What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ is 50 pieces per design, per size, per color. We do not require per-style minimums, so you can mix sizes freely. Reorders start at 30 pieces.

Can you print all-over on cotton T-shirts?

Yes. We run digital pigment ink on 100% cotton via direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, which holds color on cotton without polyester. We also offer allover digital print on cotton for true edge-to-edge, and DTF for blended fabrics.

Do you ship DDP (door-to-door with duties paid)?

Yes. DDP is available to 50+ countries via DHL, FedEx, and ocean freight. Your landed cost is fixed at quote time: no surprise customs bills on delivery. US orders can ship from our Fontana CA warehouse in 2–5 days.

How long does production take?

Sample: 3–5 business days after artwork approval. Bulk: 10–15 business days for sublimation, 15–20 for DTG cotton. Shipping adds 3–7 days by air or 25–40 days by sea. Rush orders are accepted.

What file format should I send?

AI, PSD, PDF, or PNG at 300 DPI. Include a mockup or tech pack for accurate sizing. We provide a free artwork check and mockup before production starts.

Do you handle design if I only have a sketch?

Yes. Our in-house design team converts sketches, references, and bullet-point briefs into print-ready artwork. Free mockup, no commitment, no IP claim.

Direct print fabric

Direct print fabric is a tightly woven polyester with a special coating that holds dispersed dye at the surface. This allows higher-resolution prints than transfer sublimation — ideal for flags, banners, and signage where image sharpness matters more than drape. The fabric is stiffer than apparel substrates, optimized for flat applications.

How we print on direct print fabric.

Dye-sublimation

Direct print fabric is dye-sublimation-friendly, meaning we can print photo-quality all-over graphics edge-to-edge. The print becomes part of the fiber — it won't crack, peel, or fade. For other substrates in your project, we offer DTF and screen-print as fallback options.

FAQ

Common questions about direct print fabric.

What's the difference between direct print and transfer sublimation?

Direct print uses a digital printer that lays ink directly onto coated fabric. Transfer sublimation prints on paper first, then heat-presses onto fabric. Direct gives higher resolution; transfer gives softer hand and works on more substrates.
