      Ideal for Large Volume Printing. Need only 10 shirts? Need 1000? DTF printing is perfect for small or large batches, offering flexibility in the number of shirts you can order. Ask us about volume discounts for the best value.

    • Vibrant Full-Color Brilliance. DTF printing brings a rainbow of high-detail colors to life. Ideal for group and event shirts, it delivers bright, bold, and vibrant designs with unmatched brilliance.
  • Fast Turnaround. DTF print orders typically can be completed in less than two weeks, depending on the size of the order. So, DTF is much faster than most screen-printing orders.
  • High-Resolution Images. Want to print a funny photo of your brother on a birthday shirt? DTF printing is an ideal option for printing full color images and designs in high detail and high resolution.
  • Clean & Green. Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More of Portland is committed to eco-friendly processes. Just like DTG printing, DTF printing is environmentally friendly and uses non-toxic, water-based ink for a clean and green approach.

MORE REASONS TO CHOOSE DIRECT-TO-FILM PRINTING (DTF)

  • Perfect for Dark Colors. DTF printing is an excellent choice for dark-colored apparel, allowing for the creation of bold, full color design and garment contrast.
  • Soft Feel. When you choose to decorate your custom apparel using DTF printing, you won’t be settling for anything less than a soft printed feel.
  • Hassel-Free Reordering. DTF printing uses specialty transfer sheets to decorate garments. We can save extra DTF sheets with your design for later use; this makes it easier to provide additional shirts later – just in case you forgot that one shirt for Uncle John.
  • Great for Onsite Printing at Events. DTF printing is a convenient solution for creating custom t-shirts and other decorated apparel at events, fundraisers, school functions, and other locations.

Very impressed with this place. I stop by unannounced during a busy time for them and they still took the time to help and educate me on the process. Both Sanford and Nika who I worked with were excellent and I would highly recommend

I have had several single orders of custom printed T-shirts made here for birthdays and celebrations. Their web site is designed well for easy online entry. They got back to me promptly with a fair price and draft. Delivered flawlessly. I heartily recommend this place for excellent customer service.
By Sunil Shenoy
Very affordable prices! And quick turn around for printing single items!
By Felix Stokes
Copying my yelp review here on Google too! Big frog is incredible. Have used them three times now. For t shirts and for custom images on tote bags. Their service and work quality exceeds expectations. They’re able to turn things around very quickly (Less then 24 hours has been my experience) simply because that’s already how they work. None of the additional hassle and extra unhidden costs we experience basically everywhere. Dakotah did an amazing job as a graphic designer and was also very knowledgeable and anticipatory about how different color inks would show up when assessing making a shirt for my dog. Thank you!
By Jennifer Chi
I went to this place to get two unique shirts done for a friend and I was impressed with the result. Good quality work. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would come here again.
By Peter M
I picked up custom t-shirts from two Portland shops back to back, and while they were printed on different materials, it’s pretty clear that Big Frog wins out on the print quality. Each of the three tees from Big Frog were unique, and the price jump per unit wasn’t significant from their quote on a different, matching larger batch print job.
By Matt Simmons
Great experience! The T-shirt was made fast, the quality is really good, and the price was very reasonable. I’m very happy with the result and would definitely come back again.
By Artiom Gevorgian
I had a great experience with this business, both online and in person.
By Georgia Harker
Big Frog is Portland’s finest custom t-shirt shop! The designers are great to work with. The pricing is fair. And their production is flawless and timely. You’re even greeted by a “ribbit” when you open their door. This place is creative and fun!!
By Nancy Chilless
Nice and friendly and the work was what I expected!A1
By Johnny Marco
Big Frog helped me with a special one-off t-shirt gift recently, They were easy to deal with, had lots of great shirt options, and produced a nice looking novelty gift on a short turn around for a fair price.
