The Metro Atlanta Guide to DTF Custom Apparel: Why It Beats Screen Printing

When organizations in Metro Atlanta—from local high school sports teams to thriving businesses in Lawrenceville—need custom apparel, they historically turned to traditional screen printing. However, a newer, vastly superior technology has taken the lead: Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing.

At Fast Apparel, we specialize in DTF because it offers unparalleled benefits for both bulk orders and small batches. Here is why you should make the switch.

1. Brilliant, Full-Color Designs

Traditional screen printing charges you per color. Want a vibrant, 6-color logo? That will cost you a hefty setup fee. DTF printing, on the other hand, allows for stunning, photo-realistic, full-color prints at no extra cost. Your team’s gear will pop on the field or in the office.

2. Unbeatable Durability

Atlanta weather can be tough, and sports teams need gear that can take a beating. DTF transfers bond deeply with the fabric, resulting in a print that stretches without cracking and survives countless washes. Your logo will stay intact season after season.

3. No Minimum Orders

Whether you need exactly 12 jerseys for a youth basketball team or 500 promotional shirts for a corporate event in Buckhead, DTF has you covered. By eliminating the grueling setup process of screen printing, DTF allows us to offer low-to-no minimum order quantities.

4. Faster Local Turnaround

Because there is less manual setup involved, DTF printing is inherently faster. Fast Apparel is located right here in Lawrenceville, which means Metro Atlanta customers skip the shipping delays of out-of-state competitors. Most bulk orders are ready in about a week.

Conclusion

For vibrant, durable, and cost-effective custom apparel, DTF printing is the undisputed champion.
