Five ways we put
your design on fabric.

DTF, DTF rolls, screen print, puff print or embroidery — every printed order runs through one of these five finishes. See what each looks like, what it costs, and which one fits your design.

DTF Printing

Your design prints onto a special film, then heat-presses onto the garment. Full colour, photographic detail and gradients all print cleanly — and because there's no screen setup, it stays affordable even at 10 pieces. The default for most print-on-demand and small-batch orders.

Rolls of printed DTF film MOQ · 1 metre
Film supply

DTF Printed Rolls

The same DTF print, supplied as a roll of transfer film rather than pressed onto a garment. Built for brands with their own heat press who want to apply designs themselves — on our blanks, on stock they already hold, or on any other fabric.

Screen printing ink through mesh MOQ · 40 pcs/design
Screen & ink

Screen Printing

Ink is pushed through a mesh stencil, one colour at a time. It needs a new screen per colour, which is why it only makes sense from 40 pieces upward — but past that point, it's usually the cheapest way to print the same logo across a large batch.

  • Wash durabilityVery durable, thick ink layer
  • Best for1–3 colour logos & wordmarks
  • Not ideal forPhotographic or gradient designs
  • Priced byColours · quantity · size

Raised puff print texture close-up MOQ · 40 pcs/design
Raised texture

Puff Printing

A special ink additive expands when heat-cured, giving text and logos a soft, raised 3D texture instead of sitting flat. It runs through the same screen process, so it shares screen printing's MOQ and pricing — really a texture option on top of it, not a separate process.

  • FinishSoft, raised, noticeably 3D to the touch

Embroidered thread patch detail MOQ · 40 pcs/design
Stitched thread

Embroidery

Your logo is stitched directly into the fabric using thread rather than ink. It's the most durable finish on offer — there's no print layer to crack, fade or peel. It reads as premium, which is why it's the default for polos, caps and corporate merch.

  • Wash durabilityHighest — thread won't fade or peel

FAQ

A few things worth knowing

Which method should I pick for a small streetwear drop vs. a corporate order?

For a small drop — a graphic tee, a limited design, testing an idea — DTF is the natural fit, since it's the only method that works from just 10 pieces. For corporate or uniform orders where a logo needs to last years on a polo or cap, embroidery is the better call, even with its higher 40-piece minimum.

Why does screen printing and embroidery need 40 pieces but DTF only needs 10?

Screen printing and embroidery both require a one-time setup per design — burning a screen per colour, or digitising a stitch file — before a single piece can be produced. That cost only makes sense to absorb at higher volume. DTF prints straight from a digital file with no per-design setup, so it stays viable at just 10 pieces.

Which print method lasts the longest?

Embroidery is the most durable finish — it's stitched thread, so there's nothing to crack, fade or peel. DTF is a close second among printed finishes, rated for excellent wash durability and strong adhesion across all fabrics.

What is a neck label print?

A small DTF print placed inside the collar — your brand name or logo printed directly onto the fabric where a woven label would normally sit. At ₹5/pc, it's the cheapest way to brand every unit you order, at any quantity.
