Serving Vancouver · Printing in Burnaby, BC
For the team, the merch table and the next big day.
Bring your Vancouver team, event or creative project together with custom-printed T-shirts. Compare six best-selling styles, explore screen printing and DTF, and plan delivery to your Vancouver address or collection from our Burnaby shop.
Plan the print around the project
A merch release, a crew order and an event each need a different brief. Start with the job the shirt needs to do, then use the six-style comparison below to choose the blank.
For a Vancouver launch or merch table, the shirt itself is part of the product. Compare a lighter fine-jersey tee with a substantial garment-dyed option and consider how the artwork sits on each fit.
Plan ahead: send the finished print dimensions, shirt colours and size quantities. If the shirts are travelling with you, give us the departure date as well as the first sale date.
Explore band merchandise →For a Vancouver business, shoot or project team, separate everyday staff shirts from a wrap gift or special edition. They may have different priorities for budget, fit and print placement.
Plan ahead: gather names or role variations separately from the shared design. Tell us whether you need one coordinated run or a small top-up so we can review the printing approach.
For a Vancouver event, work back from the day your team needs to sort and distribute the shirts. Confirm whether the same artwork will appear on staff, volunteer and participant tees.
Plan ahead: check sizes using the chosen shirt’s chart and nominate one person to approve the final breakdown. Include youth or other fit requirements separately.
Start with the shirt
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.
The economical starting point
Heavy Cotton™ T-Shirt
A practical starting point for event shirts, volunteer groups and staff tees when keeping the overall order cost in view matters. Compare the full decorated quote for your quantity.
A substantial, relaxed option
Garment-Dyed Heavyweight T-Shirt
A heavier tee with a relaxed silhouette and garment-dyed finish. Consider it for band, artist and brand merchandise where the blank is part of the look.
Another soft-feel option
Softstyle® T-Shirt
Compare the Softstyle with the other tees when choosing shirts for your team, event or merchandise. Review the product’s size chart and available colours before collecting sizes.
Soft feel. A contemporary fit.
Fine Jersey T-Shirt
Consider this tee when a softer, lighter feel is central to the brief. A useful option for team shirts, everyday branded tees and merchandise that needs to feel good on.
An everyday jersey option
Unisex Jersey T-Shirt
Include this jersey tee in your shortlist for branded shirts, events or merchandise. Compare its product details and size chart with your other choices before confirming an order.
Another heavyweight option
Heavyweight Cotton T-Shirt
Compare this heavyweight cotton tee with the other substantial options in the range. Share your preferred fit, garment colour and artwork so we can review the complete printed order.
Choose the print
Start here for runs of 24 or more T-shirts. Artwork colours, print positions and quantity affect setup and the overall quote. Send the design so we can assess its detail and the finish you are after.
Standard production estimate: 10 business days after payment and artwork approval, subject to stock and project review.
Explore screen printing →
DTF is available from one T-shirt and is an option to review for detailed or full-colour designs. Artwork dimensions and placement matter, so include the intended print size with your enquiry.
Standard production estimate: 3 business days after payment and artwork approval, subject to stock and project review.
Explore DTF printing →Not sure which method suits your artwork? Send the image, approximate quantity and preferred shirt. Tell us if you want a soft print feel, fine detail or a particular finish so we can review the trade-offs with you.
Delivery or collection
Orders of $300 CAD or more before tax qualify for free Canada-wide ground shipping, including Vancouver. Below $300, shipping starts at $19.95; your checkout or quote confirms the charge.
For a Vancouver office, studio or shared building, include the business name, unit or suite, postal code and receiving contact. Tell us if a loading entrance, concierge or scheduled receiving window needs to be considered.
Production and carrier transit are separate. Share the required arrival date so we can check suitable options; express delivery may be available for an additional charge.
Shipping details & options →Our production and pickup location is 2345 Douglas Road, Burnaby, BC V5C 5A9. We serve Vancouver from this shop.
Collecting before a shoot, show or event? Give us the date you need to leave with the shirts. Confirm your order is ready and check collection arrangements before making the trip from Vancouver.
Choose the option that fits your schedule. Pickup removes carrier transit from the plan, but your order still needs its production and approval time.
Discuss pickup with our team →Make the quote useful
A blank-shirt price is only part of the order. The tee, quantity, print method, artwork and each decoration position shape your finished quote.
For a useful comparison, keep the quantity and print scope the same across shirt options. Ask for the complete total including applicable setup, decoration, tax and pickup or delivery arrangements.

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.

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.
