Screen Printing

Screen printing works like a giant stencil. It is the most common method for printing a custom t-shirt. You create your design and send it to your printing partner. They then burn it onto a screen, push ink through it, and onto your garment using a squeegee.

This process is great for large quantity orders and produces a long lasting, durable product.

Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)

This versatile technique allows for intricate designs with multiple colors, making it ideal for personalized shirts, limited-edition runs, or one-off creations. HTV offers a quicker turnaround. This process can be applied to fabric types that screen printing cannot, such as nylon, 100% polyester, and textured surfaces.

The vinyl layer can feel thicker on the shirt compared to screen printing, which might be less comfortable for some individuals.

Direct-to-Film (DTF)

DTF is similar to HTV in that DTF can be applied on a wide range of materials including, cotton, nylon, treated leather, polyester, 50/50 blends and more (light and dark fabrics). DTF is the better option for more intricate designs with many colors.

This process produces very bold, photo-like images and offers quick turnaround.

Laser Engraving

Laser engraving or etching can either etch or burn your design into a variety of products like cups, mug, glass, metal, wood
