Our Print Methods
In 2021 we became the first print company in Australia to go 100% Direct-To-Film (DTF). It is still our standard method — retail-quality prints with no setup fees and no minimums. For high-volume runs of a single design, screen printing can be the better fit, and we will tell you when it is.
DTF vs. Screen Printing
Two good methods suited to different jobs. Here is how we decide which one your order runs on.
Direct-To-Film (DTF)
- Zero setup fees
- No minimum order quantity (Order 1 or 1,000)
- Unlimited colors & photorealistic details
- Consistently perfect retail quality
- Stretches with the fabric, won't crack
- Lasts 50+ washes easily
- Eco-friendly, OEKO-TEX® certified water-based inks
Screen Printing
- Cost-effective per unit on large runs
- Ink sits in the weave for a soft, traditional finish
- Well suited to bold, simple artwork
- Specialty inks and finishes available
- A proven method used for decades
- Screens are burned per colour, so setup applies
- Offered case by case — we will advise if it suits your run
Why DTF Is Our Default
