Best For

Bulk tees, staff shirts, event merch, and brand runs.

FAQ

What is the minimum for screen printing?

Screen printing starts at 12 pieces. For better pricing per shirt, 24+ pieces usually makes more sense.

How many colors can I print?

Simple 1–3 color designs are usually the best fit. More colors may increase setup and production cost.

Can I print on the front and back?

Yes. Common placements include left chest, full front, full back, and sleeve prints. Each location may require its own setup.

Is screen printing better than DTF?

For larger runs and simple designs, usually yes. For full-color artwork, gradients, small runs, or highly detailed designs, DTF may be a better fit.

Can I mix sizes and shirt colors?

Yes. Sizes can be mixed. Garment colors can usually be mixed as long as the same print setup works across the order.
