Screen printing pushes thick ink through a mesh stencil onto the shirt. It’s a durable, high-opacity method that works well on custom tie dye shirts with bold artwork.

• Screen printing is ideal for solid-color logos, text, or illustrations using one to three colors. It creates clean, sharp edges and high contrast over tie dye backgrounds, especially when the dye pattern is loud or multicolored.
• It produces raised ink layers that sit on top of the shirt, creating bold visual separation between the print and the fabric. This is useful when your design needs to pop on top of a complex tie dye base.
• Screen printing is the most cost-efficient choice for high-quantity orders because the cost per shirt drops once the screens are set up. It’s commonly used for merch drops, staff uniforms, or promotional events with 25+ shirts in the same design.
• This method uses plastisol or water-based inks, both of which can be chosen based on the look and feel you want. Plastisol is more opaque and vibrant, while water-based is softer but may require more prep for tie dye fabrics.
• The printed design remains crisp and intact even after repeated washes, provided the garment is washed inside-out in cold water and line dried when possible.

Screen printing is reliable when your custom tie dye shirts need simple graphics to look bold and last through wear and tear.

DTF uses a film transfer process to apply full-color graphics onto various types of fabrics, including tie dye shirts made from blends or synthetics.

• DTF can be used on cotton, polyester, and mixed fabrics, making it ideal for tie dye shirts that don’t have a consistent weave or fiber content. It ensures consistent results even on irregular or streak-heavy dye patterns.
• This method supports high-resolution, multi-color artwork with precise detail and vibrant color. It works well for logos with small text, QR codes, or digital graphics that require accurate edges.
• The transfer process allows for sharp printing over uneven surfaces, which is especially helpful for tie dye shirts with heavy swirl patterns or texture in the dye.
• DTF prints are heat-pressed onto the shirt, creating a bonded surface that resists cracking, peeling, or fading through multiple wash cycles.
• It’s ideal for projects involving varied shirt types or low-quantity runs, since it doesn’t require screen setups or pretreatment like DTG. This flexibility makes it easy to print different sizes or styles without switching production methods.

DTF is a smart option when you're printing complex or detailed designs on custom tie dye shirts that don’t have a uniform fabric or color base.

Embroidery uses thread stitching to create logos, lettering, or patches directly on the shirt. It’s used when you want something textured, durable, and permanent.

• Embroidery works best on heavier or mid-weight tie dye shirts that can support the needlework without puckering. Thinner fabrics may not hold the thread tension properly, especially on areas with uneven dye patterns.
• It’s most commonly used for chest logos, sleeve branding, or collar placements, where the design needs to be small, clean, and visible but not overwhelming.
• Thread colors can be chosen to contrast or match the tie dye shirt, and we help adjust the palette so the stitching doesn’t get lost in the pattern.
• Stitched designs retain their shape and color even after years of wear, making embroidery ideal for apparel that gets heavy use, like uniforms, workwear, or resale items.
• Embroidery adds a textured, elevated look that gives custom tie dye shirts a more premium, finished feel compared to flat prints.

Use embroidery when you're adding a logo or small graphic to custom tie dye shirts and want something long-lasting that holds its form and color.
