DTF printing

What is DTF printing?

Direct-to-film printing transfers a printed design from film onto a garment using heat. It is one of the methods offered by Selangor Print for custom T-shirts and uniforms.

When should I consider DTF instead of silkscreen?

DTF is worth considering for detailed, multicolour artwork or designs with gradients. Compare it with silkscreen using your actual quantity, garment, artwork size and print positions; there is no single quantity at which one method is always cheaper.

Can DTF be used on my chosen cotton or microfiber shirt?

Compatibility depends on the exact fabric, finish and garment construction. Send the brand and model, or a garment specification, with your artwork so our team can check suitability before quoting.

Will a large DTF design affect how the shirt feels?

A large solid transfer covers more fabric and can feel different from a small logo. Discuss print dimensions and placement alongside comfort, especially for staff shirts worn for long hours.

What should I send for a DTF quotation?

Send your artwork, total quantity, size breakdown, preferred shirt model and colour, print positions and approximate dimensions. Include the required date and delivery postcode so the enquiry can be assessed as a complete job.

Silkscreen printing

What is silkscreen printing?

Silkscreen printing applies ink through a prepared screen onto the garment. It is commonly considered for repeated designs with defined colours, and is one of Selangor Print’s apparel decoration methods.

Is silkscreen suitable for company event T-shirts?

It can be suitable when many shirts use the same design. Artwork colours, print positions, garment material and quantity affect the recommendation and quotation. Send the design before deciding on the method.

How do artwork colours affect a silkscreen quote?

Separate colours can require separate screen preparation and printing steps. The number of colours, positions and garments therefore matters. Compare quotations using the same artwork and garment specification.

Can silkscreen reproduce photographs or gradients?

Photographs and gradients need artwork assessment rather than a blanket yes or no. Our team can review your design and discuss whether silkscreen or another method better suits the intended result.

Can every shirt have a different name with silkscreen?

Silkscreen is designed around repeated artwork. If each shirt needs a different name or number, include that requirement in your enquiry so the team can assess a suitable personalisation method and its cost.

Embroidery

What is the difference between embroidery and printing?

Embroidery forms the design with stitches rather than applying a printed graphic. It is often considered for compact logos on corporate polos and work shirts; the garment and logo must suit the stitch work.

Can you embroider my company logo?

Selangor Print offers embroidery. Send your logo and preferred garment for review. Fine lettering, thin lines, gradients and dense filled areas may need adaptation before the final size and approach can be confirmed.

Why does logo size affect embroidery cost?

Logo dimensions, detail and filled areas influence the stitching work. Quantity, embroidery positions and artwork preparation also matter, so a quotation needs more information than the number of shirts alone.

Is embroidery suitable for lightweight microfiber polos?

Suitability depends on the specific fabric and logo. Dense or large embroidery can affect the appearance and feel of a lightweight garment. Ask the team to assess the garment and logo together.

What should I check before approving embroidered uniforms?

Check the garment model and colour, size breakdown, logo spelling, embroidery dimensions, placement and thread-colour reference. Ask which proof or sample options are available and whether they affect cost or timing.

Corporate uniforms and materials

How do I choose between cotton and microfiber uniforms?

Start with the job: indoor or outdoor use, movement, appearance and comfort. Cotton and microfiber garments vary by construction and finish, so compare the actual model specifications and size charts rather than relying on the fabric name alone.

Should our company choose polo shirts or round-neck T-shirts?

Polos can suit a more structured team appearance, while round-neck T-shirts are often considered for events and casual staff wear. Match the garment to the wearer’s role, budget and branding requirements.

Can different departments use different garments with the same branding?

You can request a coordinated proposal using different garment models for different roles. Share each department’s quantities and requirements; stock, decoration compatibility and pricing must be checked for the selected items.

How should we collect staff sizes?

Use the size chart for the exact garment model. Keep one checked list showing the quantity for each size, and do not assume a size label fits the same across brands or cuts.

What information should we keep for repeat uniform orders?

Keep the garment brand and model, colour, size chart, approved artwork, logo dimensions and placement reference. Reconfirm stock and specifications for each reorder because availability and garment ranges can change.

Paper printing

What should I send for a paper-printing quotation?

State the item, finished size, quantity, single- or double-sided printing, preferred paper and finishing. Include the artwork, required date and delivery postcode. For booklets, also state page count and binding preference.

How do I choose paper for flyers, booklets or business cards?

Choose according to how the item will be used: handed out, written on, folded or handled repeatedly. Paper weight and finish affect feel and appearance. Ask which stocks suit your job and are available before finalising the design.

Should I request digital or offset paper printing?

The appropriate process depends on quantity, size, stock, colour requirements, finishing and schedule. Ask for a recommendation against your full specification rather than assuming a fixed quantity always makes one process cheaper.

What artwork checks matter for paper printing?

Confirm the final trim size, image quality, fonts, colour expectations, bleed and safe area. Ask for the requirements for your particular product before exporting the final file, especially for folding or binding.

Can you guarantee same-day or 30-minute paper printing?

No fixed turnaround is promised here. Send the actual artwork, quantity, stock, finishing and required collection or arrival time. Ask the team to confirm feasibility and the agreed schedule before placing the order.

MOQ and pricing

What is the minimum order quantity?

There is no single MOQ stated here for every garment and printing method. Send your quantity, design and preferred product so the team can confirm the applicable minimum and available options for that job.

What affects the total price of a printing order?

The base product, quantity, artwork size and colours, print positions, decoration method and finishing affect the quote. Ask whether artwork preparation, packing, delivery and any other applicable charges are included.

Artwork preparation

Can I send a logo from WhatsApp or a screenshot?

You can send it for an initial review, but a compressed image may not contain enough detail for production. Supply the original artwork when available; the team can advise what is needed for the intended print size.

What should I check before approving artwork?

Check spelling, phone numbers, dates, logo proportions, print dimensions, placement and any individual names or numbers. Confirm the garment or paper specification too. Ask how later changes would affect cost and timing before approving.

Delivery, collection and ordering

Do you accept enquiries from businesses across Selangor and Klang Valley?

Yes. Selangor Print accepts printing and uniform enquiries from businesses in Selangor and Klang Valley, including Shah Alam, Klang, Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya and Kuala Lumpur. Confirm delivery arrangements for the exact postcode.

Can I collect an order instead of arranging delivery?

Self-collection is listed as an option on the website. Confirm the collection point, readiness and collection arrangements with the team for your particular order before travelling. See our contact page for business contact details.

How early should I place an order?

Allow for product availability, artwork checks and approval, production, finishing and delivery. Share your required arrival date at the start and ask for an order-specific schedule; sending an enquiry does not confirm a delivery deadline.
