Step 1: Design & Artwork Preparation

Hand-drawn sketches or digital designs (Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop).
Trend-focused themes (minimalist, vintage, typography, or eco-conscious prints).

Includes fabric type, print placement, Pantone colors, and sizing specs.
Ensures consistency in bulk production.

Step 2: Printing Techniques Compared
Choose the best method based on design complexity and budget:
A. Screen Printing
✅ Best for bulk orders (50+ pieces) ✅ Vibrant colors, long-lasting ❌ Not ideal for intricate designs
B. DTG (Direct-to-Garment) Printing
✅ No MOQs, perfect for on-demand t-shirts ✅ Photorealistic prints ❌ Higher cost per unit
C. Sublimation Printing
✅ Best for all-over prints (activewear) ✅ Fade-resistant ❌ Only works on polyester blends
D. Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
✅ Great for small batches & logos ✅ Affordable setup ❌ Less durable than screen printing
