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

Embroidery

EMBROIDERY

Uses decorative stitching to create a raised design with threads of different types and colors.

Benefits:

  • Works with most garment colors, including dark colors like black and navy blue
  • Can be used on cotton, cotton blends, and synthetic materials
  • Provides excellent color saturation
  • A great choice for businesses or someone wanting a professional look

SCREEN PRINTING

Uses a series of screens to force ink through fibers in order to create a design. Multiple layers of screen printing are used to achieve designs with numerous colors.

Benefits:

  • Works with most garment colors, including dark colors like black and navy blue
  • Provides excellent color saturation
  • Has a great artsy, vintage look

Ultra-Print

ULTRA PRINTS

Almost identical to screen printing with inks applied onto specialty paper. The inks are transferred from the paper to the garment using pressurized heat.

Benefits:

  • Works with most garment colors, including dark colors like black and navy blue
  • Provides excellent color saturation
  • Specialty paper can be used for another printing order of the same design at a later time

VINYL APPLICATION

Uses vinyl cut into a pattern or design that is applied to a garment using pressurized heat.

Benefits:

  • Exceptionally durable, often used for sport uniforms
  • Works with most garment colors, including dark colors like black and navy blue
  • Provides excellent color saturation
  • Can be used on cotton, cotton blends, and synthetic materials

    I’ve worked with Big Frog twice now, and both experiences have been excellent! Every time I come in, Jimmy is extremely helpful, friendly, and takes the time to help bring my ideas to life with my apparel. The customer service is always great, and I really appreciate Jimmy’s creativity and support throughout the process. Super nice, easy to work with, and I highly recommend them.

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The quality of the BeWell941 shirts was exactly what I was looking for—great material, great fit, and they came out looking amazing. The service was just as impressive. The gentleman I worked with was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He took the time to walk me through my options in a way that felt helpful, not overwhelming or confusing, which I really appreciated. The entire process was smooth from start to finish, and the turnaround time was quick and completely hassle-free.

    I can't believe how easy this was! I had an idea for a funny t-shirt. I came to Jimmy with the idea and he had some great input. Within a very short time he had an awesome design ready to go. The high tech sports performance shirts I ordered came in by the end of the week and surprisingly, the process was NOT expensive at all! Fantastic experience!! Very satisfied!!!
