Fantastic quality of print, and the organic cotton shirt itself is very soft and well made.
It was delivered within about 2 weeks and was well worth the wait. I’ll be ordering from this place again.

Excellent screen printing quality, and excellent selection of high quality garments. Love that I can order just 1 item instead of a large minimum order most custom garment companies require.

I've ordered a number of custom t-shirts from T-Shirt Elephant and have always been pleased with the results. The design software is easy to use, and the selection of colours and fabrics is endless. Turn-around time is short, normally just a few days before my products are in my hands. Recommended!

The process of creating my custom hoodie for my partner was easy and clear on T-shirt elephants site. This was my first time making and ordering anything custom and they made it super easy. I chose them for that reason, and they are Canadian. No weird tax cross border stuff. my order even shipped earlier than was estimated which was awesome as it was a present. I highly recommend them.

I used T-shirt Elephant to make t-shirts for my son's birthday. The website is easy to navigate and the customer service team was helpful. It took about 2weeks for my order to be delivered and I was very happy with the quality of the t-shirts and prints on them. I will definitely use T-shirt Elephant again for making custom t-shirts in the future.

I had a great experience with this company! I ordered custom aprons and needed them on a pretty tight timeline, so I asked if they could accommodate a rush order. They were very responsive and were able to have everything ready by the deadline I requested, which I really appreciated. The aprons turned out great and I’m very happy with the final product. Excellent service and would definitely recommend!

I had a club jacket that accidentally burned and tore in a house fire. I wanted to replace it naturally. But I wanted something superior to what I had. I worked right from the Elephant webpage using the easy app from that page. It was beyond easy with some time and patience to really make it look right.

Pow. I was was done.

What came back to me looked better than the work I did on screen. It was better, bolder.... Stronger in appearance. I am happy alright.

I attempted other local companies but they (the artist) just didn't vision what I was looking for. Sometimes you have to just do it yourself as I did. It is worth it in the end.

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
