What are branded t-shirts used for?

Branded t-shirts are tees printed with your logo or campaign artwork for events, promotions, team days and staff casual wear, and the volume garment of our corporate clothing range. Single units are welcome on most items, screen print or full-colour DTF is matched to your artwork, production takes 3–5 working days from artwork approval, and you get an itemised quote within 24 working hours.

Branded t-shirts are printed tees carrying a company logo or campaign artwork, used for events, promotions, team days, staff casual wear and giveaways. They're the highest-volume garment in corporate merchandise because they're affordable at scale: screen printing for flat artwork at quantity, DTF for full-colour designs. Brandful supplies branded t-shirts across South Africa with no minimum order on most products and full size runs. Ranges stocked include US Basic and Slazenger.

The cheap tee is the expensive one

T-shirts are where merchandise budgets get seduced by unit price. The cheapest blank exists, prints fine, and photographs acceptably at the event, then goes translucent in the wash, twists at the seams, and finishes its life as a car rag wearing your logo. The better tee gets kept: worn to gym, to sleep, to Saturday errands, each wear a free impression.

Divide cost by wears and the cheap shirt is the expensive one. If the tee is a true one-day event item, buy cheap deliberately and know that's what you did. But if there's any chance of an afterlife, buy the blank people keep.

Branding guidance

Screen print or DTF?

Screen printing wins at volume with flat artwork: up to a few solid colours, crisp and cost-effective once quantities climb, because the setup is amortised across the run. DTF wins for full-colour designs, gradients, photographs and mixed small runs: no per-colour setup and excellent detail.

The crossover is simple: count your colours and count your quantity. Where it's close, the quote shows both so you can see the trade. Full method guidance sits on the corporate clothing pillar.

What do branded t-shirts cost?

Per unit, including print. Confirmed per garment on your quote.

R75–R200

Entry tier, per printed tee

Printed tees land in the entry tier, with volume pulling the price down fast.

Blank quality

Event-cheap or keeper. This is the decision that sets the tone of the whole order.

Print method

Screen print or DTF, and how many colours the artwork actually needs.

Quantity

Volume pulls the unit price down fast: the same artwork gets cheaper per shirt as the run grows.

A once-off R400 setup fee applies to each branding position. Selected products also include one branding position at no per-unit charge. No minimum order on most products. Itemised quote within 24 working hours. See budget tiers across the range.

The tee is rarely the whole order

Crowd days run on tees and branded caps together; the office layer above them is a branded golf shirt and, from May, a branded jacket. Same artwork, one layout file, one delivery: brief the whole kit at once and the size list only gets collected once.

Branded t-shirt FAQs

How much do branded t-shirts cost?

+
Typically R75–R200 per unit including print, depending on blank quality, print method and quantity. A once-off R400 setup fee applies to each branding position. Selected products also include one branding position at no per-unit charge. Confirmed on your quote within 24 working hours.

What’s the minimum order for printed t-shirts?

+
None on most products. One shirt is a normal order, and a small number of products carry a supplier-set minimum, shown on the product page. Screen-printing economics favour larger runs, so small and mixed runs are quoted on DTF automatically.

Screen printing or DTF: which should we choose?

+
Screen for flat artwork at volume; DTF for full-colour, gradients and small mixed runs. The quote recommends a method per artwork, and shows both where it’s close.

Can you print full-colour designs?

+
Yes, DTF handles photographic and multi-colour artwork with no per-colour cost, so gradients and detailed marks stay intact.

How long do branded t-shirts take?

+
Production is 3–5 working days from artwork approval, plus 3–5 working days for delivery anywhere in South Africa. For genuine emergencies there is a rush service on selected products marked Rush: branded the next working day, ready at Brandful in 2 working days. Order by 2pm (10am on Fridays) with full payment and vector artwork. There is no layout proof: your logo is branded as large as the rush area allows, centred.

What sizes do event t-shirts come in?

+
Full size runs, typically S–5XL where blanks allow, in men’s and ladies’ cuts, with size-split guidance for crowd orders, so you don’t over-order small.

We need 200 tees for a fun run in three weeks. Can you do it?

+
Usually, yes. Production is 3–5 working days from artwork approval and delivery a further 3–5 working days, so three weeks covers the quote (within 24 working hours), your artwork sign-off and delivery. Flat artwork in a few colours suits screen printing at that quantity, and a size split sent with the brief stops you over-ordering small.

Our campaign artwork is full colour. Will it work on 30 shirts?

+
Yes. DTF prints gradients, photographs and fine detail with no per-colour cost, which suits a short run like 30. A once-off R400 setup fee applies to each branding position, and the quote recommends the method for your artwork before anything runs.

Can we order 10 shirts for a staff braai?

+
Yes. Single units are welcome on most items, so 10 shirts is a normal order. A once-off R400 setup fee applies to each branding position, itemised on your quote, which is why a short run costs more per shirt than a long one.
