Fifth Column Ltd

General information

We began printing T-shirts some 39 years ago in a time when there weren’t many other T-shirt printers around. Now you will find hundreds of companies on the internet offering t-shirt printing, along with a multitude of additional services, which are so often farmed out to other suppliers.

Well, we don’t do that: we are simply a quality, custom T-shirt company, printing T-shirts, hoodies and bags on the premises and dealing directly with you.

With years of experience and state of the art silk screen printing equipment, we offer:

DESIGN: A professional team that can help you put your T-shirt design ideas together.
QUANTITIES AND TURNAROUND: A versatile set-up that can print 20 T-shirts or 200,000 T-shirts with the same care and attention to detail, and that always delivers on time. Our normal turnaround is 5-7 working days, but we can almost always beat that if you have a more pressing deadline, like tomorrow!
EQUIPMENT: State of the art machinery, printing up to eleven colours, as well as skilled hand printers for large format printing.
SALES STAFF: Our experienced team can advise on what T-shirts to use, where money can be saved, print processes, inks etc. You will also find that, as our staff stick around, you can develop a good working relationship with us.
ETHICS AND ENVIRONMENT: We also offer you the peace of mind of knowing that we strive to run our business in a fair and just way, respecting people’s employment rights and caring for environmental issues. We can supply GOTS approved organic T-shirts, from the Earth Positive range, or Fairtrade certified T shirts and hoodies from Epona. We keep all our employees on permanent contracts, and we are very pround that we have signed up to the London Living Wage!
WHERE ARE WE?: We have moved to new premises of 11,000 square feet, just five minutes walk from Tottenham Hale Tube station. There are lovely riverside walks just opposite our workplace. We are welcoming and sociable types, and therefore happy to have our clients come in and visit us. We work with many top designers and are used to having our customers on site checking out samples and discussing possibilities.
