How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Johannesburg T-shirt printers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on over a hundred reviews carries more weight than one built on a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does T-shirt printing cost in Johannesburg? (2026)

None of the businesses on this page publish a fixed public price list for standard runs, since cost depends heavily on quantity, print method (screen printing, DTF, sublimation or embroidery), and the number of colours or design complexity. Several, including Paltex, advertise a minimum order quantity and a price-match policy against competing written quotes.

Serving all of Johannesburg

The printers above cover Selby, the Johannesburg CBD, New Doornfontein and Braamfontein, within easy reach of the wider metro. Searching for T-shirt printing near me? Every listing shows a live phone number and address so you can reach the closest option and ask about your specific quantity and design.

What to ask before you order T-shirt printing

What print method do you use for this job (screen printing, DTF, sublimation, embroidery)?
What’s the minimum order quantity and the per-unit price at that quantity?
What file format and resolution do you need for the artwork?
What is the turnaround time, and is rush service available?
Do you offer a proof or sample before printing the full order?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these T-shirt printing shops?

We started from T-shirt printing, screen printing and custom apparel printers in Johannesburg with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which of these shops can handle a same-day order?

Quality T-shirt Printing (Cosmic Arts) has multiple reviewer accounts of same-day design and printing turnaround, including urgent funeral and event orders. Confirm same-day capacity directly, since it can depend on current workload.

What’s the difference between screen printing, DTF and embroidery?

Screen printing and DTF (direct-to-film) apply ink or transferred designs to fabric and suit most standard T-shirt orders, while embroidery stitches the design directly into the fabric, which BRIE EMBROIDERY specialises in. Ask each shop which method suits your design and budget.

The bottom line

Deer Multimedia Advertising is the safe default on review volume, while BRIE EMBROIDERY is the top pick if your job is embroidered rather than screen-printed. Get a written quote and confirm the turnaround before you place a bulk order.
