DECORATION METHODS
Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing
Full-color, detailed designs printed straight onto the garment. Ideal for photo-style art, lots of colors and short runs.
A specialized printer applies ink directly to the garment, a lot like a printer puts ink on paper. Because there are no screens to set up, every color in your design costs the same, so detailed, colorful art and small orders are where DTG shines.
It works best on cotton and cotton-rich garments. For larger runs of simpler designs, screen printing is usually the better value, and we’ll tell you which makes more sense.
What to know
- No color limits. Gradients, photos and fine detail print as they look.
- Short runs welcome. No screen setup, so small orders make sense.
- Best on cotton. We’ll confirm the garment works before we print.
- Proof before production. You approve a mockup before anything is made.
- Turnaround: typically 2–3 weeks from approval. Have a date? Tell us.
