Custom T-Shirt Printing in Vancouver, BC
Power Print runs custom t-shirt printing out of one Vancouver shop, using three methods — screen printing, DTF, and transfer printing — rather than farming your order out to whichever subcontractor happens to be cheapest that week. No minimum order, a free mockup before anything's printed, and everything produced in Canada.
Choosing a Printing Method
The right method depends on your design and order size, not just what a shop happens to run:
- Screen printing — the most cost-effective option for bulk orders of the same design; ink is pushed through a mesh stencil for bold, durable colour that holds up through repeated washing
- DTF (direct-to-film) printing — full-colour, photo-realistic results with no minimum order, better suited to detailed artwork or smaller runs
- Transfer printing — fast and flexible for mixed designs or quick-turnaround Vancouver orders
Not sure which fits? Contact our team and we'll recommend a method based on your artwork and order size before you commit to either.
What We Print
- Custom t-shirts — the most common order for events, teams, and branded merch
- Custom hoodies — a Vancouver staple for cooler months and outdoor brands
- Custom polos — corporate and staff uniform apparel
- Custom jackets — softshells, workwear, and outerwear
- Custom hats — printed or embroidered headwear

Who Orders Printing in Vancouver
Restaurants across Gastown and Yaletown printing staff shirts, UBC and SFU clubs printing event tees on a term deadline, non-profits printing fundraiser merch, construction companies ordering printed workwear, and corporate teams building out full promotional item packages — the order book is as mixed as the city.
The Free Mockup Standard
Every print order gets a digital mockup before production — exact placement, colours, and sizing — so you're approving what you'll actually receive, not guessing from a text description. It's the same standard we hold for embroidery orders, just applied to ink instead of thread.
How to Order
- Choose your blank apparel or product
- Upload your logo or artwork
- Approve your free mockup
- We print and ship — no minimum order, no setup fees to worry about upfront

Pricing depends on the printing method, number of colours, and order size. Upload your artwork for an instant online quote, or contact our team for a custom estimate.
Should I choose embroidery or printing for my logo?+
Detailed, full-colour, or gradient logos usually print better than they stitch, while simpler logos and wordmarks look sharper embroidered. See our embroidery page for a side-by-side comparison, or contact us before ordering either.
How fast can I get custom printed apparel in Vancouver?+
Turnaround depends on order size, method, and design complexity, and your production timeline is confirmed once your free mockup is approved.
