No order minimums, same-day dispatch from our Montreal studio when you order before noon, and gang sheets priced by the area you use, $0.017 per square inch.
Quebec City’s Apparel Decorators Need a Transfer Partner That Keeps Up
Quebec City runs on a mix of creative energy and institutional scale. The indie boutiques and studios clustered along Rue Saint-Joseph Est in Saint-Roch, the makers and vintage shops rooted in Limoilou, and the screen printers and embroidery shops serving the city’s dense public-sector and tourism event calendar are all fielding a broadening mix of requests: small streetwear drops, player-specific sports jerseys, campus club runs, and last-minute conference merch for conventions and government summits.
DTF transfers are the method those decorators reach for when a job does not fit the economics of screen printing or the technical limits of embroidery. A full-colour film transfer is produced, then heat-pressed onto virtually any fabric in seconds. No screens to burn, no colour separations to price out, no minimum run to justify the setup. Printivo produces DTF transfers at our studio in Montreal and ships Canada-wide. No minimum order, no artwork setup fee, and gang sheets that nest multiple designs on one film to reduce the cost per graphic.

Why Quebec City Decorators Choose Printivo
No Order Minimums, as a Permanent Policy
Printivo has no minimum order quantity. It is how the business is structured, not a promotional offer. You can order one transfer or one thousand on the same terms. The per-unit price decreases as quantity increases, but there is no threshold below which an order is refused. For Quebec City shops managing a mix of large repeat runs and one-off client requests, one supplier and one workflow covers the full range, with no small-order surcharges that make low-quantity jobs unprofitable to take.
Gang Sheets: Multiple Designs, One Production Run
A gang sheet is a single large-format film onto which multiple different designs are arranged as efficiently as space allows. Instead of pricing each design separately, you fill the sheet with every graphic you need and pay for the area of film you use, at $0.017 per square inch. A Saint-Roch label running four graphic variations gets four ready-to-press transfers in one shipment, well below what four individual orders would total. A screen printer handling three small client jobs covers all three in one production run.
Same-Day Dispatch When You Order Before Noon
Place your order before 12:00 PM Eastern on any business day and it ships the same day from our Montreal studio. After noon, or on a weekend or public holiday, it ships the next business day. That cutoff is firm. Quebec City is on Eastern Time, the same as Montreal, so there is no timezone adjustment to think about. At checkout, you select the carrier and delivery speed that fits your timeline, and the cost and the carrier’s delivery estimate are shown before you confirm. Delivery from that point is in the carrier’s hands; we send tracking at dispatch so you can monitor the shipment directly.
Quality That Holds Through Washing
The practical test of a DTF transfer is not how it looks the day it comes off the press, but how it looks wash after wash. Printivo uses a process calibrated for durability: the film, inks, adhesive powder, and curing are all tuned for longevity. Applied with the temperature, pressure, and peel-timing parameters we provide, our transfers hold colour and adhesion through repeated washing without significant cracking, peeling, or fading. For shops whose reputation depends on what a garment looks like six months later, that consistency is worth more than a cheaper transfer that fails.
Reorders Without Friction
Once a design is in your Printivo account, reordering does not restart the process. You are not re-uploading files, re-specifying colour, or waiting on a new proof. The artwork is stored, and you specify quantity and dispatch date. For Quebec City businesses running repeat client orders or replenishing designs as inventory moves, this removes the overhead that makes reorders slower and more expensive than the first run.
Shipping DTF Transfers to Quebec City
Printivo operates from Montreal, Quebec. We do not have a Quebec City location, warehouse, distribution centre, or pickup option. Every order ships from our Montreal studio. We are direct about this because it affects how you plan production.
Dispatch: What Printivo Controls
Orders placed before 12:00 PM Eastern on a business day (Monday through Friday, excluding Canadian public holidays) ship the same business day from Montreal. Orders placed after noon, or on a weekend or holiday, ship the next business day. The cutoff is firm and consistent. Quebec City is on Eastern Time, the same as Montreal, so noon Eastern is noon local. There is no timezone adjustment to make.
Delivery: What the Carrier Controls
Once an order leaves our studio, delivery is handled entirely by the carrier you select at checkout. Before you confirm, you choose from the available carrier and speed options for your postal code; each option shows its estimated delivery timeframe and cost. Those estimates are provided by the carrier, not by Printivo. We do not control transit time after dispatch and do not guarantee a delivery date independent of what the carrier states at checkout. The tracking number we send at dispatch lets you follow up with the carrier directly.
No Pickup in Quebec City
There is no local pickup option in Quebec City. All orders are produced in Montreal and shipped via tracked carrier. If you need transfers in your hands the same day you order, you would need a local supplier. For most Quebec City decorators, same-day dispatch from Montreal plus the carrier speed you choose at checkout fits the production timeline once you build your routine around the noon cutoff.
