Which Decorating Service is Best for Your Custom T-Shirt Needs?

Not sure which decorating service to choose for a fun run, corporate or group shirt? Here’s a quick guide to help you:

Direct-to-Garment-T-Shirt-Printing

DIRECT-TO-GARMENT (DTG) PRINTING

Uses an all-digital process to inkjet print onto a garment or merchandise.

Benefits:

  • Printing can be done fast—usually in 24 hours
  • Images can be high resolution and full color
  • Water-based ink is eco-friendly
  • Printing feels soft to the touch

DIRECT-TO-GARMENT (DTG) PRINTING WITH WHITE

Prints a white layer as a “primer” on darker garments, then adds colored inks on top of the primer.

Benefits:

  • Images can be high resolution and full color
  • Works with most garment colors, including dark colors like black and navy blue
  • Works best with 100% cotton products
  • Provides excellent color saturation

I had a great experience with Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More! They brought my K-One Musik winter edition sweaters to life and customized my son’s onesie, which turned out absolutely amazing. The team was professional, helpful, and attentive to detail throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Big Frog for high-quality custom apparel and will definitely return for future merchandise!

By charlie Romero
I had a really great experience with Tamara ordering two shirts with different designs. She helped me a lot editing my images to be printed on the shirts, ensuring they had the right colors to be high contrast against the fabric and high enough resolution to not be pixelated when blown up. The cost was good and the turn around was very fast. I strongly recommend getting your shirts printed here!

Tamara and her team at Big Frog in Albuquerque delivered exactly what I needed and more.

Exceptional products, exceptional service. Highly recommended.

By Deinyna Duenas
I had an outstanding experience with Big Frog Albuquerque. The owner personally ensured my campaign t-shirts came out exactly right, especially paying close attention to the color contrast so the design really stands out. The quality of the shirts is excellent, clean prints, durable material, and professional finish. What impressed me most was the turnaround time. My shirts were completed the same day without sacrificing quality, which is rare and extremely valuable when working on a campaign timeline. Customer service was top-tier, I rated it a 10. The team was attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly committed to getting the job done right. Highly recommend Big Frog Albuquerque for anyone needing high-quality custom apparel with fast, reliable service.

Fabulous! I brought the artwork and Tamara reviewed it. Her expertise in making some small changes truly enhanced my idea and the result was better than I expected. The design has the right amount of 'pop' in a perfect, subtle way in just the right area. Efficient and professional, recommended for sure.

Tamara has a dedicated spirit to Burqueneos, and NM overall. She is ready to work with and knows how to help you find just what you're looking for. My work in non-profit needs advertising and support, she offers both at a very reasonable cost.
