Get to know our product customization techniques
DTG Printing
At Merchlist, we use Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing to bring your designs to life with unmatched detail and color. Perfect for creating custom t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts, DTG allows you to print vibrant, high-resolution graphics directly onto fabric — ideal for:
✅ Photographs
✅ Intricate illustrations
✅ Multicolored designs and gradients
To ensure the best possible print quality on your custom products, follow these DTG file guidelines:
✅ DTG design file standards
✅ Transparency in DTG Files
All-Over Printing (AOP):
All-over printing (AOP) allows your design to cover the entire surface of a product — from seam to seam, edge to edge. It’s ideal for
✅ Patterns
✅ Bold graphics
✅ Large-scale designs
Sublimation
Sublimation is a high-impact printing technique where your design is heat-transferred onto a ready-made product, such as mugs, phone cases, bottles, or mousepads. The result? A vivid, long-lasting print that becomes part of the item — not just a surface layer.
Unlike all-over printing (which is done before sewing), sublimation is applied to pre-finished products, offering full-coverage customization with photo-quality detail that works best for:
✅ Patterns (repeating or abstract)
✅ Large-scale graphics or logos
✅ Gradient backgrounds or textures
✅Full-wrap designs that require edge-to-edge impact
Embroidery
Embroidery is a premium customization method where your design is stitched directly onto fabric using colored threads. Whether on apparel like caps, polo shirts, jackets, or accessories like tote bags and backpacks, embroidery gives your brand a tactile, high-quality finish that adds depth and distinction.
Unlike printing, embroidery adds texture and dimension, making it ideal for designs you want to feel — not just see:
✅Text-based designs (e.g., slogans, initials, monograms)
✅ Bold logos with minimal detail
✅ Simple shapes and thick lines that retain clarity when stitched
✅ Corporate uniforms, hospitality wear, and premium giveaways
Direct-to-Film (DTF)
Direct-to-Film (DTF) is a versatile, cutting-edge printing method that lets you apply vibrant, detailed designs onto fabrics that Direct-to-Garment (DTG) can’t handle — including fleece, nylon, polyester, and complex fabric blends.
DTF is ideal for high-impact designs on technical or specialty fabrics, including:
✅ Performance wear and sportswear
✅ Fleece jackets and hoodies
✅ Rainwear, tote bags, nylon pouches
✅ Custom uniforms or branded event gear
UV Printing
UV (Ultraviolet) printing is a cutting-edge technique that allows you to print full-color, high-resolution designs directly onto nonporous surfaces like plastic, glass, acrylic, metal, and coated wood. It’s perfect for tech accessories, drinkware, packaging, and more.
Why Use UV Printing?
✅ Vibrant colors and sharp detail — even on textured or curved surfaces
✅ Instant curing = faster production and no smudging
✅ Durable finish — ideal for products that get handled or used daily
✅ Slightly raised texture adds a premium, tactile feel
✅ Works on phone cases, mugs, power banks, pens, glassware, and more
