Digital Printing
Using inkjet technology to directly print designs onto fabric, commonly known as DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing. Due to the ink penetrating the fabric, garments produced using DTG are lighter and more breathable.
Screen Printing
Screen printing utilizes a mesh screen as a template to apply an ink layer onto the fabric's surface.
For screen printing, a separate screen template is needed for each different color in the design, and each template requires one or multiple printing processes. Therefore, for patterns with multiple colors, both the production and template costs for screen printing tend to be relatively high.
Here are several common types of screen printing:
Water-Based Ink Screen Print
Water-Based Inks Screen Printing is suitable for light-colored fabrics.
Water-Based Ink Screen Prints offer an ultra soft hand feel, as the inks are actually absorbed into the fabrics.
Plastisol-Based Ink Screen Print
Plastisol-Based Inks Screen Printing is suitable for dark-colored fabrics.
Plastisol inks will leave a thin film over the fabric, which can be felt by hand and have a thicker feel as compared to water-based ink screen print.
Pulling Printing
Pulling paste printing employs a highly durable paste, and after applying the paste with a brush, the screen is lifted to leave more paste on the fabric.
Crack Printing
Crackled printing utilizes a paste that shrinks and cracks when exposed to heat, creating a natural textured crackle effect after printing and drying.
Puff Printing
Puff printing employs a paste that expands when subjected to heat, resulting in a distinctive raised texture after the printing and drying process.
Thick Plate Printing
Thick Plate Printing utilizes a specialized printing plate that allows for the application of a thicker layer of ink during the printing process, resulting in a bold and prominent printed effect.
Embroidery
Embroidery comes in two forms: directly stitching patterns onto the fabric with thread and embroidering pre-made materials onto the clothing.
The larger the embroidery area and the more intricate the stitching, the higher the cost.
Additionally, it is not recommended to use extensive embroidery on lightweight fabrics with a small GSM.

Heat Transfer Printing
Heat transfer printing involves printing on transfer paper or vinyl and applying it to clothing through heat and pressure.
The main advantages of heat transfer are the ability to achieve vibrant colors, intricate designs, and high-resolution patterns at a relatively lower cost.
However, heat transfer patterns may have a pronounced plastic feel and lack breathability.
Washing Effect
The washing process aims to achieve a vintage or distressed appearance to clothing. Spraying a special effects agents solution onto specific areas achieves localized fading, while immersing the entire garment in a mixture of special effects agents solution, sand (and stones), and agitating it results in overall fading with unique patterns.