How It Works: Three Quebec City Examples
These are illustrative scenarios, not real customers. They show how the no-minimum and gang-sheet model fits common Quebec City workflows.
A Saint-Roch Streetwear Drop
Say a small Saint-Roch label is planning a 40-piece drop: hoodies in three colourways, each needing a front graphic and a small back hit. The designer finalizes all six artwork files on a Monday morning. Rather than ordering each combination separately, they build a gang sheet nesting all six on a single film, paying for the area used at $0.017 per square inch. The order goes in before noon and ships from Montreal the same day. At checkout, the label reviews the carrier options for their postal code, sees the estimate and cost for each, and picks the one that fits the schedule. From artwork to a dispatched order: less than a morning.
A Quebec City Recreational Hockey League
Imagine a recreational hockey league across several Quebec City rinks that needs jerseys for 80 players over five teams, each with a unique name and number, which makes screen printing impractical at any minimum. The coordinator orders 80 individual name-and-number transfers in one session; all 80 ship together from Montreal in one batch. At checkout they review the carrier options for the league’s postal code, read the delivery estimate, and choose the service that aligns with the season opener. The rink volunteer presses all 80 over two evenings, at a per-jersey cost well below sublimated jerseys.
Government Event Merch on Grande Allee
Or picture a Grande Allee organisation running a public-sector conference for 65 staff that wants branded polos. The communications team finalizes artwork Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday morning the events coordinator orders 65 transfers before noon; the order ships from Montreal the same day. At checkout they see the carrier options for the office postal code, weigh the delivery estimates against the Friday event date, and select the service with the most comfortable buffer. A nearby decorator presses all 65 in one session. No minimum negotiation, no supplier visit, no formal quote cycle.
Quebec City DTF Transfers: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a location or pickup option in Quebec City?
No. Printivo operates from Montreal, Quebec. We do not have a Quebec City storefront, warehouse, or pickup counter. All orders are produced in Montreal and shipped via tracked carrier. If you need transfers in your hands the same day you order, we cannot provide that because our studio is not in your city. For orders where same-day dispatch from Montreal suits your timeline, our noon Eastern cutoff means your order moves the same afternoon. Delivery timing and cost are set by the carrier options you see at checkout.
How does shipping work for Quebec City orders?
Orders placed before 12:00 PM Eastern on a business day ship the same day from our Montreal studio; orders after noon, or on weekends and holidays, ship the next business day. Quebec City is on Eastern Time, same as Montreal, so noon Eastern is noon local. At checkout you choose from the available carrier and speed options for your address, and each shows its estimated delivery timeframe and cost before you confirm. Those estimates come from the carrier. Printivo does not control transit once the order leaves our facility and does not guarantee a delivery date beyond what the carrier states at checkout. We send tracking at dispatch so you can follow the shipment directly.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No. There is no minimum order at Printivo. You can order a single transfer or hundreds at once. The price per transfer decreases as quantity increases, but there is no quantity floor. This is a permanent policy, not a promotion. If you need one transfer to test a colourway before committing to a full run, you can order exactly one. If a client brings you a job local shops won’t accept below their minimum, you can fulfil it through Printivo without compromise or surcharge.
What is a gang sheet and how does it reduce my cost?
A gang sheet is a single large-format film onto which multiple different designs are arranged together as efficiently as space allows. Instead of ordering each design as a separate job at a separate price, you fill one sheet with all your artwork and pay for the sheet, priced by area at $0.017 per square inch (from $7.48 for a 22×20 inch sheet up to $74.80 for a 22×200 inch sheet). If you are managing several small client jobs at once, or releasing multiple graphic variations in one drop, a gang sheet consolidates everything into one production run and one shipment. Our ordering page includes file specifications so you can prepare artwork correctly.
Will the prints hold up through repeated washing?
Yes, when applied correctly using the pressing parameters we include with every order. Printivo DTF transfers are produced with a process calibrated for wash durability: the film, inks, adhesive powder, and curing are all selected for longevity rather than initial visual impact alone. Pressed at the right temperature, pressure, and peel timing, the transfers hold colour and adhesion through repeated washing without significant cracking, peeling, or fading. The key variables are on the application side, which is why we provide clear instructions with each order. Decorators who follow them report results matching the durability of direct-to-garment printing.
Can you handle bulk orders for sports teams or corporate events?
Yes. Printivo processes orders of any size, and team and event orders are among the most common requests from Quebec City customers. For sports leagues, that typically means player-specific name and number transfers ordered individually but shipped together in one batch. For government and corporate events, a branded graphic at quantities from 15 pieces for a small team gift to several hundred for a conference. There are no minimums and no upper limits. If your order has a fixed event date, placing it as early as your artwork is finalized gives you the most buffer. For very large orders, contact us first to confirm production capacity and discuss dispatch timing.
