Dad's Printing Scales Custom Team Apparel for Canada's Summer 2026

Dad's Printing, a fully Canadian custom apparel and promotional products company, is scaling its in-house production this July as demand for team kit, event merchandise, and branded gear builds through the summer of 2026. With printing facilities in Vancouver and Toronto, the company is handling a steady rise in orders for sports uniforms, corporate apparel, and personalised giveaways as clubs, businesses, and organisers across Canada prepare for a busy season.

The company has produced custom apparel since 2016 and now works with a broad mix of customers, from startups and national brands to individuals ordering a single garment. That range is possible because Dad's Printing keeps six decorating methods under one roof: screen printing, direct-to-garment, direct-to-film transfers, dye sublimation, embroidery, and vinyl. Keeping every process in-house means the team can match each job to the right method rather than forcing every order through a single technique.

A summer built around teams and events

Summer in Canada brings a natural surge in orders for sports and community apparel, and 2026 is proving no exception. Amateur leagues, tournaments, corporate teams, and local clubs all move at the same time, and many need matching kit turned around quickly. Dad's Printing has built its production around exactly this kind of work, offering custom jerseys across hockey, football, soccer, baseball, basketball, and softball.

Hockey remains central to what the company does. Its custom hockey jerseys are made to order for teams that want their own names, numbers, and colours rather than off-the-shelf stock. Dye sublimation is well suited to this work because the design is infused into the fabric, so lettering and logos stay part of the garment through repeated wear and washing. For teams planning ahead for the next season, ordering during the summer gives them time to confirm rosters, sizing, and artwork before games begin.

The broader football calendar is also shaping demand. With the FIFA World Cup 2026 co-hosted in Canada, interest in soccer apparel and event merchandise has grown, and Dad's Printing is seeing more requests tied to that momentum. Supporter groups, community organisers, and small businesses are ordering custom apparel to mark the occasion, and the company's in-house setup lets it take on both small runs and larger batches.

One shop, many methods

Different jobs call for different approaches, and part of the company's value is helping customers choose the right one. T-Shirt Printing is a good example. Screen printing suits larger runs where a consistent design is repeated across many pieces, and it starts at a minimum of twelve items. Direct-to-garment and direct-to-film printing carry no minimum, which makes them practical for one-off shirts, small teams, or detailed full-colour artwork. Embroidery, also offered with no minimum, gives a durable, textured finish that works well on caps, polos, and workwear.

Beyond apparel, Dad's Printing decorates a wide range of promotional products. The catalogue includes tote bags, socks, scarves, bandanas, beanies, water bottles, mugs, towels, blankets, notebooks, and pens. That breadth lets a single customer pull together a full set of branded items, whether for a corporate campaign, a fundraiser, an event welcome pack, or a team's merchandise table, without splitting the order across several suppliers.

Made in Canada, shipped nationwide

Dad's Printing describes itself as one hundred per cent Canadian, with production kept in-house at its Vancouver and Toronto facilities. The company reports producing more than 200,000 garments a year and serving over 5,000 clients across the country. It ships nationwide within Canada and can arrange international shipping on request.

Keeping decoration in-house rather than outsourcing it gives the company direct control over quality, timing, and communication. When a customer has a question about sizing, artwork, or a print method, they are speaking to the people who will actually produce the order. For time-sensitive summer work, where a tournament date or an event launch is fixed, that control matters.

Why it matters now

Custom apparel has become a practical tool for teams, businesses, and communities rather than a novelty. A matching set of jerseys helps a club look organised and gives players a shared identity. Branded shirts and promotional items help a business stay visible at markets, conferences, and local events. As the 2026 season fills with games, tournaments, and gatherings across Canada, having a Canadian printer that can handle both the design method and the full range of products in one place gives customers a straightforward route from idea to finished order.

Dad's Printing continues to take on new orders through the summer for teams, organisations, and individuals looking for custom apparel and promotional products. Readers can find full details on the Dad's Printing website at https://www.dadsprinting.com/.
