DTG Production (Add-On)
- Description
If you're ordering blanks directly from our website and want the easiest process for smaller orders, you need to order an 'Add-On' production method alongside your desired blanks. For every blank, there must be an 'Add-On' to ensure you're charged the correct amount and your custom product(s) can be produced by us.
This DTG 'Add-On' has design placement options. Please check the below breakdown of this option to ensure you select the correct one. If for any reason we review your order and something doesn't seem right, we'll reach out to see if we have to reduce or increase your charge.
Confused? Feel free to directly email us any questions or visit this page to order manually via the contact form where we'll get back to you shortly to arrange the order and payment.
Design Size.
Small (90x90mm)
This is for smaller centre or left chest designs and whilst the option is there to make these complex, they can only be so complex due to the size restrictions. Ie. if you have lots of small text embroidered closely together, they likely won't turn out great.
Medium (120x170mm)
This is our most popular size and what we've used for the majority of our designs across the years. It enables a fast embroidery that's perfect for central designs that stand out but also don't swamp the whole garment. You can get pretty detailed here without compromise.
Large (180x290mm)
For those big embroidery designs with either lots of text or large graphics. They can work great on the front or back of garments and have loads of space for different element. However, they cost the most due to the time taken and the amount of stitches required.
Design Complexity.
Basic.
A simple word, phrase or extremely simple graphic (ie. a line drawing). If you think your design might be on the cusp, it's likely you'll have opt for one of the other two options.
Moderate.
Most designs will fall under this category and it also has a slight correlation with design size (a small or medium design will usually always fall into this category)
Complex.
If your design has a lot of text, a more detailed graphic or simply a lot going on, it'll be classed as complex. This category usually correlates with thread colours.
DTG Explained.
DTG printing is one of the newest but most commonly used today printing methods due to its fast nature whilst not compromising quality. It uses a flatbed specialised printer to directly print onto garments and is then finished using heat and chemical treatments.
You are more limited in the type of garments that can be used with DTG, namely flat garments (t-shirts, hoodies etc) and not fleeces/more obscure garments which would suite a method like embroidery better. However, DTG is perfect for all sizes of orders given its quick turnaround time and lack of requirement for any upfront costs.
Whilst we don't perform these in house (yet), we have a great partnership with a printing company who can do runs from 1 to as many as you need and as ever, at a greatly competitive price. We are hoping to eventually bring this process in house but are trying to gauge demand initially.
