What We Do

Getting your message across, done properly.

Kirkwood Trading Company has been providing custom t-shirt screen printing, embroidery, and other logo apparel services for over twenty years. The next time you're in the market for custom tees, sweatshirts, shorts, bags, hats, aprons, mugs, and more — give us a call and see what two decades of experience can do for you. Getting your message across is the idea, and nobody does it in a more professional, cost-effective manner than we do.

Our Services

Four ways we put it on.

Every job starts with the same twelve-piece minimum and the same attention to registration, stitch density, and colour match — whichever method fits your product.

01 — Screen Printing Screen printing press pulling ink across a t-shirt screen

01

Screen Printing

Our bread and butter for two decades. Ink is pressed through hand-cut screens, layer by layer, for bold, durable colour that holds up wash after wash — the standard choice for team shirts, event tees, and bulk merchandise.

  • Multi-colour registration done in-house
  • Best value at volume — built for the 12-piece minimum and up
  • Works on cotton, blends, and most performance fabrics

02 — Embroidery Embroidery machine stitching a logo onto fabric

02

Embroidery

A stitched logo says permanence. We digitize your artwork in-house and run it on commercial heads for crisp detail on polos, caps, jackets, and aprons — the finish clients reach for and coworkers actually keep wearing.

  • In-house digitizing, no third-party delay
  • Clean results down to small logo sizes and fine text
  • Ideal for uniforms, corporate wear, and headwear

03 — Fundraising Stack of folded custom t-shirts for a group order

Custom T-Shirt Fundraising

Schools, teams, and community groups sell shirts to raise money — we make the printing side simple, so more of every sale goes back to the cause instead of getting eaten by markup.

  • Straightforward group-order pricing
  • Fast turnaround around event and season deadlines
  • Guidance on design, sizing, and pre-sale sheets
  • Online stores for spirit wear, team wear, and corporate wear

04 — DTF Printing Colourful direct-to-film transfer design ready for pressing

04

DTF Printing

Direct-to-film transfers give you full-colour, photo-realistic artwork with soft hand-feel and no minimum-colour restrictions — a strong option for detailed logos, gradients, and small or mixed-size runs.

  • Unlimited colours in a single print
  • Handles gradients and fine detail cleanly
  • Works well for mixed garment types in one order

How An Order Runs

From call to carton.

Four stages, same order every time — so you know exactly what's happening with your job and when it'll ship.

01

Consult

Tell us the product, quantity, and deadline. We recommend the method — print, stitch, or transfer — that fits your budget and artwork.

02

Proof

You approve a digital proof for colour, placement, and size before anything touches a press or a needle.

03

Production

Screens are burned, files digitized, or transfers cut, and your order goes into production on our own floor.

04

Delivery

Quality-checked, folded, and boxed for pickup or delivery — ready in time for game day, event, or launch.
