Build the order around how you will use it

A practical starting point for your Richmond T-shirt order.

Ordering for a workplace, a group or an event calls for different choices. Use these planning examples to shape your brief, then compare the shirts below.

Staff & customer-facing teams

For a Richmond shop, restaurant or service team, start with comfort through a working day. Compare an economical classic tee with a softer jersey option, then collect sizes using that style’s chart.

Include: quantity by size, shirt colour, logo positions and whether this is a first order or a staff top-up.

School & community groups

For a Richmond class, club or volunteer team, confirm the size range before choosing one shirt for everyone. The six featured options are unisex styles; ask us about youth styles if your group needs them.

Include: adult and youth requirements separately, the artwork used across the group and your distribution date.

Events & merchandise

For a pop-up, fundraiser or team event in Richmond, decide whether the priority is an economical giveaway or a heavier tee people will buy and wear. Your print dimensions and shirt colour help complete the choice.

Include: the date you need to hand out the shirts and the delivery contact. Use an earlier date if you need time to sort or pack them.

Start with the shirt

A great print starts with a tee you want to wear.

Shortlist the blank before collecting everyone’s sizes. Compare the Gildan 5000 for an economical classic tee, American Apparel 2001 for a lighter feel, and Comfort Colors 1717 for a relaxed heavyweight option. The other three styles give you more soft-jersey and heavyweight choices.

Malcolm and the Pressing Matters team did a fantastic job. Even though I only ordered one shirt, they treated me with the same care as a big order. The price was great, the turnaround was super fast, and the print quality exceeded expectations. I'm excited to give this as a birthday gift!

I use Pressing Matters for all school spirit wear, soccer club fan wear and soccer academy kit printing. The quality of the garments is fantastic with no shrinking and the printing is consistently well done. The staff is friendly and very easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

Cassie Rodriguez

★★★★★

So glad I found this Vancouver t-shirt printing company. I had never chosen my own design before and had it screen printed on a t-shirt. It was easy to upload the design and it turned out perfectly. One can order just one t-shirt and there are lots to choose from and a great selection of colours. Communication and delivery excellent. Thank you!

Pressing Matters is a dream to work with. Malcolm and his team show up for us year after year, handling large, time-sensitive orders for our annual fundraising event with absolute professionalism. The printing is always immaculate — crisp, consistent, and exactly what we need — but what really sets them apart is their flexibility and problem-solving.

Always happy to work with the folks at Pressing Matters. They've helped me out of a jam on multiple occasions, provide great service and even custom one-off stuff is doable. Been working with them for years on multiple projects and I've always had great results.
