DTG printing
With DTG printing, your design is printed directly onto the garment. You can customize clothing, like t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts with all sorts of colored prints. DTG printing is perfect for designs including:
- photos
- intricate details
- lots of colors
Follow these DTG file guidelines to create perfect products:
All-over printing
All-over prints mean your design covers the product seam-to-seam. We start by printing your design on a large roll of fabric, then we cut and sew the material into a product. Use this technique for:
- patterns
- large-scale designs
Sublimation
Much like with all-over printing, sublimation means your design covers all of the product. Your design is printed on a ready-made product, like a mug or a phone case. Designs that look best on sublimated products:
- patterns
- large-scale designs
Embroidery
Your design is embroidered with colored threads onto a garment or an accessory. Use this customization technique to give your design some texture. This is a guideline on how to create the perfect embroidery file. Ideas for the perfect embroidery design:
- text designs
- bold logos
- thick lines
DTFlex printing
DTFlex is Printful’s premium take on direct-to-film printing. It delivers razor-sharp details, brilliant colors, ultra-clean edges, and durable, vibrant results.
Available on both cotton and synthetic apparel and hats, DTFlex is a fantastic option for your most complex designs, especially:
