Custom Apparel Options
Sublimation is the most permanent - it infuzes into the fabric, meaning it will not crack or peel away from the shirt. A few things with sublimation:
*Shirt has to be a light color, such as white, light grey, light pink, light blue, tan etc. Think of it as a highlighter, it will work on black or dark paper but you will not be able to see it.
*Shirt must be a high count polyster shirt. The higher the count, the more vibrant the design will be. However most people do not like a high count poly shirt as they do not breath well.
*The most popular option is our poly.cotton blend shirts that are a straight, unisex fit. Due to the cotton fibers in the shirt, the design will fade a bit and will have a ‘vintage’ look.
DTF stands for Direct to film - the design is printed in full color onto a plastic backer that is then applied to the shirt with heat. Here are a few things about DTF:
*DTF will have a slight plastic feel, but does soften as you wash it.
*Although very sturdy, eventually it will crack or peel away from the shirt.
*Any shirt, any color can be used with DTF. No restrictions! Typically we still use a poly/cotton blend shirt as this is most popular with our peeps!
*Being that we do not print these in house, there is a $3 uncharge for DTF prints.
