Direct to Garment (DTG) Printing

This page should tell you everything you want to know about our DTG printing services…

We can design for you ($120/hour), you can supply your own design, or you can soon use our online design tool to setup and purchase your apparel. 

DTG printing has specific printable area limitations. Please see the details below.

Orders

With all DTG orders payment or payment arrangements must be complete prior to the order being put on our production schedule.

Production Time

Times vary based upon production load, so please check with us. For smaller orders, garment printing can be a same-day service.

Artwork

You will want to conceptualize your designs and/or set up your art files to correspond to these printable areas:

  • Sleeve, L/R chest or Neck area: 4″ x 4″ maximum
  • Youth sizing: 10″ x 12″ maximum
  • Adult sizing: 14″ x 16″ maximum
  • XL+ sizing: 16″ X 20″ maximum

All artwork should be submitted as vector (.eps, .ai) or as high res .psd, .pdf, .tiff, .png or .jpeg with 300 dpi minimum and transparent backgrounds.

DTG is a fully digital process. There is no color matching or Pantone matching available.

Garments

We print on demand on 100% cotton Gildan Heavy Cotton and Gildan Softstyle short sleeve t-shirts in White, Black, Charcoal, Sport Gray, Navy and Red. Other colors will add to the production time.

No discounts are given for supplied garments. When you supply your own garments, you assume all risk and you must account for 10% spoilage. We cannot guarantee print quality on supplied garments and are not responsible for the finished product.

Pricing

Pricing is based on three factors:

  1. the garment (either white or non-white)
  2. the size of the print (dictated by your artwork and the print location)
  3. the number of printed areas

Our site provides pricing for full-color DTG printing… not screen printing. Screen printing may be a better fit for your job. To read about some of the differences between these two printing methods, read this article.

Limitations and Disclaimers

DTG equipment limitations dictate the following:

  • We do not print full length sleeves of long sleeve shirts
  • We do not print on shorts or pants
  • We do not print over seams

Spoilage

If you are supplying garments, in addition to considering the above limitations, you must account for 10% spoilage.

We cannot stress enough how much better your experience will be if you allow us to print on our garments.

Shipping

Shipping is at cost plus a handling fee and must be prepaid.
