What Tshirtdeal does

Tshirtdeal is a privately held Dutch textile-printing business founded in 2009, operating from a production facility and showroom on Nikkelstraat 8 in Ridderkerk, near Rotterdam. The company prints and personalises apparel and accessories — T-shirts, hoodies, sweaters, polos, jackets, workwear, baby clothing, hats, beanies, bags, towels, scarves, and mugs — using DTF (Direct To Film) technology on four in-house 6-head printers with combined capacity of approximately 140 m²/hour, supplemented by UV DTF sticker production, in-house embroidery, and a sewing atelier for custom labels and personalised plush toys.

The business operates a self-serve, direct-to-consumer e-commerce model anchored by a proprietary online product designer with live garment preview and real-time pricing, complemented by a B2B sales motion in which account managers support larger orders and emerging clothing brands. Customers can order from a single piece upward, and the company also sells DTF transfers and UV DTF stickers by the metre to resellers and hobby printers. Pricing is unit-based, with basic T-shirt printing starting at €2.95 and premium organic softshell products above €45, and quote-based pricing for orders of 25+ items.

Tshirtdeal serves a broad, horizontally segmented customer base of individual consumers, businesses, associations, events, schools, clothing brands, and resellers, primarily in the Netherlands but with active cross-border selling into Belgium, Germany, Spain and France. The company employs roughly 40 staff across design, production, warehouse, account management, marketing, and data functions, and reports a customer satisfaction score of 9.3/10 across 33,877 reviews. It has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors, having grown organically since founding.
