Custom Apparel

Apparel art that prints clean on fabric, not just on paper.

Screen print, DTG and vinyl-ready artwork — separated, sized and mocked up on the actual garment colour.

Overview

What you get with our t-shirt printing design service.

Fabric behaves differently to paper: colours shift, fine detail can clog a screen, and dark garments need underbase planning. We design and separate artwork specifically for your print method — screen printing, direct-to-garment or heat-transfer vinyl — and mock it up on your real garment colour before production.
