesion on the smooth ring spun surface.
