Techniques for creating custom clothes with Printify
Our Print Providers use only the best decoration methods for your custom apparel.
Direct-to-garment: Soft feel, sharp detail
Best for: Cotton garments like t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts.
Direct-to-garment printing applies water-based ink straight onto the garment. You get a soft hand feel, crisp lines, and smooth color transitions that make every print look clean and professional.
Printify uses digital printing methods, which research shows can use 90-95% less water than traditional garment printing methods.
Direct-to-film: Bold graphics, built to last
Best for: Custom apparel like t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats.
Direct-to-film printing places your design on a special film, adds adhesive powder, and uses heat transfer to apply it to the fabric. The result is vibrant, flexible, and very durable.
Dye sublimation: Full coverage, big impact
Best for: All-over prints on synthetic-based apparel like custom shirts and activewear.
Dye sublimation uses heat to bond color into the material itself. This gives you edge-to-edge coverage, rich color, and a smooth finish that becomes part of the product.
Embroidery: Premium texture, polished finish
Best for: Hats, polos, hoodies, and premium logo placements.
Embroidery stitches thread directly into the fabric for a textured, durable finish. It gives custom apparel a polished, luxurious look.
