Which kids t-shirt should you choose?
Everything in this range is AS Colour, and each style comes as a Kids version (sizes 2 to 6) and a Youth version (the Youth Tee and Youth Long Sleeve Tee run from size 8 to 16). What separates them is fabric weight, measured in gsm (grams per square metre, so higher means thicker), and cut.
| Style | Fabric and fit listed | Colours listed |
|---|---|---|
| Kids and Youth Tee | 180 gsm, 28-singles combed cotton, regular fit, preshrunk | Many, including White, Navy, Red, Bright Royal and Black |
| Kids and Youth Classic Tee | 220 gsm, 22-singles combed cotton, relaxed fit (Kids) | Many, including Black, Navy, Red, Bright Royal and White |
| Kids and Youth Heavy Faded Tee | 240 gsm, 16-singles carded cotton, garment dyed, boxy with drop shoulders (Kids) | Faded Black, Faded Bone, Faded Grey (Kids) |
| Kids and Youth Long Sleeve Tee | 180 gsm, 28-singles combed cotton, regular fit | White, Grey Marle, Black |
| Kids and Youth Barnard Tank | 150 gsm, 34-singles combed cotton, sleeveless, raw armhole edges (Kids) | White, Navy, Grey Marle, Black (Kids) |
For a school or club order where every child gets the same shirt, we'd start with the Tee. At 180 gsm it's light enough for a hot playground, it takes a print cleanly, and it has the widest colour choice, so matching a school or team colour is realistic. The Classic Tee is the step up when you want a shirt that feels sturdier and holds its shape through a lot of washing, and the Heavy Faded Tee is a fashion cut for camps and merchandise rather than uniform. Add the Long Sleeve Tee for cooler terms, or the Barnard Tank for summer events and sport.
The Kids and Youth sizing split matters for mixed-age groups, so send a size breakdown with your enquiry instead of ordering one size range and hoping.
How can you brand kids t-shirts?
These are cotton, so the methods that work are the ones for cotton. Sublimation is out, because it needs polyester and light colours.
- Screen printing is the one we'd pick for most orders. A one or two colour logo bonds well to a cotton tee and the cost per shirt drops as the run grows.
- DTF transfers suit a full-colour mascot, a photo or a small run, because there's no separate setup for each colour, though the feel and wash life differ from screen print.
- Embroidery gives a stitched finish, which works for a small crest on the chest of a Classic Tee, but on a thin 180 gsm tee we'd usually print instead.
Product pages offer one, two or three decoration positions, so a chest logo with a team name or year across the back is easy to arrange. Your free proof shows the method, size and position, and nothing is made until you approve it.
Ordering kids t-shirts
There's no minimum, so a playgroup can order twelve tees and a school can order three hundred. You can mix styles, colours, Kids and Youth sizes in one order and all of it counts toward quantity pricing, which many of these products show on the product page. Your quote confirms the branded price, and once you approve the proof we decorate in house.
Who buys kids t-shirts?
- Schools order tees for sport houses, carnival days and year groups, and a house colour on a child's chest is seen across the whole carnival.
- Junior clubs dress a squad in one design, so coaches and parents spot the team from the sideline, and the same artwork can be reordered each season.
- Charities and fundraisers print event or fun-run tees that families wear well after the day, so the cause keeps being seen.
If your design includes a mascot, crest or club logo, you need to own it or have permission to use it. Multi-site organisations that reorder every year can ask about our online stores and uniform programs through the enquiry form.
What goes with kids t-shirts?
Most buyers add a AS Colour cap or hat and, for cooler terms, kids sweatshirts or kids pants and shorts in the same colours. The wider AS Colour Kids range sits together, and parents or staff who want to match can look at AS Colour men's t-shirts or ladies' t-shirts. For camp or new-student packs, our kitting service bundles items together.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best print method for kids t-shirts?
Screen printing is the usual choice for a one or two colour logo on a cotton kids tee, because the ink bonds well and the cost per shirt falls as the run grows. For a full-colour mascot, a photo or a small run, DTF avoids separate colour setups. The proof shows the final method before anything is produced.
Can you embroider a kids t-shirt?
Yes, but it isn't the first choice for most tees. Embroidery suits a small crest on the heavier 220 gsm Classic Tee, while a 180 gsm tee can pucker under dense stitching, and fine detail gets simplified when the logo is digitised. For a lightweight kids tee we'd normally recommend printing instead.
How big can the logo be on a kids t-shirt?
The logo is sized to the shirt, and a Kids size 2 has far less chest area than a Youth size 16. A crest that suits a size 12 can swamp a size 2, so we confirm sizes on the proof. For mixed-age orders we can place a smaller version of the same artwork on the youngest sizes.
Will a print on a kids tee survive repeated washing?
A screen print on cotton holds up well to regular washing, and DTF transfers also suit cotton, though the feel and wash life differ between the two. Washing inside out in cool water helps either last through a school year. These tees are listed as preshrunk, so the shirt shouldn't shrink away from the print.
What artwork file do you need to print on kids t-shirts?
Send a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or vector PDF) for screen printing or embroidery, with fonts converted to outlines. A 300 dpi PNG or JPG at actual print size works for DTF. A school crest saved from a website is usually too low in resolution, so the artwork team can redraw it, and a redraw fee may apply.
What is the minimum order for kids t-shirts?
There is no minimum order, so you can order a dozen tees for a playgroup or hundreds for a school. Each order has a one-off setup for the logo, so the price per shirt drops noticeably from around 10 shirts. Your quote shows the quantity breaks, so you can see the saving before you commit.
Which sizes do kids t-shirts come in?
AS Colour Kids tees are listed in sizes 2, 4 and 6, and the Youth Tee and Youth Long Sleeve Tee in sizes 8 to 16. If your group spans both, you can mix Kids and Youth sizes, and different styles and colours, in one order and still count the whole order toward quantity pricing.
Can I see a kids t-shirt before I order?
Yes. You'll get a free digital proof on every order, and you can ask for an undecorated sample to check the fabric weight, neckline and fit across the ages you're buying for. Sample cost is confirmed with your quote and credited back if the order goes ahead. If you would rather handle the fabric yourself, book a visit to the Annandale showroom.
How long do kids t-shirts take to print?
Some orders can be ready the same day, and the quote confirms timing for your quantity and method. Rush production is available on most products but costs more, so ordering ahead for a school carnival or season start gives a better price. Allow time to approve the proof, because the clock starts once you do.
Can I get the cheapest price on a big kids t-shirt order?
Order around 10 or more so the setup is spread, and keep the design to one colour in one position, such as a chest print. Choosing one tee colour or mixing colours under a single design also helps. A longer lead time lowers the unit price, and your quote shows the quantity breaks.
