How to Choose the Right Material for Your Custom Printed Product
Material isn't just about appearance — it determines adhesion, durability, texture, and how the item should be cared for.
◆ Ask Before Choosing
• Will it be used indoors or outdoors?
• Is the surface hard or fabric?
• Will it be exposed to water or friction?
• Is the use temporary or repeated?
• What's the size and quantity?
◆ Examples
DTF suits clothing, UV DTF suits smooth hard surfaces, stickers suit packaging, and acrylic and wood suit cutting and engraving depending on the use.
