Print durability depends on the method and the fabric underneath it. Screen printing is widely considered the most long-lasting for bulk orders, while sublimation lasts longest on polyester because the dye fuses into the fibers. The right choice balances order size, fabric, and how often the garment gets washed.
- Screen printing: Extremely durable, ideal for high-volume runs of one design
- Sublimation: Permanent on polyester; won't crack or peel
- DTF: Strong wash resistance, flexible across fabrics
- DTG: Great detail, but softens faster than screen printing over time
