Printing on shirts: screen, vinyl and DTG compared

The three processes

• Screen print — the workhorse. Blocks of colour, hard-wearing, cheapest in bulk.
• Vinyl/transfer — good for small runs and one-colour logos on smooth faces.
• DTG (direct to garment) — photo-real but thinner on heavy workwear fabrics.

What suits shirts

31 styles in this family give us a lot of faces to work with. Screen and vinyl are the two that hold up on site; DTG is best for soft, premium-facing pieces.

Sample the range

• Asquith & Fox Men’s cotton long sleeve Oxford shirt from £29.50

• Build Your Brand Denim shirt from £33.00
• Craghoppers Expert Kiwi short-sleeved shirt from £31.50

Ordering print

Bring the artwork, we'll proof it. One-colour screen on a chest is the classic volume deal; multi-colour logos cost more per colour, not per garment.
