Why DTG Printing Outlasts Screen Printing – And How You Can Support Meadows Merchandise

At MeadowsMerchandise.com, we’re proud to offer apparel that combines premium quality, durability, and sustainable production. Here’s why Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing is the best choice, how it compares to other methods, and how you can help us grow—even without spending a dime.

DTG Printing That Lasts – Tested by Our Community

We don’t just sell these shirts—we wear them every day. Many of us have worn our designs daily, washed them over and over, and here’s the truth:

Even when we don’t follow the recommended care instructions (cold water, gentle cycle), months later, the colors are still bright and the prints haven’t faded.

Ask anyone you see wearing one of our designs—they’ll tell you the same thing. That’s the power of DTG printing combined with premium fabrics.

Why DTG Beats Screen Printing

Screen printing is popular, but it has drawbacks:

Thick ink layers often crack and peel after repeated washes.

Limited color detail compared to DTG.

DTG printing, on the other hand:

Bonds ink directly into the fibers for a soft, durable finish.

Handles full-color, detailed designs beautifully.

Lasts through countless washes without losing vibrancy.

We also offer sublimation for all-over prints and embroidery for a textured, premium look—but for everyday wear, DTG is king.

Support Without Spending a Dime

If you can’t buy today, you can still help us grow:

Like, share, and comment on our posts. Engagement keeps us visible.

Share one post a day or even every other day—it makes a huge difference.

Remember: Our stock never runs out. We use an on-demand dropshipping model, so as long as the vendor has the shirt and ink, your order is printed fresh and shipped straight to your door.

Where Your Money Goes

Every purchase supports the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe. All profits go directly into programs that matter—education, cultural preservation, youth activities, and more.
