Question
Screen printing or DTG for my shirt order?
Answer
The best printing method depends on how many shirts you need, how complex the artwork is, and your budget. Three approaches cover most projects.
| Method | Best for |
|---|---|
| Screen printing | Batches of 10+ identical shirts - most cost-effective per unit |
| DTG (direct-to-garment) | Complex, full-color artwork or single-shirt orders |
| Fabric painting | Completely unique, hand-crafted, one-off pieces |
Match the method to your order size first: screen printing rewards volume, while DTG shines for detailed or on-demand single prints.
