DTG
Direct-to-Garment
Full Color, No Limits
Direct-to-garment printing uses specialized inkjet technology to print your artwork directly onto the fabric. Unlimited colors, photographic detail, and a soft hand feel that makes the print part of the shirt, not something sitting on top of it.
No screens to burn, no setup fees to worry about, and no high minimums standing between you and the finished product. DTG is built for orders of 1 to 72 pieces, making it the go-to for samples, on-demand fulfillment, and small-batch runs.
From File to Finished
Upload
Send us your artwork in any common format. High-resolution files with transparent backgrounds work best, but we can prep your art if needed.
Proof
We send a digital mockup showing your design on the garment. Revisions are free until you are completely satisfied with how it looks.
Your design is printed directly onto the garment using water-based inks that absorb into the fabric for a soft, durable finish.
Ship
Finished garments ship anywhere in the US. Small runs mean fast turnaround, so your order moves quickly from press to doorstep.
Features & Capabilities
DTG printing opens the door to designs that other methods simply cannot handle. Here is what makes it different.
Full Spectrum Printing
Print as many colors as your design needs without adding cost per color. Gradients, photographs, and complex multicolor artwork all print at the same price.
Zero Screen Charges
There are no screens to burn and no plates to create. Your artwork goes straight from file to garment, which eliminates setup costs entirely.
1 to 72 Pieces
Order exactly what you need. DTG is purpose-built for small quantities where traditional screen printing minimums do not make financial sense.
Ink That Breathes
Water-based inks absorb directly into the fabric instead of sitting on top. The result is a soft, lightweight feel with no heavy layer over the print area.
Photographic Detail
Reproduce photographs, fine gradients, and intricate artwork with sharpness and color accuracy that screen printing cannot achieve at low quantities.
Water-Based Inks
DTG uses eco-friendly water-based inks with lower waste output than traditional methods. Less ink waste, fewer chemicals, and no excess screens to dispose of.
Print on Demand Ready
Need to fulfill orders one at a time as they come in? DTG is built for on-demand production, so you never have to carry inventory or guess quantities.
Quick for Small Batches
Without screen setup or lengthy prep work, small DTG orders move through production faster. Ideal when you need samples quickly or are working on a tight timeline.
Cotton & Cotton Blends
DTG performs best on 100% cotton and cotton-rich blends. The natural fibers absorb ink cleanly, producing the sharpest colors and longest-lasting prints.
Who Uses DTG?
DTG is the right fit when your order size is small but your design ambitions are not.
Sample Orders
Print a single piece to check the look and fit before committing to a larger production run with screen printing or another method.
Merch Drops
Launch limited-edition designs without the risk of overproduction. Print only what sells and reorder as demand grows.
On-Demand Fulfillment
Fulfill individual orders as they come in. No pre-printed inventory, no storage costs, and no guessing how many you need up front.
Complex Artwork
Designs with dozens of colors, fine gradients, or photographic elements that would require expensive multi-screen setups in traditional printing.
Small Events
Reunions, birthdays, bachelor parties, team outings. When you need 10 or 20 shirts with a full-color design, DTG is the cost-effective choice.
Brand Prototyping
Test new colorways, design variations, or product lines with small batches before scaling up to screen printing for full production.
