Gildan T-Shirts, Printed and Embroidered

Custom Gildan t-shirts are the entry point for most apparel budgets, and this catalog runs the brand from its most basic crewneck through toddler, heavyweight, and long sleeve versions, all decorated the same way as the pricier Comfort Colors and AS Colour brands sitting elsewhere in the wider shirt catalog.

A $5.99 to $33.99 Range on Custom Gildan T-Shirts

A printed Gildan tee starts at $5.99 on toddler and lightweight cotton styles, while an embroidered crewneck or ringspun cotton tee tops out at $33.99. That range gives a Gildan order room to mix budget basics with a heavier embroidered piece under one brand and one invoice.

Printed and Embroidered Nearly Split Evenly

Print and embroidery are offered in close to equal numbers across the Gildan lineup, so a full-color design and a simple embroidered logo both land on the right piece without switching brands mid order. Printing carries the detail of a photo-based graphic better, while embroidery holds a small logo through more washes.

Toddler Sizing Keeps Gildan Orders Family-Friendly

Toddler sizes sit in the Gildan lineup alongside men's and women's cuts, useful for a family order or a youth program that wants one recognizable brand across every size in the group, from the youngest sibling up to a full-grown coach.

Who Orders Custom Gildan T-Shirts From Arklavo

Custom Gildan t-shirts work as a starting brand for a wide range of buyers, not only teams ordering in bulk.

Nonprofits and events

For a one-day event, a fundraiser prints a $5.99 Gildan tee without committing to an embroidered upgrade.

Schools and universities

Spirit-day tees for students and embroidered polos for staff share one invoice when a school sticks with the Gildan lineup.

Corporate offices

Leadership gets embroidered Gildan crewnecks while the wider team wears the same design printed on Gildan tees, all from one office order.

Restaurants and cafes

Holding a stitched logo through repeated wash cycles is why a kitchen crew wears the embroidered ringspun Gildan tee.

Retail and boutiques

A printed Gildan toddler tee sits next to an embroidered adult version on the same shelf when a shop stocks one recognizable brand.

Gyms and fitness studios

Ahead of a monthly challenge, a studio prints a $5.99 Gildan tee instead of paying embroidered pricing on a short-run design.

Hotels and hospitality

Front-of-house staff get embroidered Gildan ringspun tees, while a seasonal giveaway runs on lighter printed Gildan cotton, both from the same property.

Sports teams and leagues

Matching siblings and players at the same per-shirt price is what a rec league gets from Gildan toddler-through-adult tees.

Landscaping and trades

Daily outdoor wear outlasts a lightweight printed tee fast, so a landscaping crew wears the embroidered heavyweight Gildan version instead.

Security firms

For a training day, a guard service embroiders a Gildan tee, keeping its uniform shirts on a separate page entirely.

“Gildan orders on the value end of the catalog often start as a print-only test run before a buyer adds an embroidered piece for staff or leadership. The volume ladder, 5% off at the first threshold and climbing to 25%, applies across that mixed print-and-embroidery order the same way it applies to a single-decoration run, so testing before scaling never costs extra.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price range for custom Gildan t-shirts?

Printed Gildan tees start at $5.99 on toddler and lightweight cotton styles, and embroidered Gildan styles, including long sleeves and ringspun cotton tees, run up to about $33.99. Both options carry no setup fee, and the flat per-piece price applies before Arklavo's automatic volume-ladder discount lowers it further as order quantity grows.

Can I order a single custom Gildan t-shirt?

Yes. No Gildan style carries a minimum order, so one shirt starts at the same per-unit base price as a larger order, with Arklavo's volume ladder lowering that larger order's rate further. A free digital proof confirms your design before production either way, and there is no extra charge for ordering just one.

Do custom Gildan t-shirts come in toddler sizes?

Yes. Toddler Gildan t-shirts, both printed and embroidered, are part of the catalog, so a family or youth order can stay on one brand across every size, from a toddler cut up to a men's or women's fit.

Is printing or embroidery better on a Gildan t-shirt?

Printing suits full-color or photo-based designs on Gildan cotton, since it reproduces more detail. Embroidery works better for a simple logo or text that needs to hold up through repeated washing over a longer period.

How do I add my logo to a custom Gildan t-shirt?

Upload your logo or design and choose printed or embroidered depending on the style you pick. Arklavo sends a free digital proof for approval before anything goes into production, so you see the placement and colors on the actual Gildan tee first.

Can I order custom Gildan t-shirts in bulk or wholesale quantities?

Yes, larger Gildan t-shirt orders qualify for Arklavo's volume discount ladder, with savings stepping up at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% as quantity grows. No separate wholesale account is needed, and the same production and proof process applies at every order size.

What is the cheapest t-shirt option in this catalog?

The lowest-priced option in this catalog is a printed tee in toddler or lightweight cotton styles, starting at $5.99 with no setup fee. That price point sits within the Gildan lineup. Ordering more than one does not change the per-unit price, and the volume ladder lowers it further as quantity increases.

Does Arklavo carry the Gildan Softstyle t-shirt?

Arklavo does not stock a dedicated Softstyle line, but the Gildan lineup includes ringspun cotton, heavyweight cotton, and lightweight cotton tees with a similarly soft hand. Any of these can serve as a comparable soft-cotton alternative for printing or embroidery.

Can I put a full graphic design on a custom Gildan t-shirt?

Yes. Printed decoration handles full-color and photo-based graphics well on Gildan cotton, since it reproduces fine detail and color gradients. Embroidery suits a simpler logo or short text better, so a graphic-heavy design belongs on one of the printed Gildan styles.

What sizes are available for custom Gildan t-shirts?

Gildan t-shirts come in men's, women's, and toddler sizing across the lineup, with fits ranging from lightweight cotton to heavyweight cotton and long sleeve styles. Each product page lists the full size chart and available range for that specific style before you order.
