Frequently asked questions about printing in Thame
Where is Thame Garment Printing?
We are a walk-in print shop in Thame, Oxfordshire, on the edge of Thame, at the Print Shop at The Player Forge, Unit 2, Nursery Farm, Risborough Road, Kingsey, Aylesbury HP17 8LT. Full directions are on our visit page.
Can I just walk in?
Yes. Walk-ins are welcome during opening hours, Monday to Friday 9am-8pm. Saturday and Sunday visits are by appointment only. You can talk through your order, look at garments and, for many jobs, watch it being printed.
How quickly can you print my order?
Turnaround depends on the quantity, the print method and whether garments are in stock. Simple small jobs can often be done quickly, sometimes while you wait. Tell us your deadline and we will give you an honest answer before you order.
Is there a minimum order?
No fixed minimum for most jobs. We print one-off t-shirts as well as larger runs. Some print methods are more cost-effective in larger quantities, and we will explain the options.
Can I bring my own garments?
Often, yes. Bring them in and we will check the fabric is suitable for printing. We cannot accept responsibility for garments that are not suited to the print process, so we will always discuss it first.
What file formats do you accept for artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG or PDF) are ideal. High-resolution PNG or JPG files also work. If you only have a low-quality image or a sketch, we can help redraw it.
What printing methods do you use?
The right method depends on the design, fabric and quantity. We will recommend the best option for your job when you pop in or request a quote. [CONFIRM PRINT METHODS OFFERED]

Do you print team and club kit with names and numbers?
Yes. We print kit for sports clubs, schools, charities and events, including individual names and numbers.
How much does t-shirt printing cost?
Price depends on the garment, quantity, number of print positions and colours, and the print method. We do not publish a one-size price list because every job differs. Send us your details through the quote form for a clear, no-obligation quote.
