What Our Customers Say
Looks great! If only I'd ordered the correct size, my bad! Ordering another!
My first time ordering with T-Shirt Elephant, and have to say that I am very pleased and impressed. Website was easy to use to design my shirts and the delivery of my 100+ shirts arrived exactly when promised. I ordered the American Apparel T-shirt and am very impressed by the quality of the shirts themselves, as they have a nice weight, and by the printing which was spot on. Everyone that I give a shirt to is immediately impressed by the quality. Thank you T-Shirt Elephant, fantastic job!
Expectations were definitely exceeded. They cleaned up logo's for print to a level way beyond what I expected they would be able to. They made a minor error on the order and very promptly took care of making it right with no hesitation, a level of service you don't see these days. They even accommodated changes on the reproduction that they certainly didn't have to, definitely above and beyond. I would highly recommend based on the experience I've had with them.
I was hoping to cancel my order due to the shipping being later than expected and also had made some errors in my original order that I was hoping they could fix. I contacted customer service and they were kind enough to negotiate with me since the order was already processed and I was unable to receive a refund. They made sure to have the order shipped to my preferred date and were so helpful!! T-shirts turned out amazing. Will be ordering from them again if I ever need to!!
Great quality, fast shipping, very happy with our t-shirts
T-Shirt Éléphant did a great job on our company aprons. Small order needed ASAP. They look great and we’re ready for pick up within our time frame.
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.

Premium ring spun custom tees printed in Canada. No minimums, 10-day turnaround, and free shipping on orders over $250.

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.

- Heat Transfer / Vinyl — excellent adhesion on the smooth ring spun surface.
