What Our Customers Say
We have used T-Shirt Elephant for several orders over the years - for camp t-shirts and graduation gifts. Their fulfillment is quick, matching their timelines, and their communication is excellent. Also their prices are very reasonable. We continue to come back to them for all our custom shirt needs!
Ordered custom tees very last minute. Tried a few local companies but they couldn’t accommodate. This company was super efficient, easy to deal with, quick to respond, and very professional. Came within a week with a rush fee. Very satisfied with my purchase. Will consider this company again when doing custom work. Jason my rep was great to deal with. Impressed!
They did a great job! Customer service replied very fast and they followed through the issue very well. We will definitely order again!

T-Shirt turned out better then expected!
Fantastic customer service, rapid responses and matched a competitor when I reached out. 27 t-shirts for a wedding on a really short timeline, and they arrived with plenty of time, look great and the print quality is excellent. Shirts got rave reviews, thanks Jason!
I was nervous doing a shirt design and online ordering.. The shirts arrive exactly as designed and such great quality. They were a hit. My boyfriend wore one to work and people took pictures lol. Thanks for not disappointing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Above and beyond service from T-Shirt Elephant! We needed some t-shirts made for our family reunion and family member's 80th birthday in Canada. Unfortunately we didn't give ourselves enough time to order, but I reached out and T-Shirt Elephant was willing to expedite our order of 30 shirts and deliver within ONE week. They underpromised and overdelivered; order arrived a day early and all t-shirts ordered met our quality expectations. Everyone was delighted with the souvenirs and memories.
Amazing service and quality! I placed an order online and it was completed and delivered within 3 weeks. The print came out great and I’ll definitely be using them again in the future.
I have a great experience with T-shirt elephant. I ordered 50 baseball caps with a letter embroidered on them. First of all their turnaround time was amazing. They had my hats ready for me a week before the estimated completion date, which was great. The hats themselves came out way better than expected. The hats were an amazing quality and the embroidered letter on the hat looked amazing. I would definitely use T-shirt elephant again for custom hats or T-shirts.
Easy to use website to import design and very happy with the results. Definitely will be using again.
Love it! The shirt quality? Excellent. The printing? Beautiful, rich colours. Delivered on time. The creation tool is simple and effective; I got what I created. I definitely recommend T-Shirt Elephant!
Tshirt elephant did a great job. I was struggling with my design on other app’s but tshirt elephant’s app was able to help me get to professional quality I was looking for. The shirts themselves were very good quality and the ladies shirts were much better than the other guys I’ve used. Processing was fast and delivery was quick. I will be using this company again for my next project 😀.
My expectations were exceeded! I ordered two custom printed t-shirts for an upcoming safari trip of a lifetime and they are beyond what I expected. The design and ordering process was easy and I couldn't be happier thank you!
Ordered hats from T-Shirt Elephant for pick up, everything was easy and seamless. I got email saying it is ready for pick up in 4 days. Pretty fast taking into account how busy they are.
Shirts are extremely high quality and the communication with myself and the team was great. They rushed my order and I’m very pleased with the experience.
T-Shirt Elephant provided great service. There was a problem with my graphic and they were quick to catch it. They promptly contacted me to discuss the changes needed. Once I had fixed the error, my shirts were printed and shipped out very quickly.
Excellent communication. Fantastic final product. I will happily do business with them, again.
I ordered 20 shirts for a yearly motorcycle trip on relatively short notice. The shirts looked amazing and I had many positive comments. They also had them done quickly for me!
Very helpful during the design phase, sent us photo proofs and recommended specific design changes.
End product was high quality. Will definitely be returning for further business.
I can't recommend T-Shirt Elephant enough!
I was in charge of ordering all the swag for our family reunion (custom t-shirts and tote bags), and after a very frustrating experience with Custom Ink, I found T-Shirt Elephant at the last minute. I had been extremely clear with Custom Ink about my deadlines, but on the day I was finally ready to place the order for tote bags, they suddenly told me they couldn't get everything to Canada in time, even though they had assured me multiple times that they could.
In a panic, I emailed T-Shirt Elephant explaining that my request was urgent and asking if there was any way they could help. Not only did they respond quickly, but they delivered everything on time exactly as promised.
Then, just a week later, Custom Ink let us down again by repeatedly altering the design that my family member had worked so hard to create for our T-shirts. She was understandably upset, so I reached back out to T-Shirt Elephant with another last-minute request. Once again, they came through without hesitation, respected our design, met our tight deadline, and made the entire process seamless.
The quality of the shirts and tote bags was fantastic, and everyone at the reunion was blown away by the swag. Most importantly, the family member who designed everything was so happy to see her vision come to life exactly as she intended.
Thank you, T-Shirt Elephant, for turning two stressful situations into huge successes. Your customer service, reliability, and attention to detail far surpassed any other company I looked into. I'll absolutely be using you again!
Arrived on time, print quality was great. Fair pricing.
Beautiful printing. Excellent service. Excellent shirt quality. Very satisfied. We will continue to order for the winter. And we will recommend to friends
Excellent service with a short lead time. The dry-fit t-shirts I ordered were perfect and the silk screening on the front and bak of the logo and the year came out great with just the right placement. They know what they are doing and it shows in the quality of their work. I look forward to doing business again with them very soon.
They were able to resize my graphic without loss of fidelity. The printed graphic, while plastic, is well bonded to the material.
The shirt itself is a good weight, and delivery cost was reasonable, if a bit slow.
All in all a really good experience
Amazing quality! Tank tops arrived in time for our pickleball tournament!

Gildan 200B FAQ
Common questions about the Gildan 200B YOUTH Ultra Cotton T-Shirt
The Gildan 200B YOUTH Ultra Cotton T-Shirt is one of the most popular t-shirts for screen printing in Canada. The smooth cotton surface provides excellent ink adhesion, producing sharp, vibrant prints that last wash after wash. It works beautifully with screen printing, DTG, DTF, heat transfer, and vinyl.
The Gildan 5000 (Heavy Cotton) is 5.3 oz with a classic, slightly heavier feel, ideal for screen printing. The Gildan 2000 (Ultra Cotton) is 6.0 oz with an even more substantial weight. Both are 100% cotton. Choose the 5000 for the best balance of printability and comfort, or the 2000 for maximum durability.
The Gildan 200B YOUTH Ultra Cotton T-Shirt is preshrunk to minimize shrinkage. When following care instructions (machine wash cold, tumble dry low), you can expect minimal to no shrinkage. The fit stays consistent wash after wash.
