    • Large volume printing box icon

      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 West Los Angeles 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.

What Our Customers Say

We ordered 350 tote bags from Big Frog and I have nothing but positive feedback for the process as well as the end result. Product came out great, communication was prompt and easy, and the folks there were flexible and helpful. Definitely recommend for your merch needs!
By Asa Beal
Wow, what a place! We had an idea for a gift, very last minute, and wanted a local shop so we wouldn't get lost in the emails back and forth. Then we found Big Frog. They were so easy to work with, interested in our project, had great recommendations and the price was very reasonable. Unbelievably fast turnaround time and everything turned out exactly as we had hoped. And what a great team! Everyone made the experience easy and fun. Thank you, we'll be back!
By S French
Amazed by the quality! The best custom T-shirt store is in town! The team is very professional and kind, and the quality of work is unmatched. Highly recommended
By Sepehr Soleimani
They did a great job printing t-shirts for my movie. The artwork I had provided them was in the wrong color for the shirts I selected (too dark to show up) and they spotted the problem and fixed the artwork for me. The shirts came out looking perfect. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
By Jonathan Blank
Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and they prepare everything on-site which makes the turnaround time very quick.
By John Fry
We hosted our fourth annual SheroCon comics & gaming convention a few weeks ago at the Valley Relics Museum and the owner offered to provide tees for our volunteers. The tees turned out super cute and you can feel the quality. I’ve been printing and selling screen printed t-shirts since I launched my former company “Off My Chest Tees” in 2010, so I have a LOT of experience in dealing with screen printers and with finding quality tees for my line of t-shirts. Big Frog West LA really came through for us with some amazing tees that I think are going to hold up for a while. I highly recommend.

I needed a shirt for a quick turnaround on a Friday and for an event Monday. That’s when I stumbled upon Big Frog on a quick google search. Aaron and Lizzy are so accommodating and lovely in getting my quick turnaround order in getting all the details right - even during their busy opening week! Glad to find a local vendor in the Santa Monica area. Highly recommend if you need a print job done! We’ll be back !!

I visited the booth of Big Frog Apparel working hard at the Santa Monica Fair. The team was highly professional, helpful, and explained their services perfectly. A 24-hour turnaround for great quality shirts is amazing. Great new business!"
By Debbie Vail Holmes
This place is incredible! They were able to accommodate a large last minute order. They helped me select a design and were very responsive in communicating. Aaron delivered the shirts himself, and they are very high quality. I will definitely be using them again in the future!
By Camille Oswald
Shirts received were high quality, thick cotton. Prints are durable and come out well in the wash. Prices competitive with online, particularly when factoring in the free design services.
