If you’ve ever looked into making your own personalized shirts, you may have noticed that traditional methods like silk screening just aren’t suited to small orders. This can put a serious cramp in your creative options. If you are planning a family reunion, you might consider making a different design for each branch of the family. But if you just want a few custom shirts of each kind, minimum order sizes mean you either pay a lot for your shirts or end up with a bunch of extra shirts you don’t need. Then you have to add in setup charges, and in the end, it’s just not worth it for only a few shirts, no matter how good your idea is. Iron-on transfers are much less expensive, but if you want your shirt to last, they aren’t much of an alternative.

Now It’s Easy to Personalize a Shirt

Now there is a new option: Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing. This new technique is revolutionizing the garment customization industry. With DTG printing, it is easy and affordable to print a personlized shirt for any occasion. For that family reunion, you could even give each family member a unique shirt. Imagine each person having a shirt with their own photo and name on it, or with their location in the family tree highlighted! DTG printing makes just about any personlized shirt design easy.
