t-shirt getting digitally printed with a printer

Digital Printing

An inkjet printer sprays water-based ink directly onto the t-shirt. It’s great for small batch production.

Screen Printing

More expensive at the start as each color of the design has separate screens, but the results are vibrant.

sublimation printing on a t-shirt

Sublimation Printing

The process of sublimation uses heat to turn dye into gas, which then bonds with the fabric, the handfeel is great.

acid wash t shirt

Garment Dye

T-shirts are washed in speical acids and enzymes, which creates a faded and vintage appearance.

Discharge Printing

A special bleaching agent is applied through mesh to achieve a faded vintage look, handfeel is super soft.

puff printed t-shirt

Puff Printing

Similar to screen prinitng but with speical the ink (foaming agent) when heated it rises and creates puff prints.

Garment Wash & Finishing Capabilities for Cotton T-shirts

We help brands create retail-ready garments with specialized finishing and washing techniques.

Pigment Dyeing

Pigment dyeing is one of the most sought-after methods; the pigment sits on the fabric surface, creating subtle, faded tones that improve with every wash. Ideal for vintage-inspired collections, this technique leaves the garment soft, breathable, and naturally distressed overtime.

Reverse Cold Pigment Dyeing

This technique adds an extra layer of dimension. The garment is dyed, then strategically washed to remove pigment from certain areas, leaving bold contrasts at seams and folds. It’s perfect for brands aiming for authentic, worn-in effects with strong streetwear appeal.

charcoal distressed scid wash t-shirt

Acid Wash

Acid washing uses bleach or oxidizing agents to create high-contrast, clouded effects on dark fabrics. It’s ideal for edgy, grunge-inspired pieces, with every garment coming out uniquely marbled. We also offer controlled acid wash techniques for more refined results.

Reactive Dyeing

Reactive dyes chemically bond with cotton fibers, resulting in vibrant, colorfast garments. This method is best for t-shirts and hoodies that need to hold bright color through repeated wear and washing, offering both durability and deep color saturation.

charcoal color enzyme wash t-shirt

Enzyme Washing

Enzyme washing gently softens garments while subtly distressing the fabric surface. This eco-friendly process creates that sought-after “worn-in” feel without compromising fabric integrity. Perfect for achieving effortless comfort in everyday streetwear.

Garment Dyeing​

In this method where we dye the finished product after construction, not the fabric. This creates beautiful variations around seams and stitching, making each piece unique—an ideal approach for streetwear collections focused on individuality and craftsmanship.
