5 Printify customization methods for Print on Demand
Printify offers versatile customization methods to bring your unique designs to life, catering to different fabrics and styles. Explore five ways to produce personalized items for yourself or your online store and meet the demand of today’s customers with precision and creativity.
Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing
DTG is a popular printing method that uses water-based inks to print directly onto cotton fabrics, making it ideal for t-shirts and apparel. This technique excels at reproducing complex artwork with vivid colors. DTG prints are perfect for personalized orders with intricate details, gradients, and designs without worrying about print area restrictions.

All-over printing (AOP)
AOP covers the entire surface of a product, ensuring no white spaces are left behind. This method is ideal for full-pattern designs on items like dresses, wrapping paper, AOP hoodies, and t-shirts. It lets your designs wrap around every part of the fabric, giving your products a premium look.

Dye sublimation
Sublimation printing transfers ink into the fabric fibers, making it a durable choice for polyester materials. It’s ideal for custom products like tote bags, apparel, and face masks. Sublimation offers vibrant, long-lasting prints, perfect for designs that demand attention and personalization across a full product surface.
Direct-to-film (DTF) printing
DTF prints involve transferring artwork onto films, then applying adhesive powder and heat to create high-quality designs. It works well on different fabrics and is great for niche designs with high detail. DTF printing offers flexibility for more specialized orders, creating intricate designs with a bold finish.
Embroidery
Unlike other printing methods, embroidery uses thread to personalize and stitch custom designs directly onto fabrics. It’s perfect for hats, caps, and apparel that require a premium, textured look. This method is ideal for businesses seeking to add logos to branded items, offering durability and timeless appeal.

FAQ
First, select a product on the Printify Catalog and start designing using the Product Creator. There, you can add different colors, scents, and sizes. Once your product is created, choose which variants to publish (by simply ticking the boxes).

Printify recommends using high-resolution PNG and JPEG files with a transparent background. The Product Creator tool shows design recommendations for each product and print area to ensure the best results.
To ensure high-quality prints, always use high-resolution artwork and double-check the print area during customization. Avoid stretching designs too much in the Product Creator. For best results, preview the design before submitting. Place a sample order to test the print quality before mass production.
