Planning your printed shirts order for Al Gharrafa
The calendar in Qatar sets the delivery window for printed shirts. Hot summers favour light fabrics from April to October. Buying peaks before Ramadan, Eid, National Day (18 December) and the start of the school year. For printed shirts specifically, printed shirts sell hardest for spring and summer, beach and resort seasons, and festive weeks; orders for the northern summer are placed October–January. Our lead time is 40–50 days including strike-off approval; digital print samples in 7–10 days, plus sea transit of about 5–10 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of printed shirts in Al Gharrafa include resort and beachwear retailers, tourist-area boutiques, online fashion sellers and wholesalers supplying summer collections. In Al Gharrafa, they usually order 1,000–1,500 pieces per design, with minimum 3 colourways; digital printing allows smaller runs of about 300 pieces per design at a higher unit cost and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Al Gharrafa
Because the climate in Qatar is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For printed shirts we recommend Rayon challis and viscose twill 100–130 GSM, with cotton-polyester blends for durable prints as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.
Sizes: S–3XL regular fit; relaxed and boxy cuts for resort shirts; kids' printed shirts 2–14 years. Colours: Print designs in 4–8 colourways per design; seasonal palettes are suggested for each market.
Printed Shirts made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make printed shirts in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Al Gharrafa market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.
How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

About our printed shirts
Many importers use printed shirts as a bridge product: they add a few designs to a container of basics such as T-shirts and jeans, which spreads the minimums and keeps the shelf fresh without a large commitment.
Printed shirts are the fastest-moving fashion line in warm-weather markets, and designs age quickly. That is why we run small-batch digital printing alongside conventional rotary and screen printing: a buyer can test twenty designs, see which sell, and then reorder the winners in rotary quantities.
