Standard turnaround for custom apparel is 7-10 business days after artwork approval. Rush orders are available for an additional fee. DTF orders with approved artwork can often ship within 3-5 business days. Business cards and print products typically ship within 2-3 business days.

Question 4

What is DTF printing and how is it different from screen printing?

Accepted Answer

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing transfers full-color designs onto apparel using a special film and adhesive. Unlike screen printing, DTF has no color limitations, no minimum orders, and works on virtually any fabric color. Screen printing is better for large bulk orders of simple designs, while DTF excels at photo-quality prints, small runs, and complex multi-color artwork.
