Which finishing technique suits Berlin projects?
Berlin's economy is shaped by tech start-ups, the creative industries, festival culture and an active club scene. These occasions drive the choice of printing process:
- Digital printing (DTG) — photo quality from one piece. Ideal for tech-startup hackathon shirts with complex logos and colour gradients.
- Screen printing — from 50 pieces, vivid colours, very durable. First choice for festival crews, marathon volunteers and large club orders.
- Embroidery — high-quality logos on polos and workwear. For Berlin advertising agencies, coworking spaces and architecture studios that need a premium look.
- DTF printing — versatile on every fabric. Popular with Berlin streetwear crews and small runs with photo motifs.
