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.

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!
Quality is great, they came fast and customer service is excellent.

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

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
