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

Direct to Garment (DTG) Printing
Direct to Garment printing applies ink to a garment using inkjet technology. This uses a process that applies fine droplets of different colors to render a full-color design. 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
- When soft feel or lightweight print is important
