DTG printing applies ink directly to the garment and can be suitable for detailed, colourful artwork.
Best for:

- smaller quantities
Heat-transfer methods can be useful for names, numbers, individual designs and certain promotional applications.
Best for:
- sportswear

Although technically not T-shirt printing, embroidery is another branding option for garments where a premium embroidered appearance is preferred.
Best for:

- sizes
- printing method
- number of print positions

What Fabric Options Are Available for Custom T-Shirts?
At Inkspire Visuals, we can help you choose a T-shirt based on the quality, fabric and intended use of your order.
- Standard cotton: A practical option for promotional campaigns, events and larger bulk orders.
- Midweight cotton: A good balance of comfort, durability and affordability for everyday branded T-shirts.
- Premium/heavier cotton: A thicker, more substantial option for corporate clothing and premium branded apparel.
- Cotton/polyester blends: A versatile option for everyday branded clothing.
- Polyester/sports fabric: Suitable for sports teams, activewear and events.
The GSM (grams per square metre) can also help differentiate fabric weight and quality, with heavier GSM generally providing a thicker, more substantial feel.
