If you're in need of custom t-shirts for an event, fundraiser, or promotion, you may be wondering what printing method is best for your needs. At Rapanui, we offer both screen printing and DTG printing services to suit a variety of order sizes and design types. Let's take a closer look at what you need to know about bulk t-shirt printing with Rapanui.
Screen Printing for Bulk Orders
For orders of 50 or more shirts, screen printing is the most efficient and cost-effective method. Our commercial-scale automatic screen printing carousels allow us to offer high-quality prints at a low price per shirt. But what exactly is screen printing?
Screen printing involves applying layers of ink through a stencil (or screen) onto the shirt. Each layer applies a new color or element to the design, resulting in a vibrant and durable print. Screen printing works best with simple, bold designs that use few colors, but we can work with up to 12 colors in a single design.
One thing to note is that the minimum order quantity for screen printing applies to the design, not the garments. This means that you can mix and match t-shirt sizes or colors as long as the design remains the same. We also offer a range of t-shirt styles and colors to choose from to best suit your needs.
DTG Printing for Small Runs
If you're looking to order less than 50 shirts or want a more complex design with lots of colors or detail, DTG printing may be the way to go. DTG printing (or direct-to-garment printing) is a digital printing process that uses high-quality ink to print directly onto the shirt. This allows for full-color prints with intricate detail and shading.
At Rapanui, we are proud to use DTG printers that produce high-quality prints on our own range of organic cotton t-shirts. Not only are our shirts ethically sourced, but we also offer next-day delivery on small runs with no setup costs.
