Start with a practical question about custom apparel, then bring the details you know to ANCO. These guides cover the decisions that help make a business, team or event order easier to plan.
T-shirts
Choose fabric and fit, prepare a readable design and reconcile the order.
Start here: compare T-shirt prices, plan a small order or organise a bulk order, then request Calgary T-shirt printing.
Need just a few custom T-shirts?
Need fewer than 12 custom T-shirts? Prepare a small-order brief for a gift, family group or crew addition, and confirm garment, artwork, price and timing.
Cotton, polyester or blended T-shirts?
Compare fibre, construction, colour and feel before choosing a custom T-shirt. Use a practical garment-specification checklist for your Calgary order.
Choose a T-shirt size from measurements.
Measure a familiar T-shirt, distinguish flat width from body circumference and compare the correct manufacturer's chart before collecting sizes.
Plan where the T-shirt design will sit.
Build a T-shirt placement brief with location, artwork dimensions, garment sizes and a reference point. Check seams and readable scale before approval.
Keep a bulk T-shirt order accurate.
Separate confirmed shirts, pending choices and approved spares. Reconcile styles, sizes and artwork variants before requesting a bulk T-shirt quote.
Check the design at the size people will see.
Review T-shirt message hierarchy, contrast, lettering and fine detail at the proposed print size. Use a simple readability check before artwork approval.
Hoodies and crewnecks
Compare layers, construction and placement before collecting team choices.
Hoodies or crewnecks for your group?
Compare hooded sweatshirts and crewnecks by layering, wearer preference, work setting and back-design visibility before choosing group apparel.
Choose how the hoodie opens.
Compare pullovers and full-zip hoodies for changing layers, front artwork and open-versus-closed wear. Build a clear style brief before ordering.
Read the fleece specification before choosing.
Separate hoodie fabric weight, fibre, surface, interior and construction. Compare units correctly without treating weight as a warmth or quality rating.
Plan the print around the hoodie.
Check the hood, pocket, zipper and seams when planning front, back or sleeve artwork. Use a location brief and review the smallest garment before approval.
Coordinate a team hoodie order without losing the details.
Collect hoodie styles, fit ranges, sizes and optional names in one record. Resolve adult/youth colour differences and substitutions before approval.
Uniforms and workwear
Plan apparel around roles, working conditions and repeat orders.
Start here: compare T-shirts and polos, plan quantities by role, then request Calgary work uniforms.
Plan work uniforms around the job.
Build a branded workwear brief around roles, movement, layers, laundry and fit. Separate ordinary company apparel from protective clothing requirements.
Plan branded clothing for a cleaning team.
Plan cleaning-team apparel around movement, client roles, layers and laundry. Keep chemical protection separate from branding.
Plan crew branding around the job-site requirements.
Prepare a trades crew apparel brief. Check layers and logo visibility; leave protective-clothing choices to the responsible employer.
Plan staff apparel for the way service works.
Coordinate ordinary branded hospitality clothing around front-of-house roles, counter work, aprons, movement and laundry. Check logo visibility before approval.
Keep a uniform record that survives the next order.
Download a free uniform specification CSV. Save garment, logo and placement details, then check quantities, new-staff fit and substitutions for each reorder.

Events and team apparel
Coordinate designs, confirmed quantities, approvals and distribution.
Keep the event shirt order on one checklist.
Coordinate event shirt quantities, artwork approvals, the requested in-hand date and distribution. Download an ungated checklist with owners and open decisions.
Agree on the team design before approving the file.
Create a team shirt brief covering the main message, sponsor hierarchy, role labels and optional names. Assign approval owners and track each artwork version.
Separate volunteer shirts from fundraiser stock.
Track volunteer shirts, confirmed supporter orders and optional sale-day stock separately. Use a worksheet without assuming sales or profit.
Get the names, wording and needed date right.
Plan wedding party apparel around preferred names, roles, fit, travel and getting-ready use. Use a proof checklist before approving personalized wording.
Collect the whole family's choices without guessing.
Plan family reunion and birthday shirts across households, child and adult styles. Confirm occasion wording, actual size choices and separate artwork variants.
Artwork, production and ordering
Prepare files, understand decoration and use practical order worksheets.
Send the useful original, not just a different extension.
Understand raster, vector and mixed artwork files before sending a logo for apparel. Keep an editable master and use the downloadable artwork checklist.
Calculate resolution at the intended print size.
Use pixels divided by inches to check artwork PPI. Work through 2400-pixel examples, centimetre conversion and the difference between resizing and resampling.
Check what is transparent and what is meant to print.
Inspect apparel artwork on light and dark backgrounds. Distinguish a transparent area, intentional white artwork and unwanted rectangles or soft edges.
Compare DTF and screen printing using the same order.
Understand DTF transfer and screen-printing setup. Compare artwork, garments, print locations and quantities without assuming one method always wins.
Read the garment and print-care instructions together.
Use a care-check sequence for printed apparel: reconcile garment and decoration instructions, confirm wash and dry limits, and ask before attempting a repair.
