The Benefits of DTG - Direct to Garment Print.

Chris Ackroyd • 12 May 2025, 11:46 a.m.

DTG (Direct to Garment) printing offers several powerful benefits for branded workwear, especially when image quality, flexibility, and speed matter. Here's a breakdown of why it's an ideal option:

Top Benefits of DTG Printing for Branded Workwear

1. Photo-Quality Full-Colour Prints

  • DTG excels at producing vivid, high-resolution images, including gradients, small details, and complex logos, perfect for brands with colourful or intricate artwork.

2. No Minimum Order Quantity

  • Ideal for small businesses or custom one-offs, DTG allows you to print as few as one garment at a time, unlike screen printing which often requires bulk orders.

3. Faster Turnaround Times

  • No setup or screens needed, so DTG is quick to produce, making it great for rush jobs or limited-time promotions.

4. Soft to the Touch

  • DTG inks are water-based and soak directly into the fabric, leaving a soft, breathable finish, no heavy or plastic-like feeling on the garment.

5. Eco-Friendly Option

  • Water-based inks and on-demand production make DTG a more sustainable choice with less waste and fewer harmful chemicals.

6. Perfect for Cotton Garments

  • DTG is best suited for 100% cotton or high-cotton blends, making it ideal for t-shirts, hoodies, aprons, and polos used in branded uniforms.

7. Great for Limited Edition Uniforms or Seasonal Staff

  • Easy to update designs, print staff names or job roles, or produce short-run seasonal workwear without long lead times.

Best Use Cases:

  • T-shirts for promo events
  • Detailed multicolour logos
  • Branded uniforms for hospitality and retail
  • Personalised items for staff

Overall DTG printing is a great choice for many industries and businesses.
