Unlike Screen Printing which requires screens to be made up and inks to be mixed, Direct to Garment Printing is perfect for short runs of full colour prints on to a wide range of clothing at a reasonable price.
Garment Printing are one of the few companies in the UK who have access to Direct to Garment Printing machinery and we can now produce printed t-shirts within just a few hours of receiving your correctly formated artwork. As there is no minimum order for Direct to Garment Printing, you can order just 1 or 1000 t-shirts each with their own full color design printed on to them. This is perfect for Stag Nights, Hen Nights, sports teams and promotions. This would not be possible with Screen Printing.
View our Direct to Garment Printing movie below, showing the processes and equipment used in this industry. We use the following machines: Brother's GT-541 with a brand-new high-performance platform for printing onto white garments and, the new Brother GT-782 direct to garment printing machine for printing onto dark garments.
