Blue Whale Premium Cotton Tee β Custom Logo
- Preferred files: transparent PNG at 300 DPI at the finished print size, vector artwork — AI, EPS or SVG — or a print-ready PDF.
- We cannot print from: screenshots, photos of a logo or low-resolution web images. Please send the original artwork file instead.
- If your file needs background removal, cleanup or redrawing, we’ll contact you before production. Any artwork fee is quoted in advance and only proceeds with your approval.
- Text only? Business name, staff names or a slogan? Type it in the notes below and we set it for free.
- No file ready? Order now and email it to hello@dtfmotion.com.au with your order number. Every order gets a free mockup to approve before we print.
Please confirm your print size. A file's pixel dimensions are not its print size — the same logo can be printed at 5 cm or 25 cm. Tell us the width you want in cm above; otherwise we use the standard size for that position and show it in your free mockup.
Mix any custom apparel — different garments, colours and sizes all count toward the same total. Tees, polos and hi vis in one cart add up together, so a whole crew reaches the next tier faster.
full details, sizing & specs
Premium cotton tee, printed with your logo.
Base price includes a free chest print β put it on the left or right chest, or move it to a full front or full back print for $5.99. Blue Whaleβs T04 is a regular-fit tee in 200gsm 100% pre-shrunk cotton, knitted from premium air-jet spun yarn. It is heavier than a standard promo tee and comes in 32 colours β the widest colour range we stock β so it is the one to pick when the shirt has to match a brand colour, a club strip or an event theme. Add a name or title on the right chest, a back print and more on the product page.

Choosing a colour
- 32 colours is a lot to scroll β if you are matching a brand colour, email us the hex or Pantone and we will tell you which is closest before you order
- DTF prints white ink under the artwork, so colours stay true on dark garments β a logo reads the same on Black as it does on White
- Marles (Ash Marle, Snow Marle) are a flecked yarn, so very fine detail sits on a slightly textured surface. Nothing is lost, but a hairline serif is happier on a solid colour

- Up to 20 MB per file through the uploader; larger files, just email them
Size guide
All measurements in centimetres. Chest is a half-chest measurement β taken across the garment laid flat, not around your body.
| Size | Β½ Chest |
|---|---|
| XS | 49.5 |
| S | 52 |
| M | 55 |
| L | 58 |
| XL | 61 |
| 2XL | 64 |
| 3XL | 67 |
This is the same body as our Blue Whale T14 long sleeve tee, so the two size charts match cm for cm β order the same size in both. Blue Whale publishes a chest measurement for this style and not a body length. If you need the length before you commit, email us and we will measure one off the shelf for you.
How to measure: lay a tee you already wear flat. Measure straight across from side seam to side seam, 2.5 cm below where the sleeve meets the body β that is the half-chest. This is a regular fit, so it runs roomier than a fitted tee: at the same size it is about 1β3.5 cm wider in the half chest than our slim-fit JBβs Bobbin tee.
Sizing and returns: printed garments are made to order, so we cannot accept change-of-mind returns or size swaps. We will replace or refund anything with a print or garment fault. Kitting out a whole crew? Email hello@dtfmotion.com.au β we can help you work out a size run before you commit.
