Manufacturer of Custom Digital Print Men's T-Shirts

Choosing the right printing method is key to creating a great custom T-shirt. Here’s a simple breakdown of the most common techniques.

1. Screen Printing

How it works: A stencil is used to push ink onto the fabric. Each color needs a separate stencil.

Best for: Simple designs and large orders.

Pros: Vibrant, durable, and cost-effective for big quantities.

Cons: Too expensive and complex for small orders or full-color photos.

2. DTG (Direct-to-Garment)

How it works: Works like an inkjet printer, spraying ink directly onto the T-shirt.

Best for: Complex designs, photographs, and small orders.

Pros: No color limits, perfect for detailed images.

Cons: Can be slow and costly for large batches; works best on light-colored shirts.

3. Heat Transfer

How it works: A design is first printed on a special film and then applied to the fabric with heat.

Best for: Small batches or single T-shirts with simple designs.

Pros: Low cost for prototypes, easy to do.

Cons: The print can feel sticky or plastic-like and may crack after washing.

4. Embroidery

How it works: Uses threads to stitch the design directly into the fabric.

Best for: Logos and text where a premium, professional look is desired.

Pros: Looks high-quality and is very durable.

Cons: Not good for detailed pictures; can be more expensive.

No single method is the best. Your choice should depend on your design, budget, and how many T-shirts you need.
