Bring your designs to life with custom printing and embroidery options
Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing
DTG printing is ideal for intricate, multi-colour designs, including photographs and detailed graphics. It works best on cotton garments, delivering soft, vibrant prints that absorb directly into the fabric.
All-over print (AOP) sublimation printing
Sublimation printing creates full-coverage designs from seam to seam. It’s ideal for bold patterns and complex artwork on polyester fabrics, resulting in long-lasting, fade-resistant prints.
Custom embroidery
Embroidery offers a lasting, textured look for your designs that’ll never fade, crack, or peel – meant for logos, exquisite designs, and text. Choose from various thread colours for a professional finish on hats, polo shirts, and some t-shirt styles.
Direct-to-film (DTF) printing
DTF printing supports full-colour designs on a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends. It’s valued for its durability, sharp detail, and colour accuracy, making it a versatile option for custom apparel.
Knitting
Knitting weaves your design into the garment itself using jacquard techniques. It creates rich patterns with a premium, textured feel. Pick up to 4 yarn colours for sweaters, tees, vests, and toques – made on demand with no minimums.
DTFlex: Printful’s exclusive solution to custom designs
DTFlex is Printful’s next-gen direct-to-film print, engineered for sharper detail, cleaner edges, and richer colour matching. Expect photo-realistic results, vibrant tones, and a smooth finish with no glue residue – built to last on many fabric types.
