Screen Printing — For Volume
Screen printing is an industry classic. Ink pushed through mesh onto fabric. Dense, vibrant print, 50+ washes. Price drops with volume. For 50–100 tees, cheaper than DTF. Downside — each color needs a stencil, not cost-effective for 1–5 pcs.
DTF — For Flexibility
DTF is digital printing. Design printed on film, transferred to fabric. Print even 1 tee with unlimited colors. Fine gradients and photos — perfect. More expensive on large runs.
Key Comparison
Durability: screen 50+, DTF 40+ washes. Min order: screen 10+, DTF 1. Detail: DTF wins. Price 50+ pcs: screen cheaper. Speed: DTF faster on small orders.
Our Recommendation
1–10 pcs with different designs — DTF. Same design 10+ pcs — screen. Not sure? Message us, we'll help for free.

Both technologies are excellent. Choice depends on volume, design and budget. We work with both.
