Q: What is the difference between DTF, embroidery, screen printing, and screen print transfers?

DTF (Direct-to-Film) prints a full-colour design onto a film that is then heat-pressed onto the garment. It's great for detailed or multi-colour artwork and works on almost any fabric. Embroidery stitches your design directly into the fabric using thread. It creates a premium, textured look and is best for hats, polos, and jackets. Screen Printing presses ink directly onto the garment through a stencil. It's the most cost-effective option for large quantities (250+ units) and produces bold, long-lasting monochrome prints. Screen Print Transfers are screen printed designs applied to transfer paper and heat-pressed onto garments. They offer the highest durability of all our methods, with Pantone colour accuracy and a professional finish on virtually any surface. Which method is right for me?
