Small Order Printing Methods

We offer three primary printing techniques for orders consisting of less than ten items, each of which is outlined below. Our team will determine the optimal method for your order unless otherwise specified by you.

Direct To Film Printing

Direct-to-film printing is a sophisticated and reliable printing technique that produces stunning, high-quality digital images on fabrics without the need for screens or other intermediary steps. This cutting-edge technology provides superior precision and accuracy, resulting in crisp, clear images that are sure to impress. The ink is embedded into the fabric, creating a seamless design that won’t crack or peel over time, while the soft feel of the print ensures maximum comfort for the wearer. Whether you’re a professional photographer or an individual looking to capture your memories in the best possible way, direct-to-film printing is a perfect choice!

Ideal For:

  1. – Prints on garments with unique fabric contents
  2. – Large designs with sharp edges
  3. – Small designs with sharp edges
  4. – Full colour designs
  5. – Prints on fleece items

Not Ideal For:

  1. – Prints with fuzzy edges (like hair or fur)
  2. – Prints with very small text (less than .25 inches high)

Direct To Garment Printing

Direct to garment printing, or DTG printing, is a revolutionary technique that allows for the creation of stunning, high-quality prints on t-shirts and other fabrics with unmatched precision and accuracy. With DTG printing, there are no limitations to the number of colors or design complexity, and the results are vibrant and long-lasting.  Additionally, because the ink is absorbed directly into the fabric, the designs have a soft, breathable feel that is perfect for everyday wear. So whether you’re looking to create custom t-shirts for your business or simply want to express your creativity with a unique design, DTG printing is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to make a lasting impression.

Ideal For:

  1. – Prints on garments with high cotton content
  2. – Designs of any size
  3. – Designs with fuzzy edges (like hair or fur)
  4. – Full colour designs
  5. – Prints on t-shirts or tank tops
  6. – Prints with very small text

Not Ideal For:

  1. – Prints on fleece garments (hoodies or crewnecks)
  2. – Prints on garments with less than 50% cotton content

Heat Transfer Vinyl

Heat transfer vinyl, or HTV, is a popular method of transferring designs onto fabric using a heat press. With HTV, a design is cut out of vinyl and then pressed onto the fabric using heat and pressure, creating a bond between the vinyl and the fabric. HTV is a versatile and cost-effective option for creating custom apparel, with single-colour designs. However, it may not be as durable as other methods, and the vinyl may crack or peel over time with repeated washing and wearing.

Ideal For:

  1. – Custom names and numbers on sports team shirts
  2. – Prints on garments with unique fabric contents
  3. – Designs of any size
  4. – Designs with sharp edges
  5. – Single colour designs
  6. – Prints with large text

Not Ideal For:

  1. – Prints with more than 1 colour
  2. – Designs with fine details
  3. – Designs with small text
