Printing

Since our founding in 2002, RushOrderTees has customized millions of t-shirts and garments using a wide range of printing methods.

While we typically select the print method for an order based on a variety of factors including the product, quantity, and type of design, if you have a special request, feel free to reach out to our team.

Screen Printing

Screen printing is a process that uses a mesh screen to transfer ink onto an underlying garment. The basic operation starts with the creation of a stenciled screen that allows the selective application of ink to a piece of apparel. Every color applied requires a separate screen to place the ink exactly where needed within the design. Screen printing has become the standard customization for t-shirts and apparel.

This method is great for:

  • Larger, high-volume orders
  • Unique or oversized print areas
  • Single-color prints, such as text or logos
  • Specialty or special FX inks

Think big & complicated inkjet printer. Also known as digital printing, DTG has become increasingly popular due to the simplicity of the printing process.

DTG is best for:

  • Smaller, simple orders
  • Standard print locations and sizing
  • Multi-color prints, like photos
