What is DTG Printing?
Direct to garment printing (DTG) is a method of applying water-based ink directly onto fabric using specialist printers. It’s one of the most versatile digital garment printing techniques available – allowing full-colour, high-resolution images to be printed with no need for screens or transfer films. DTG is ideal for small batches, one-off prints or designs with gradients, shading and fine detail. The result is a soft-feel print that bonds with the fabric and moves naturally when worn.
DTG printing is most effective on 100% cotton garments, including t shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies. It’s perfect for independent fashion labels, designers, content creators and anyone who needs short-run, professional-quality prints with fast turnaround.

DTG Printing Services for Brands, Merch and Short Runs
Short-Run Digital Garment Printing for Fashion and Retail
DTG printing is perfect for small clothing brands, influencers and start-ups looking to test designs without committing to large stock orders. We can print individual garments or small batches – with detailed artwork, vivid colour and a retail-quality finish.
It’s ideal for soft-style t shirts and hoodies where the print needs to feel as good as it looks. You’ll get a smooth, breathable print with no raised texture, allowing comfort and design impact in equal measure. Our team will help you match the right garments to your artwork and offer advice on file preparation for the best results.
Custom Direct to Garment Printing for Events & Creators
If you’re creating merchandise for a tour, podcast, campaign or creative project, DTG printing offers flexibility and detail that traditional methods can’t match. We’ll help you choose the right garments, prepare your artwork and deliver short-run orders on time – all with rich colours and crisp lines.
Whether you're producing just 10 items or 100, direct to garment printing allows you to focus on creativity rather than inventory. Ideal for creators working on limited editions or new product drops, this method supports full-colour designs without the constraints of bulk printing.
High-Detail Printing for Personalised Apparel
For designs with gradients, fine lines or photographic elements, DTG is the best choice. We use advanced garment printers that can produce high-resolution images directly onto fabric, creating wearable art that won’t peel or crack. Perfect for gifts, staff wear or personalised apparel projects, this technique captures every detail while maintaining softness and durability.
DTG is especially suited for one-off designs and bespoke artwork, allowing artists, designers and individuals to bring their ideas to life without compromise. Garments remain breathable and comfortable, with prints that look sharp even after repeated washing.
