Merch Express prints and embroiders custom hoodies at Bay 30, 999 57 Ave NE, Calgary. The shop is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with free parking on site. Finished orders can be picked up at the shop or shipped anywhere in Canada.

Screen printing suits bulk hoodie orders with 1 to 4 solid colours, and DTF printing suits full-colour designs and small runs. Embroidery suits small left-chest logos on zip-ups, crewnecks, and quarter-zips. Our sales team recommends a method for your artwork, quantity, and budget when you request a quote.

Embroidery lasts longer on fleece, and printing costs less for large or full-colour designs. Stitching does not crack or peel, so it suits staff hoodies worn for several seasons. A large back print or a photo-quality design costs less as a screen print or DTF print.

Embroidery costs more because every logo needs a digitized stitch file, and larger designs take more stitches and machine time. Digitizing is a one-time fee per design. Reorders reuse the same file, so a second run of the same logo skips that fee.

A hoodie is a sweatshirt with a hood. A crewneck sweatshirt has a round collar and no hood. A zip-up hoodie opens down the front with a full-length zipper. A quarter-zip has a short zipper at the collar. This collection has no knit sweaters, so customers who ask for custom sweaters in Calgary get crewnecks, hoodies, or quarter-zips.

Wash the hoodie inside out in cold water, tumble dry on low, and never iron over the print. Heat from a hot dryer or an iron softens printed ink and leads to cracks. Care labels on Gildan Heavy Blend and Independent Trading Co. hoodies in this collection also warn against bleach. A print that cracks from our own production error falls under the reprint policy.

Heavyweight fleece holds its shape and warmth longest, and midweight fleece suits year-round layering. The Independent Trading Co. IND4000 uses 10 oz fleece with 80% cotton. The Gildan Heavy Blend 18500 uses 8 oz fleece in a 50/50 cotton-poly blend. The ATC Everyday Fleece crewneck uses compacted yarns to minimize shrinkage.

Yes, a custom hoodie can carry designs in more than one location, including the front and back. Screen print setup is charged per colour and per location, so each added location raises the price. DTF adds no per-colour setup charge. Sleeve placements are confirmed on the quote, since sleeve width varies by style.

Yes, DTF printing adds a different name or number to each hoodie in the same order. Screen printing also handles names and numbers on team hoodies. Send the list of names and sizes with your artwork, and confirm the spelling on the proof before production.

No minimum order applies through DTF printing, so you can order one custom hoodie. That sample can be approved before a full team or company order goes to print. Screen printing and embroidery involve setup costs, so those methods suit higher quantities better.

Standard production takes 10 business days from art approval to completion. Rush production takes 2 to 9 business days for a 10% fee. Same-day service is available for eligible pullover hoodie orders at our Calgary facility.

Yes, every order includes a free digital mockup or stitch proof before production starts. Production begins only after final approval. Design changes, including print size and placement, can still be made at the proof stage.

Yes, Merch Express ships custom hoodies to every Canadian province from its Calgary production facility. Delivery time depends on the destination and the shipping method selected at checkout. Calgary customers can also pick up finished orders at our shop.
