Why Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing?
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing is ideal for high-quality, full-colour designs on t-shirts, hoodies, and promotional apparel. This advanced digital method uses water-based inks that absorb into the fabric, creating soft, breathable prints that won’t crack or peel.
DTG is perfect for businesses, fashion brands, startups, bands, and personalized gifts where complex, multi-colour artwork is required.
Best Uses for DTG Printing
Small-batch or limited-edition custom apparel
Photorealistic or gradient designs
Retro or vintage-style prints
Band merchandise and startup brand apparel
Personalized gifts and event t-shirts
