Frequently Asked Questions

Best AS Colour T-Shirts for Printing

Which AS Colour t-shirt is best for custom printing?

The AS Colour Staple Tee is the most popular for custom printing thanks to its mid-weight fabric and classic fit. For premium options, the Classic Tee or Heavy Tee offer thicker fabrics that suit screen printing and high-end designs.

What’s the difference between the Staple Tee and the Classic Tee?

The Staple is 180 GSM with a standard fit, while the Classic is 220 GSM and slightly heavier, giving a more premium feel. Both print exceptionally well, but the Classic is often chosen for retail or corporate merchandise.

Are AS Colour t-shirts worth the extra cost?

Yes. While cheaper blanks exist, AS Colour tees last longer, feel better, and hold print detail better. Customers are more likely to wear them repeatedly, giving your brand or design more visibility.

Can I order just one AS Colour tee to test the print?

Absolutely. The Tee has no minimums, so you can order a single shirt to see the fit and print quality before placing a larger order.

Which printing method works best on AS Colour tees?

AS Colour works with all major methods – DTF and DTG for vibrant full-colour prints, and screen printing for bulk runs. We match the printing method to your order size and design needs.

Are AS Colour t-shirts good for business uniforms?

Yes. Their durability and comfort make them ideal for uniforms. With 70+ colours and multiple fits, businesses can maintain a consistent professional look.

Do AS Colour tees shrink or lose shape after washing?

AS Colour tees are pre-shrunk and designed to maintain their fit. They wash well compared to cheaper alternatives, and your print will remain vibrant with proper care.

Which AS Colour styles are available in organic cotton?

AS Colour offers organic versions of core staples like the Staple and Classic. These are made with certified organic cotton and are perfect for eco-conscious printing projects.
