Apparel People Want to Wear

Start With a Better Shirt


A printed shirt represents your business, event, organization, or brand long after it leaves the shop. That is why we focus on the complete product—not only the artwork. Fabric weight, fit, softness, color, print location, and decoration method all affect the final result.

Satellite PrintLab produces custom shirts for Austin businesses, restaurants, musicians, events, schools, teams, creators, and growing merchandise brands. We support both smaller projects and larger production runs.

Choose the Right Production Method

Custom Shirt Printing Options


Not every design, garment, or quantity should be printed the same way. We recommend the process that best supports the artwork and how the shirt will be used.

01

Direct to Garment Printing

DTG prints detailed artwork directly onto compatible garments. It is a strong choice for soft-feel, full-color designs and shorter production runs.

  • Detailed artwork
  • Full-color graphics
  • Soft hand feel
  • Great for cotton garments
02

Direct to Film Printing

DTF uses a printed transfer to create bright, flexible designs across a wider variety of fabrics, garment colors, and print locations.

  • Cotton and blends
  • Polyester apparel
  • Bright color reproduction
  • Versatile placement options
03

Specialty Transfers

Specialty transfer options can solve unusual placement, fabric, finish, or production needs when a standard print method is not the best fit.

  • Unique print locations
  • Performance apparel
  • Specialty finishes
  • Project-specific solutions

Made in Our Austin Facility

Production Support From Artwork to Finished Shirt


Good printing starts before the garment reaches the machine. We review the artwork, garment, size, placement, color requirements, and quantity so production begins with a clear plan.
