A well-printed t-shirt is the slowest-burn piece of brand advertising in your mix — the good ones live in wardrobes for five years. Sense2 stocks and brands AS Colour, Gildan Heavy Cotton, Continental EarthPositive and US Blanks for Australian and NZ clients ranging from Sydney Festival and Byron Writers' Festival through to Telstra internal event runs. Our standard production window is 3 weeks for screen-printed stocked blanks; full-custom garments require 10–14 weeks and 300+ MOQ.

The best promo t-shirt lives five years in a wardrobe — which means the blank matters more than the budget line suggests.

How to choose custom printed t-shirts

T-shirt decisions sit on three axes: blank quality, print technique and quantity.

Blank quality is where most briefs go wrong. AS Colour Staple (180gsm, ring-spun combed cotton) is the Australian default — premium feel at a fair price, stocked in 18 colours and sizes XS–4XL. Continental EarthPositive (GOTS-organic, Climate Neutral) is the ESG default at a 20–30% premium. Gildan Heavy Cotton 5000 at the value end prints well and holds colour but fits boxy — fine for giveaways, not ideal for retail or staff uniform.

Print technique matches quantity. Screen print at 100+ units is cheapest per unit and holds colour through hundreds of washes — every Pantone is a separate screen, so multi-colour logos stack up setup fees. DTG (direct-to-garment) digital print wins for sub-100 runs, full-colour photography and gradients; softer hand-feel but slightly less wash-resistant after 40+ washes. Embroidery works on heavier weight garments and premium polos but has a 10k-stitch ceiling before cost spikes.

Sustainability: GOTS-certified organic cotton, GRS-certified recycled polyester and Climate Neutral-certified brands (Continental, Stanley/Stella) are well-stocked. NSW government tenders increasingly require verifiable recycled content or organic cotton certificates.

Size mix: standard Australian distributions are 10% XS, 20% S, 30% M, 25% L, 10% XL, 5% 2XL+ for mixed-audience events. Staff apparel usually skews slightly larger.

Lead times: 3 weeks screen-printed stocked blanks, 4 weeks DTG, 6–8 weeks embroidery, 10–14 weeks full custom dye and cut. MOQs: 25 stocked, 300 for custom dye body, 50 per size for embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order?

25 units of a stocked blank, screen-printed with a 1–2 colour logo. Smaller runs (1–24) are possible via DTG digital print at a higher per-unit cost — the economics flip in favour of screen print at about 75+ units. Below 25, DTG and heat transfer remain viable for sub-$20 per unit.

How should I pick between screen print and DTG?

Screen print for 100+ units, bold logos, 1–4 colours, and high-wash-cycle garments like uniforms. DTG for photographic or gradient artwork, sub-100 runs, and mixed-size size-mix orders. DTG is slightly softer to the touch and slightly less wash-durable after 40+ washes — fine for event and festival use, not ideal for daily uniform.

Can I order organic or recycled cotton?

Yes. Continental EarthPositive, Stanley/Stella and AS Colour ReTee (recycled cotton) are all GOTS- or GRS-certified and stocked. Certificate numbers are supplied with every order for ESG reporting. Expect a 20–30% price premium over conventional cotton at the same garment quality level.

Do you do full-custom dye and cut?

Yes — fully custom-dyed body, custom-cut pattern, custom tags and neck labels produced in Bangladesh or Turkey. MOQ is 300 units per colour/size run combination with 10–14 week lead times. Recommended only for brand-owned retail, festival merch lines, and staff uniform programs with recurring reorder cycles.

Can I print on every garment size?

Yes — artwork scales across sizes with optional per-size adjustment for junior, women's cut and 3XL+. For sublimation-printed designs where print covers the whole garment, artwork is adjusted per size panel to keep logo placement and scale consistent across the entire run.

What's the turnaround time?

Screen-printed stocked blanks: 3 weeks from artwork approval. DTG digital print: 4 weeks. Embroidery: 6–8 weeks depending on stitch count and garment mix. Custom-dyed full-cut apparel: 10–14 weeks including artwork proofing, pre-production sample approval and overseas production.
