Event Screen Printing Guide: How to Order Shirts for Events

Overview

Ordering t-shirts for events requires planning around quantity, deadlines, and budget. Screen printing is the most popular method for event shirts because it delivers consistent results at the lowest cost per shirt for bulk orders.

This guide explains how event organisers can order screen printed shirts efficiently.

 

Best Quantities for Event Shirts

Screen printing is most cost-effective when ordering:

  • 20–50 shirts: viable for small events

  • 60–100 shirts: strong value

  • 100–200+ shirts: best value per shirt

For very small runs or last-minute orders, DTG or DTF may be more suitable.

Choosing the Right Garment

Event organisers typically choose:

  • Budget garments for volunteers and large teams

  • Premium garments for staff or retail merch

👉 Compare options on the Budget vs Premium Garments page.

Multi-Size & Colour Planning

Most events require:

  • Multiple sizes (S–XL+)

  • Multiple colours within the same garment style

Keep artwork and print locations consistent across all shirts to avoid additional setup costs.

👉 See the Multi-Size & Multi-Colour Ordering Guide.

Artwork & Design Tips

  • Vector artwork is recommended

  • Flat colours work best

  • Avoid changing designs between shirts

👉 Review Artwork Guidelines before ordering.

Timeline Planning

Allow time for:

  • Artwork approval

  • Production

  • Delivery or pickup

Bulk event orders benefit from early planning to secure the best pricing.
