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

Benefits:

  • 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

    They did awesome! Helped with my shirts exactly how I wanted and they came out perfect 💪🏾
    By Eric Sanchez
    Great customer service. Product turned out exactly as expected. Great experience all around.
    By Niccole Pitts
    Insanely impressed with the PRINT QUALITY. I’ve had my fair share of manufactures for shirts, but this company has stellar printers that are crisp and vibrant. Thank you, Emma!
    By Lauren Martin
    I received very fast service from Big frog and the quality was great! Thank you! :)
    By Eva Perry
    I had my own special blanks. They were able to work with me on a fair quote for just the screen printing service in the smallish quantity I had. They completed my order within the timeframe I needed it done. I received a high quality screen print and the print was big enough to look nice on my special blanks. I’m impressed and satisfied working with them and look forward to my next order!
    By Nico Remy
    Top notch service compared to their competition. Place a second order already!

    By Wesley Gorges
    I love T-shirts, and I especially love having them match wherever I go when there’s a theme. Every idea I’ve ever wanted on a T-shirt, you all have been able to bring to life for me. The customer service is always top-notch, and the quality of the work is consistently great. Thank you so much—I’ll definitely be seeing you again soon! As you can see in my photo all the T-shirts I have had made.

    I highly recommend using Big Frog for your printing needs. Big shout out to Emma who was so helpful with my order for tshirts and some other items. She was so nice to help me out completing the designs on my shirts. She has a great eye for design and color, and quickly refined my artwork on the computer to produce exactly what I wanted. Very talented and personable and made my experience at Big Frog a very positive one. Great prices as well. I will definitely return with my next project👍🏼

    Big Frog is an exceptional company that delivers high-quality work. I’ve used their services for two consecutive years for our Summer Camp event, and both the quality of the shirts and the printing have been excellent.
