Deciding What Printing Technique is Best for Your Custom Merch Order
Thinking about ordering custom merch for your local business, school, or university and not sure where to start? At Nitro USA, we've been perfecting company swag, bulk order tshirts, and local screen printing jobs for over 30 years! Here's some lingo you might want to know before placing that order:
Screen Printing: Many custom tshirts and custom hoodies are made with the screen printing process. While there are options for online ordering with large manufacturers, working with a local screen printer is your best bet for proper artwork placement (not in armpits or on bellies), clean and crisp edges, and accurate ink colors that will last.
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing: This printing technique is best for small to medium orders like custom work uniforms for your team. DTG uses inkjet technology that prints designs directly on your garments. We recommend DTG for smaller orders when you need a more affordable option.
Heat Transfers: If you have a small run order and need a quick turnaround time, heat transfers are a great choice. Heat transfers are also ideal for custom apparel with multiple colors or complex designs. It's important to find a reliable apparel vendor for heat transfers to ensure your designs are properly placed and the correct heat is used.
