Printing Techniques
Comprehensive Industrial Apparel Printing Capabilities
Selected according to your fabric weight, blend, visual effect, target unit price, and wash durability requirements.
Flock Screen Printing
Integrates adhesive compounds with micro-fiber flocking to generate a raised, velvety texture. Perfect for adding a luxurious tactile dimension to varsity apparel, hoodies, and premium graphic tees.
Water-Based & Pigment Printing
Uses water-soluble pigments that penetrate deep into natural cotton fibers. Yields an ultra-soft hand feel with zero ink weight, ideal for vintage fashion collections and light-colored garments.
Discharge Screen Printing
Employs a specialized bleaching agent that strips the original fabric dye while depositing fresh pigment. Results in vibrant prints on dark cotton garments without heavy plastisol buildup.
High-Density (3D) Printing
Uses heavy-viscosity silicone or specialty inks applied through thick capillary stencils. Produces clean, sharp-edged 3D raised graphic lettering on hoodies, sweatshirts, and activewear.
Crack / Shatter Print
Formulated with specialty inks that fracture naturally upon heat curing. Delivers an authentic aged, worn-in, vintage aesthetic popular in streetwear aesthetic collections.
Puff Screen Printing
Incorporate foaming blowing agents into plastisol inks. When passed through heat tunnels, the ink expands upwards creating a smooth, rounded 3D raised effect across artwork focal points.
Glow-in-the-Dark Printing
Formulated with phosphorescent pigments that absorb ambient light and glow in low-light environments. Perfect for night running gear, promotional merchandise, and novelty lines.
All-Over Dye Sublimation
Heat-gaseous ink fusion into polyester yarns. Provides 100% seam-to-seam coverage for activewear and jerseys with zero cracking, peeling, or fading over long-term usage.
Sticker Heat Transfer
Precision thermal transfer ideal for intricate multi-color crests, chest logos, and tagless inner neck brand labels. Applies smoothly to cotton, synthetic, and blended knits.
Digital Printing
Direct digital ink jetting onto fabric panels before cutting. Excellent for high-resolution graphics, complex gradient transitions, and intricate multi-color graphics.
Direct-to-Garment (DTG)
High-resolution inkjet technology printing directly onto pre-treated 100% cotton garments. Ideal for full-color artwork with unlimited shade variations and photographic prints.

Frequently Asked Questions About Apparel Printing
Clear answers to technical printing inquiries routinely raised by international brand buyers.
We operate a full-service internal printing floor capable of automated Silk Screen Printing (plastisol, water-based, discharge, flock, crackle), Direct-to-Garment (DTG), Dye Sublimation, Puff Print, High-Density 3D Print, Glow-in-the-Dark, and Tagless Heat Transfers.
Our standard MOQ is 200 units per style/artwork. You can split sizes (S through 3XL) within the 200-unit batch at no additional setup charge. Pre-production sample strike-offs are completed for sign-off prior to bulk production runs.
We use premium eco-friendly inks (OEKO-TEX certified) combined with forced-air infrared conveyor tunnel curing. Every print run is tested under ISO 105-C06 standards to ensure zero cracking, peeling, or color fading for over 50 industrial wash cycles.
Please provide vector files created in Adobe Illustrator (.AI, .EPS, .PDF) with all fonts converted to outlines. For DTG or digital prints, high-resolution Photoshop files (.PSD or .PNG) at 300 DPI or higher are required along with designated Pantone (PMS) color codes.
Yes. For all-over graphics or seam-overriding artwork, we utilize roll-to-roll dye sublimation for synthetic fabrics or print cut-panels prior to final garment sewing for cotton fleece and jersey styles.
