Staff and front-of-house T-shirts
For cafés, restaurants, clinics, salons and retail teams who meet customers all day. Hard-wearing fabric, a chest logo people recognise, and simple reorders when the team grows.
T-shirt printing · Navi Mumbai & Mumbai
Branded T-shirts and polos for companies, cafés, clinics and teams — printed or embroidered with your logo, and sampled before the full run. From our Mumbai studio, we work with businesses in Navi Mumbai, Mumbai and across India.
Why Gultan
Most T-shirt printing in Navi Mumbai is sold by the piece: pick a blank, send a logo, collect a box. That works for a one-off. It works less well when the T-shirt is the first thing a guest notices at your café counter, or the shirt your new team wears on their first day.
Gultan is a Mumbai studio for the physical side of brands. We treat custom T-shirt printing the way we treat packaging or uniforms. We start from your brand, choose the right garment and print method, and make a sample you can hold. Then we produce the full run and check it before it leaves.
Whether you need staff polos for a new outlet, logo T-shirts for an offsite or a bulk order for a launch, the process is the same, and so is the care. If you are in Mumbai rather than Navi Mumbai, nothing changes: our studio is in Mumbai, and T-shirt printing for Mumbai teams works exactly the same way.
Logo T-shirt printing
A logo that looks sharp on screen can look heavy, blurred or tiny on fabric. Good logo T-shirt printing comes down to three decisions: where the logo sits, how big it is, and what it is printed with.
Solid = small marks · dashed = large print areas
The classic for staff T-shirts and polos: small, quiet and easy to read at a glance.
For launches, events and merchandise people choose to wear.
A larger mark, a line of copy or a team name. Useful for kitchen, delivery and event teams who often work facing away from customers.
A small second mark, a handle or a web address.
A small logo below the collar. A quiet detail that makes a T-shirt feel considered.
For company logo printed T-shirts that staff wear every day, we usually suggest a small chest logo with a larger mark on the back. Custom logo tee shirts for a team usually carry one logo in one or two colours. That keeps the print crisp, the cost sensible and the look the same across every size.
Send your logo as a vector file if you have one. A high-resolution PNG on a transparent background also works. If all you have is a JPEG from your website, send it anyway and we will tell you what can be done.
If you have Pantone references for your brand colours, send them with your logo. Colours can look different on different fabrics and print methods, so you see and approve the colour on the sample before production.
Corporate T-shirt printing
Corporate T-shirt printing is rarely about one T-shirt. It is about a whole team in the right sizes, on the right day, looking like one company. These are the orders we see most often.
For cafés, restaurants, clinics, salons and retail teams who meet customers all day. Hard-wearing fabric, a chest logo people recognise, and simple reorders when the team grows.
A T-shirt or polo is usually the first thing in a joining kit. We design it with the rest of the kit — box, notebook, drinkware — so the whole set feels like one brand.
Plan a welcome kit
Matching company T-shirts for a launch, a team day or an offsite, planned back from your event date.
T-shirts people want to wear again, not giveaways that end up as dusters. Better fabric and a design worth wearing take your logo much further.
Printing methods
There is no single best printing method. The right one depends on your artwork, the fabric, how many T-shirts you need and how they will be worn. Here is how the three methods we use compare. When we see your logo, we will recommend one and explain why.
| Method | Best for | Colour and detail | Feel and life | Run size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DTFDirect-to-film | Detailed or multi-colour logos, and small to medium runs | Full colour, fine lines and gradients | A smooth, slightly raised print; works on cotton, polyester and blends | Small to medium runs; no screens to set up |
| Screen printingSilk screen | Bold logos in a few flat colours | Each colour needs its own screen; not ideal for gradients or photos | Bright and very hard-wearing; the ink sits on the fabric | Medium to large runs, where screen set-up is spread across many T-shirts |
| EmbroideryStitched logo | Chest logos on polos, caps and premium staff wear | Simple shapes and short text; very fine lines and gradients don't stitch well | Raised, textured and long-lasting through heavy washing | Any run; priced by stitch count and logo size |
Rule of thumb
A detailed or multi-colour logo on a small or medium run usually suits DTF. A one- or two-colour logo on a larger run usually suits screen printing. A small logo on staff polos that will be washed every day usually suits embroidery.
Fabric guide
A print is only as good as the T-shirt under it. Four choices make the biggest difference.
01 · Fabric
100% cotton is the default for most custom T-shirt printing. The right fabric depends on who wears it and how often it is washed.
02 · GSM
GSM means grams per square metre. Heavier fabrics feel premium but can feel warm in Mumbai's humidity, which matters for staff who are on their feet all day.
03 · Fit and sizes
Order a spread of sizes, not one size for everyone. If you don't have the exact split yet, send what you know with your enquiry. If your team needs a particular fit, mention that too.

04 · Colour
White, black, navy and grey are the easiest base colours to print on and to reorder later. Many brand colours are possible; we confirm what is available before you commit. Light ink on a dark T-shirt needs a base layer or a different method, and we plan for that from the start.
Bulk T-shirt orders
We don't publish a price list, because two T-shirt orders that look alike can cost very different amounts. Here is what moves the number, so you know what to tell us.
Minimum quantities depend on the T-shirt, the material and the print method. We confirm the minimum for your order in our first reply, before you commit to anything.
Once a T-shirt is approved, we keep its specifications on file: garment, colour, print size and position. Reordering for new joiners or a new outlet is then simple.
Fabric, GSM and style: T-shirt or polo.
Most methods cost less per piece as the run grows, because set-up is shared.
Matters most for screen printing, where every colour adds a screen.
Chest, back and sleeve are each priced on their own.
Embroidery is priced by stitch count and logo size; DTF by print size.
How the T-shirts are folded, labelled and packed, including custom packaging if you want it.
Where the T-shirts need to go, and by when.
How it works
Tell us the quantity, sizes, deadline and where the T-shirts are going. We also ask what they are for, because a staff polo and an event T-shirt need different choices.
We recommend the garment, fabric and print method, place the logo, and send a costed proposal.
You get a sample to hold, wear and wash before the full run. Nothing goes into production until you approve it.
We manage production and check the T-shirts at every stage.
Counted, packed, delivered and easy to reorder.
How long it takes depends on the quantity and the method. We share a timeline with our proposal and plan back from the date you need the T-shirts in hand.

For detailed or multi-colour artwork, or a small to medium run, DTF printing is usually the practical choice. For a bold logo in one or two colours on a larger run, screen printing is usually better value. For staff polos washed every day, embroidery lasts longest. We recommend a method when we see your artwork, fabric and quantity.
Yes. We make staff polos with a printed or embroidered chest logo, alongside T-shirts. See staff uniforms and polos.
Yes. Sampling is part of the process, so you can hold, wear and approve a T-shirt before the run is produced.
Yes. Our studio is in Mumbai and we work with businesses in Navi Mumbai, Mumbai and across India. Tell us where you need delivery in your enquiry and we will confirm it.
A vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) is best. A high-resolution PNG on a transparent background also works. If you only have a JPEG, send it and we will advise.
Send Pantone references if you have them. Colours can look different on different fabrics and print methods, so you see and approve the colour on the sample before production.
Yes. We keep the approved specifications on file, so reordering for new joiners or a new outlet is simple.
