The Best T-Shirt Printing Services Glasgow for Prints That Truly Last
When I’m sick of scrolling through racks of RTW shirts in shopping centres and can’t be bothered with another detour to the tailor, I go straight to custom tees. It’s the quickest way to wear something that actually feels like me!
Luckily, the best t-shirt printing shops in Glasgow make it easy to choose between crisp screen printing for big batches and DTG for small runs with lots of colour. Even better, some can pull off express turnarounds when you’ve left it late for a hen/stag do, staff uniform refresh, or a society order!
This guide rounds up our top picks for t-shirt printing spots, for everything from one-off gifts to corporate workwear and event merch. We focus on quality you can feel, turnaround you can trust, and bulk pricing that isn’t punishing.
How much does t-shirt printing cost in Glasgow?
In Glasgow, one-off or small-run tee printing is usually priced higher, while bulk orders get dramatically cheaper. A single, full-colour shirt can be around £13, but wholesale volumes can drop to less than £3.50 per tee, depending on the garment and artwork.
If you’re printing 25 to over 50 units, screen printing is typically the cheapest per shirt because the setup cost gets spread out. The unit price also falls fast as quantities rise.
Same-day t-shirt printing exists for simpler jobs if you plan ahead and stock/capacity-permitting.
Want to bring your own shirts? Some local providers will print/embroider on customer-supplied garments, which is handy if you’re picky about the fit.
1. ORIGINAL-T
Address: 2nd Floor, Clyde Offices, 48 W George St
Contact: +447481180087
Business Hours:
Monday to Thursday, 9 AM–5 PM
Friday, 9 AM–3 PM
When I’m done with RTW tops, and I just want my own artwork printed straight onto fabric (not a plasticky transfer), ORIGINAL-T gets it. They use digital garment printing and print directly onto clothes.
Quality-wise, they’re upfront about what good printing needs: decent file resolution, sensible colour choices, and realistic placement. I also got clear limits, like a max print area of 35 x 40 cm, so my design didn’t end up awkwardly cropped.
They aim to dispatch within 2 working days for orders received before 2 PM from Monday to Thursday. However, they do admit that same-day dispatch is rare. But if you’re in a panic, they also offer same-day or next-day collection when stocks allow (do phone ahead to be sure).
They can do DTG/DTF/screen print, and they’re friendly to both one-offs and repeat designs for teams. There’s no minimum order (which I love!), and if you’re doing over 10 repeat items, you can request a volume quote.
I’d recommend them to creators/startups and small events that want proper prints without committing to huge runs. That said, they can’t print over zips, seams, or pockets, and colour matching isn’t guaranteed because screens vary.

First-class service
First class service, Cameron gave me a couple of suggestions for the layout after I’d sent a photo, the order arrived safe next day. Original T-shirt company does what it says on the tin & at a good price! Much appreciated.

2. BeBranded
Address: 140 Nelson St, Kinning Park
Contact: +441412660583
Business Hours: Monday to Friday, 8 AM–4 PM
The gallery I work for needed direct-to-film shirts as wearable art (proper colour, proper detail, and no “stuck on” vibes), and BeBranded felt like the logical choice. They espouse DTF printing for staying soft-touch and hard-wearing, so it’s functional as well as ornamental for wearers.
They also offer embroidery, aside from DTF printing/transfers. Their broader branding menu covers design, logos, and business print bits for even more merch, with turnaround typically between 5 and 7 working days (reasonable and workable for us).
They’re also conveniently located in Kinning Park, which makes coordination less of a faff than shipping art-related merch back and forth across the UK. I reckon they’re best suited for creative businesses and brand teams who want full-colour bold prints that can survive repeat wears, and who like big launches via wearable art.
However, if you truly need today/tomorrow speed, their typical turnaround time suggests you should book ahead of exhibit openings or launches, rather than gamble on last-minute miracles.
Customer Reviews
What an amazing experience
What an amazing service, unbelievable. Gave my shirts for the company logo, ready for the next day. Welcoming with a smile, excellent service. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience somewhere else, where I was asked to come back after 10 days, and even after ten days, I had to go to the shop twice, but still work was not done. But here at Ramsay and Swan, 360 degree change. I would recommend Ramsay and Swan to everyone, especially my fellow taxi drivers, for quick and efficient service.

