We’re proud to serve Gaston, Columbia, West Columbia, Cayce, Lexington, Swansea, and surrounding South Carolina communities.
What Is Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing?
Direct-to-Garment printing is a modern printing method where we print your design directly onto the fabric using advanced inkjet technology. Think of it like a high-end printer for apparel.
It allows for:
- Full-color designs (including gradients and photos)
- No screen setup fees
- No large minimum orders
- Soft, breathable prints
- Quick turnaround times
If your design has lots of colors, small details, or even a photograph, DTG is often the best option.
When Should You Choose DTG Instead of Screen Printing?
DTG is ideal if you’re searching for:
- “Custom shirts with no minimum near me”
- “Print a single shirt in Columbia SC”
- “Photo printed t-shirts in Lexington SC”
- “Small batch t-shirt printing in Gaston”
Choose DTG if:
- You need fewer than 24 shirts
- Your design has many colors or shading
- You want a soft print feel
- You need a quick reorder option
- You’re testing a new brand or design
If you’re ordering large quantities (48+ pieces of the same design), screen printing may be more cost-effective — and we’ll always guide you to the best option.

“Will DTG shirts last?”
Yes — when properly cared for.

- Washing inside out
- Cold water
- Tumble dry low or hang dry
When cared for properly, DTG prints remain bright and soft for years.
How Much Does DTG Printing Cost in South Carolina?
Pricing depends on:
- Garment type (cotton works best for DTG)
- Print size
- Number of shirts
- Artwork complexity
Because there are no screen setup fees, DTG is often more affordable for small orders compared to screen printing.
