Can We Print Your Shirts Today?
Same day comes down to four things: your artwork, our garment stock, the size of the job, and what time you approve it. Here’s the honest split.
Today is realistic when
- Your artwork is print ready, vector or high resolution
- The shirt colour and sizes you want are in stock
- It’s a single print location
- The quantity is small to mid size
- You approve before our noon cut off
We'll need more time when
- The artwork needs redrawing or cleanup first
- You need a specialty garment or an out of stock colour
- It’s a large bulk run or a multi location print
- The job calls for embroidery rather than print
- Approval lands late in the afternoon
Not sure which side you’re on? Send the details and we’ll tell you in plain terms, including the fastest alternative if today genuinely isn’t possible.
Rush Order Cut Off Times in Vancouver
The single biggest factor in a same day t-shirt order is what time it lands with us. Here’s what each window usually means.
Before 12pm, Monday to Friday
Same day printing and same day pickup for eligible orders. This is the window you want.
Early afternoon, Monday to Friday
Still same day for small, print-ready jobs. Anything larger usually moves to next-day pickup.
Late afternoon or after hours
Next-day or express turnaround. Send the details anyway, we’ll have the job queued and ready to run first thing.
Saturday
Reviewed during shop hours, with production usually starting the next business day.
The earlier your artwork arrives, the more options stay open, including garment colour, print method and pickup time. If your deadline is tight, call rather than email.
What to Send Us for a Rush Order
Complete details get a faster answer. Send these six things in one message:
- Artwork file: AI, EPS, SVG, PDF or high-resolution PNG
- Quantity and size breakdown: how many of each size
- Shirt colour and style: or tell us to recommend what’s in stock
- Print location: front, back, sleeve, or a combination
- Your deadline: the time you actually need them in hand
- A phone number we can reach you on for quick approval
Screenshots and low resolution logos can still work, but they add a cleanup step, and on a same day order, that step is usually what costs you the deadline.
How a Same Day Order Runs

Which Print Method Is Fastest?
Not every method suits a same day deadline. We pick the fastest one that still does justice to your artwork.
DTF Printing – strongest option for most rush jobs
Best for full-colour logos, small to mid runs, and orders spread across different garment types.
Screen Printing – workable on early, simple jobs
Best for one or two-colour designs and larger quantities, when the order is approved early enough to justify setup.
Custom Embroidery – rarely same day
Stitched logos usually need a longer window. Worth asking, but plan for more than a day.

Same Day Pickup in Vancouver and Metro Vancouver
Rush orders are printed and collected at our shop at 19 Victoria Dr, Lower Level Unit, Vancouver, BC V5L 4C1. Local delivery across Metro Vancouver is possible depending on timing and destination.
We regularly handle same day and rush shirt orders for: Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster, Delta and Langley.
Printing in Vancouver, British Columbia, not Vancouver, Washington. If you’re searching from the Lower Mainland, you’re in the right place.
Rush Work That Doesn't Look Rushed
Fast should still look right on the body. On rush jobs we hold the same checks as any other order: artwork review, clean placement, readable detail and reliable colour.
We won’t confirm a same day order unless the artwork, stock, print method and press schedule all line up. Turning down a deadline we can’t hit is better than handing you shirts you’d rather not put on your staff.
Same Day T-Shirt Printing FAQs
1. Can I get t-shirts printed the same day in Vancouver?
Yes. Firebird Prints handles same day t-shirt printing in Vancouver, BC for orders that arrive print-ready and early enough in the day. Same day works best when the artwork is clean, the shirt colour and sizes are in stock, and the job uses a single print location.
2. What is the cut-off time for same day t-shirt printing?
Send your details before 12pm, Monday to Friday, for the best chance of same day printing and same day pickup. Early afternoon requests can still work for small, print-ready jobs. Anything later usually moves to next day or express turnaround.
3. What do you need from me to start a rush order?
Six things: your artwork file, the quantity and size breakdown, the shirt colour and style, the print location, your deadline, and a phone number for quick approval. Sending all six in one message is the fastest way to get an answer.
4. Which file format is fastest for same day printing?
Vector files are fastest, AI, EPS, SVG or a clean PDF. High resolution PNG files also work well. Screenshots, low resolution logos and unfinished artwork need a cleanup step first, which is often what pushes a job past the same day window.
5. Can I pick up my shirts the same day?
Yes. Same day pickup is available at our shop at 19 Victoria Dr, Lower Level Unit, Vancouver, BC, once your order comes off the press. Local delivery across Metro Vancouver may also be possible depending on timing and destination.
6. Do rush orders cost more than standard t-shirt printing?
Rush orders can carry a different rate depending on the deadline, print method, garment availability and how the job fits the day’s production schedule. We confirm pricing with you before anything goes to press, there are no surprise rush charges after the fact.
7. Is screen printing available for same day orders?
Sometimes. Screen printing can work same day when the design is one or two colours, the order is approved early, and the quantity justifies the setup. For full colour or detailed artwork on a tight deadline, DTF printing is usually the faster route.
8. What happens if same day printing isn't possible?
We’ll tell you straight away and recommend the fastest realistic alternative, often next day or a short express turnaround. You’ll get a clear answer before you commit, not after the deadline has already slipped.
