Creating my design was easy and fun! After purchasing my apparel I also realized I neglected to use the promo code they were offering, so I emailed them and asked if it could be applied and they graciously offered it in a timely manner. Great company to use!

I made Tshirts for my daughter. They came very pretty, nice colours. She loves them and wears them constantly. I washed and dried them multiple times and print holds very well. Very pleased with my purchase. I’ll definitely order more.

The ordering process was easy, and the t-shirts arrived in a timely manner and seem nice. The printing was good quality. The only minor complaint I can make is that the web site gave me no updates on the progress of my order --- even now, having received the t-shirts, it still says my order is "being processed". So I had a couple of uncomfortable weeks wondering what was happening with my order and if it would even come. Still, in spite of that the t-shirts arrived within a day of the original estimate at the time I placed the order.

Really good job. They couldn't do embroidery like they initially said they would but the finished product was still very nice. They turned the job around quicker than advertised too which was great. Would definitely use them again.

T shirt elephant was incredibly accommodating with me. I had many questions and requests in regards to making my work shirts.

They were very clear in explaining my options and in the end the result was incredible. I will be using this company for my work shirts moving forward without a doubt.

Ordered custum t-shirts for an event. THe shirts came in on time and were exactly as pictured. I appreciated how many options there were to custominze the shirts. The price was affordable even though I didn't order many (only 5). On top of that, custumer service responded quickly to my inquiries and helped me out after I made a mistake in the shipping options. I will for sure order shirts from them again for my next event.

Product Description

ATC 8000 Ultra Soft Ring Spun Cotton T-Shirt — Premium Softness at Everyday Pricing

The ATC 8000 Ultra Soft Ring Spun Cotton T-Shirt is ATC's premium tee — made from 100% ring spun cotton that's noticeably softer and smoother than standard cotton blanks. 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.

Fabric & Construction

  • 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
  • Double-needle stitching on sleeves and bottom hem
  • Side-seamed construction — contoured fit that follows the body
  • Tear-away label for easy rebranding

Fit & Sizing

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.

Popular Uses for Custom ATC 8000 T-Shirts

  • Corporate: Premium staff uniforms, client gifts, executive swag, trade show apparel
  • Retail & Merch: Clothing brands, market apparel, boutique merchandise — retail-quality feel
  • Events: Conference merch, charity events, VIP shirts, wedding parties
  • Mixed-Gender Teams: Pair with ATC 8000L for matching orders that fit everyone properly
  • Schools: Spirit wear, grad shirts, club apparel
  • Fitness: Lightweight and breathable for gym merch, yoga studios, running clubs
