Built on Canada’s festival and touring circuit

During the late 1990s, one of Strong N Free’s owners produced and sold printed apparel while working throughout Canada’s festival and touring circuit. That experience included events and tours connected with The Tragically Hip, Edgefest, Lilith Fair and Sarah McLachlan, along with many other Canadian festivals and live events.

Those years created a practical understanding of what apparel businesses and event customers actually need: dependable production, designs that sell, consistent print quality and service that performs under real deadlines.

A new chapter in 2017

After taking a break from the apparel industry to operate a Mitsubishi dealership, the owner returned to clothing and printing in 2017 and established Strong N Free CDN. The technology has evolved, but the company’s foundation remains the same: hands-on experience, Canadian service and dependable production.

Today, Strong N Free supplies custom DTF transfers, gang sheets, stock transfers, blank garments and finished apparel to creators, print shops, organizations and growing brands across Canada.

Established in 2017. Experience dating to 1997.

Strong N Free combines decades of Canadian apparel knowledge with modern DTF production, four Canadian fulfillment points and ordering options built for projects of every size.
