Hello World! Welcome Friends! Screen printing has been around for centuries and has gained worldwide popularity over the past few decades. But it’s only recently, with the advent of newer technologies, that ordering custom apparel has become almost as easy– and fast– as ordering a pizza.
The Internet Changed Everything
As has happened with industries of all types, the internet changed everything for the custom apparel business. It has never been easier to order custom caps singapore than it is these days. Twenty years ago, if you wanted your logo printed on shirts or custom hats for your landscaping company, there would be many steps involved and it would take a few weeks to get your finished product.
First, you had to call the printing company, explain what you wanted, mail (or fax) your artwork or information, pick out your garments, get a quote, place the order, have the garments shipped to the printer, then finally have the shirts printed and shipped out to you.
Today, when you use a t-shirt design website like RushOrderTees, within minutes you can create your own design using our “Design Studio”, choose your garments from a huge catalog of items, place your order and have the items printed immediately and shipped to you the next day. It’s truly one-stop shopping.
It’s so fast and easy, you can do it wearing pajama pants before you finish your morning coffee. It’s no wonder that every day thousands of customers around the country are using services like this.
Printing Technologies
Traditional screen printing has continued to make improvements each year in efficiency and quality, but the past decade has seen a newer printing technology emerge called direct-to-garment digital printing or DTG, and it’s taking the industry by storm.
DTG basically works like a giant inkjet printer that deposits the ink directly onto clothing. While there are still some limitations as far as materials that can be customized, as well as the ability to print large volume orders, it’s been a boon for companies who want to provide small run orders and even custom, single-piece orders– something that would be too cost-prohibitive with screen printing.
This is why we’ve seen the massive growth of online, print-on-demand companies. The old problem of inventory, which would eat into already-small profit margins, has been virtually eliminated by direct-to-garment technology. If a small startup company can get even a single DTG machine and build a simple storefront website, they are in business.
Another great thing about direct-to-garment is you can now print almost any full-color image with a quality result, even on darker garments, with the newer pre-treatment and “underbasing” techniques. The quality of printing by higher-end DTG machines is starting to rival the vibrancy and durability of a screen print, and the “hand” (or feel) is softer and less heavy.
With the growth of internet commerce and the latest printing technologies, it’s never been easier– or faster– to get custom printed apparel.