My customers were super happy with the quality
I have a small printing business that I do from my house, and I ordered prints from BeBranded. It was super helpful, such a good price and super fast. I launched lots of new hoodies on Etsy over christmas and the good service allowed me to make good money over the Christmas break, and my customers were super happy with the quality.

3. Parallel Prints
Address: Studio 24, 4 Rogart St, Bridgeton
Contact: +447445236547
Business Hours: Monday to Friday, 10 AM–4 PM
I have an eco-conscious sister who wanted shirts that feel properly local but don’t scream “plastic souvenir.” Parallel Prints hit the sweet spot with hand-printed shirts using eco-friendly, water-based inks that won’t adversely affect the environment.
It has a small-studio feel that focuses on clean edges and soft finishes, not just churning out heat-press quick fixes. They’re mainly about traditional screen printing, though they also handle DTF printing and custom stickers if your job needs a different route.
If you’re printing logos, text, or bold graphics, their pitch is durability and consistency, with ink pushed into the fabric, not sitting on top. I reckon they’re great for eco-leaning brands, band merch, events, and small businesses who want that hand-printed feel and are ordering enough pieces to make screen printing worth it.
My sister said pricing was refreshingly no-nonsense. They thoroughly explained what moves the needle: quantity, colours, placement, and garment type, though the minimum order is the main catch.
Screen printing is typically around 25 tees to start, so it’s better for small batches than true one-offs. Do note that, because turnaround isn’t stated as a fixed guarantee, you’ll want to lock in timelines early rather than banking on last-minute miracles.

4. T-shirtcat
Address: Studios Building, 23 Fleming St
Contact: 07921825210
Business Hours: By appointment
Since my boyfriend lives in his hoodies, I figured the only logical move is to print his favourite band logo on a small rotation so he’ll wear something other than the same grey one, day in and day out.
T-shirtcat is a Glasgow-based printer that leans into proper custom screen printing, which suits pop culture and bold band-style logos perfectly. They can print on all sorts of garments, not just tees!
They even list the hoodies they regularly print on, and I was happy to note heavyweight blend adult hoodies on the menu, so I’m not guessing whether my plan will work on thicker fabric (that’s a must in our dreich weather).
They prefer Gildan for garment choice, though they say they can source cheaper or higher-quality blanks if you’re picky about feel and fit. I also like that they call out ethical/safety certifications like OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and WRAP for the clothing they use.
They offer quality and value regardless of order size, so it’s worth getting a quote for even smaller hoodie runs. I’d recommend them to anyone needing band merch, societies, and those who live in their hoodies.
However, if your preferred logo is super detailed and photo-heavy, a DTG-first shop might be able to handle that style more easily than screen print.

He was a pleasure to work with
Needed merchandise printed for a UK tour starting in Glasgow, and was recommended by some friends there. He was a pleasure to work with, an easy communicator, and the product was printed on my tight deadline, and the quality was excellent. Really grateful for the work he did, and would order again in a heartbeat.

5. toprint.info ltd
Address: 100 Allison St, Govanhill
Contact: +441414239902
Business Hours:
Monday to Thursday, 11.30 AM–4.30 PM
Friday, 11 AM–12.30 PM
When I can’t leave the house but need to gift my bestie something personal to cheer her up, toprint.info becomes my go-to. I can order a customised shirt online and get on with my day. They’ve got a proper upload and proof workflow, and the files get checked with everything proof-approved before they start printing.
For this job, their sweet spot is sublimation-friendly personalised tees. They even list a white shirt that’s suitable for sublimation print for full-colour results, and is ideal for clean, vibrant artwork rather than a cheap-looking finish.
I wanted a double-sided print, so I had to upload both sides clearly and call it out in my notes so the proof reflects exactly what I want. The site is genuinely geared towards gifts, so I spent some time browsing through other items I reckon my friend would like.
Turnaround is the bit I actually care about, and they give a realistic window of 2 to 7 working days to dispatch on their personalised t-shirt listing. Pricing-wise, it’s one-off friendly, as the shirt is priced as a single item that I can add to my cart.
That said, because everything is printed to spec, they’re clear that there are no returns once you’ve approved the proof. This means you’ll really need to check spelling, sizing, and placement like your life depends on it.
