Six ways to put your design on a garment

Every method has a sweet spot. The trick is matching your quantity, artwork and fabric to the right one. Here is the short version of what we run at 5738 Holmes Ave. in Los Angeles.

Screen printing

Thick, opaque ink pushed through mesh, one screen per color. Solid color, serious durability and the best price per piece on bigger runs of one design. It also unlocks effects like puff, foil, metallic and glitter. Start at screen printing, or dig into inks and effects.

Embroidery

Your logo stitched in thread, with real texture and a finish that reads premium. Built for hats, polos, jackets and uniforms, with flat and 3D puff options. See embroidery.

Direct-to-garment (DTG)

A digital printer lays ink straight into the fabric. Full color, fine detail and a soft hand, with no screens to set up. See DTG printing.

Direct-to-film (DTF)

Your design is printed onto film and heat-pressed onto the garment. Vivid color on cotton, blends and polyester, which makes it a strong pick for full-color art on mixed fabrics. See DTF printing.

Embossing

No ink, just texture. Raised logos and patterns pressed into the fabric for a quiet, high-end look. See garment embossing.

Which method fits your order?

Start with three questions:

  • How many pieces? Screen printing and embroidery start at 12, DTG and DTF at 6. The bigger the run of one design, the more screen printing pays off.
  • What does the art look like? A few solid colors print beautifully on screen. Photos and gradients belong on DTG or DTF.
  • What is the garment? Hats, polos and jackets usually look best embroidered. Jerseys with individual names and numbers are usually DTF.

Not sure? Send the design and we will recommend a method, then run it through a free art check before anything is printed. For oversized prints, see large format screen printing.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Which printing method is cheapest for my order?

It depends on quantity and colors. For bold designs with a few solid colors, screen printing is usually the most cost-effective, and the price per piece drops as the run grows. For full-color or photo art, DTG or DTF usually wins because there are no screens to set up. Every order starts at 6 pieces (12 for screen printing and embroidery).

Can I combine methods on one order?

Yes. A common combo is screen printed tees for an event plus embroidered polos or hats for staff. We quote each item with the method that suits it.

Do you check my artwork before printing?

Every order gets a free art check before production, so issues like low resolution or thin lines are caught before anything is printed or stitched.

Can I get my order rushed?

Normal (about 2 weeks), Rush (1 week, +15%) and Super Rush (3 business days, +30%) turnaround options are available. Call or request a quote with your deadline and we will confirm what is possible.
