From Print to Stitch: Your Guide to MITE Merch Techniques
Every design has its ideal match — whether you’re aiming for bold impact, fine detail, or premium texture. Choosing the right customization method ensures your merch looks sharp, feels right, and lasts longer. From apparel to accessories, we help you align your creative vision with the technique that brings it to life.
Your Merch, Your Way: Customization Methods Explained
DTG Printing at MITE Merch
We use Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing to deliver vibrant, high-resolution designs directly onto your custom t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts. It’s perfect for:
✅ Photographic prints
✅ Detailed illustrations
✅ Multicolor gradients and complex artwork
For best results, follow our DTG file prep guidelines:
✅ Use high-resolution, print-ready files (preferably vector or 300 DPI PNG)
✅ Ensure transparent backgrounds where needed for clean edges and accurate placement
All-Over Printing (AOP) at MITE Merch
We use All-Over Printing (AOP) to wrap your design across the entire surface of a product—from seam to seam, edge to edge. It’s ideal for:
✅ Repeating patterns and textures
✅ Bold, full-coverage graphics
✅ Large-scale branding and immersive visuals
For best results, follow our DTG file prep guidelines:
✅ Use high-resolution files (300 DPI or vector)
✅ Extend your design beyond the bleed area to avoid white edges
✅ Avoid placing critical elements near seams or folds
Embroidery at MITE Merch
Embroidery adds a premium, tactile finish by stitching your design directly onto fabric using colored threads. Ideal for caps, polos, jackets, tote bags, and backpacks, it brings depth and durability to your custom merch.
Perfect for:
✅ Text-based designs (slogans, initials, monograms)
✅ Bold logos with clean lines
✅ Simple shapes that retain clarity when stitched
✅ Corporate uniforms, hospitality wear, and upscale giveaways
For best results, follow our DTG file prep guidelines:
✅ Submit vector or high-resolution files
✅ Avoid fine details or gradients
✅ Choose thread colors that contrast well with fabric tones
Direct-to-Film (DTF) at MITE Merch
DTF printing lets us transfer vibrant, high-resolution designs onto specialty fabrics that DTG can’t handle—like fleece, nylon, polyester, and blended textiles. It’s ideal for:
✅ Performance wear and activewear
✅ Fleece hoodies and jackets
✅ Rainwear, tote bags, and nylon pouches
✅ Branded uniforms and event gear
✅ Multi-region merch with technical fabric needs
For best results, follow our DTG file prep guidelines:
✅ Use high-resolution PNGs with transparent backgrounds
✅ Avoid ultra-fine details or gradients that may blur during transfer
✅ Ensure designs are sized to match product dimensions and placement zones
UV Printing at MITE Merch
UV printing lets us apply full-color, high-resolution designs directly onto nonporous surfaces like plastic, glass, acrylic, metal, and coated wood. It’s ideal for tech accessories, drinkware, packaging, and more.
Why choose UV for your custom merch?
✅ Sharp detail and vibrant color — even on textured or curved surfaces
✅ Instant curing = faster production with zero smudging
✅ Durable finish for everyday-use items
✅ Slightly raised texture adds a premium, tactile feel
✅ Works on phone cases, mugs, pens, power banks, glassware, and more
For best results, follow our DTG file prep guidelines:
✅ Use vector or high-resolution raster files (300 DPI recommended)
✅ Avoid gradients or ultra-fine lines that may not render cleanly
✅ Ensure artwork fits the product’s printable surface area and shape
