Same Day Printing Begins
Pickup or Delivery
Same Day Order Cutoff and Turnaround Time
Same day t-shirt printing depends on timing. Orders placed earlier in the day have the best chance of same day completion, especially when the artwork is print-ready and the garment is in stock.
To avoid delays, we recommend submitting your order as early as possible. After we review your design and confirm availability, we’ll provide an exact production estimate so you know what to expect before we begin printing.
Same day availability is not guaranteed until artwork and garment stock are confirmed.
Printing Methods for Same Day Orders
Not every printing method works for rush production. Same day t-shirt printing requires techniques that can be set up quickly while still delivering clean, professional results.
Depending on your artwork, garment type, and quantity, we recommend one of the methods below.
Read more about DTG vs DTF vs Screen Printing comparison guide
DTF is one of the best options for same day printing because it allows quick production with strong colour output and durable results.
It works well for logos, small runs, and designs that need to look sharp without long setup times.
Best for:
- urgent small to medium orders
- logo prints and bold designs
- customers who need fast results without limitations
Screen printing is best known for bulk production and long-lasting prints, but it can also work for same day orders in specific cases, especially when the design is simple and the order is planned early enough in the day.
Because screen printing requires setup, it’s typically recommended for single-colour or limited-colour designs and quantities that justify the production time.
Best for:
- simple 1–2 colour designs
- team or event shirts
- orders placed early with confirmed artwork
Embroidery may be possible for some same day requests depending on design complexity, stitch count, and machine availability.
If your deadline is strict, we recommend confirming embroidery availability before placing the order, as it is not suitable for every rush timeline.
Best for:
- small logos on chest placement
- premium uniform-style apparel
- simple designs with low stitch count
Who Same Day T-Shirt Printing Is For
This is ideal if you need:
- Last-minute event shirts
- Emergency staff shirts or uniforms
- Same day promo shirts
- Gifts that must be ready today
- Small team or crew shirts for events
- Quick branded apparel for pop-ups
This may not be a fit if:
- You need a large bulk run by today
- You want specialty finishes that require longer production
- You need advanced embroidery with complex stitching
- Your artwork needs redesign or heavy cleanup
If you’re not sure whether your order qualifies for same day production, contact us and we’ll confirm your best option quickly.
Same Day Doesn’t Mean Low Quality
Rush printing should still look professional. That’s why we focus on:

FAQ – Same Day T-Shirt Printing in Vancouver
Yes. Same day t-shirt printing is possible for select orders, depending on artwork readiness, garment availability, and order quantity.
Once we review your file and confirm stock, we can provide an exact completion estimate, often within a few hours.
Cut-off times depend on the day’s production capacity and the complexity of your order. Generally, earlier requests have the highest chance of being completed the same day.
For urgent timelines, we recommend sending your artwork as early as possible so we can confirm availability quickly.
To start production quickly, we typically need:
- your print-ready design file
- sizes and quantities
- garment style preference (or we can recommend options)
- pickup or delivery timing requirement
If any of these are missing, we can still help, but it may impact same day eligibility.
For the fastest turnaround, we recommend:
- vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) for logos
- high-resolution PNG with transparent background
- high-quality PDF for clean artwork
Low-quality screenshots, blurry images, or social media downloads usually require additional editing and may delay same day production.
Sometimes, yes, but only if the changes are minor (for example background removal, small adjustments, or basic cleanup).
If your artwork requires redesign or extensive edits, it may not qualify for same day production. We will confirm what’s realistic before starting.
It can be, but only for specific situations. Since screen printing requires setup, it is usually possible for simple designs (limited colours) and orders that are confirmed early enough in the day.
If your deadline is strict, we will recommend the fastest viable option for your design.
Embroidery is limited for same day orders and depends on stitch count, design complexity, and machine availability. Simple logo embroidery may be possible in some cases, but it is not guaranteed.
For urgent requests, we recommend confirming embroidery eligibility before finalizing the order.
Same day bulk printing may be possible in certain cases, but most large runs require longer production time due to printing volume and quality control.
If you need a large quantity fast, we will confirm the best rush option and provide a realistic timeline.
Yes, rush production often costs more because it requires priority scheduling, faster handling, and limited production windows.
Pricing depends on quantity, print type, and complexity. We provide transparent pricing upfront once your order details are confirmed.
Yes. Same day pickup is available once production is completed. After confirming your order, we provide a pickup time estimate so you know exactly when your shirts will be ready.
In some cases, yes. Same day delivery may be available depending on your location, the time of day, and when the order is completed. Delivery is always confirmed based on real timing, not assumptions.
Same day printing is commonly used for:
- last-minute event shirts
- crew and staff shirts
- pop-up merch
- emergency replacements
- time-sensitive gifts
- quick promotional shirts
If you’re not sure whether your order qualifies, send your details and we’ll confirm quickly.
The most common reasons are:
- artwork not being print-ready
- garment stock not available in the needed sizes/colours
- very large quantities
- complex production requirements
- the order being placed too late in the day
We’ll always be direct and confirm whether same day is realistic before accepting the job.
We confirm same day eligibility only after:
- reviewing your artwork
- confirming garment stock
- confirming order quantity and print needs
- checking available production capacity
Once confirmed, we give you a realistic completion time, not a vague promise.
If same day is not possible, we’ll provide the fastest alternative timeline and recommend the best option based on your deadline. In many cases, next-day or express production is still available depending on the order.
