Screen printing, DTF, DTG, digital printing, stickers and campaign materials. Brandix picks the right print technique for your logo, substrate and order quantity — delivered across Finland.
Printing is the umbrella term for every technique used to transfer an image or text onto fabric, paper, plastic or another substrate. The right technique depends on three things: what you print on, what you print and how many pieces. The wrong choice drives up cost or shortens service life — that is why we always review the order at the technique level before sending a quote.
Brandix uses three primary textile printing techniques: screen printing (serigraphy) for large runs, DTF transfers for small batches and complex multi-color logos, and DTG direct-to-garment printing for photo-quality one-offs. Alongside these, our digital press produces posters, flyers, roll-ups, business cards and other campaign materials, and our cutting plotters produce vinyl and paper stickers. Embroidery (machine embroidery) is done under the same roof in our own workshop — so we can recommend the right technique based on your logo, product and order quantity.
Screen printing is the most cost-effective choice for runs of 50+ shirts where the same logo repeats in a few spot colors — event shirts and campaign batches are the classic use case. DTF printing suits small batches, multi-color logos and almost any substrate — whether a single sample shirt or a hundred-piece work shirt run. DTG produces a photo-quality, soft-hand result on cotton shirts when every piece needs a unique image. Embroidery remains the top pick when you want the most durable, premium-feel logo on workwear and corporate wear — see our embroidery page for details.
We print and ship across Finland — Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Tampere, Turku, Oulu, Jyväskylä, Lahti and Kuopio are on our standard routes. Production is in Finland, which shortens lead times and keeps quality control in-house.
Screen printing — the most cost-effective technique for large runs (50+ pieces)
DTF printing — multi-color, flexible, works on almost any substrate
DTG — photo-quality direct-to-garment printing for one-offs
Digital printing — posters, flyers, roll-ups, business cards, forms
Stickers and labels — vinyl, paper, transport-grade specialty materials
In-house finishing — die-cutting, lamination, foil stamping, individual packing
When the order is 50+ shirts with the same print, screen printing (serigraphy) is almost always the cheapest and most durable option. We produce a separate screen for each color, and the actual print run moves fast through the press. This is the default technique for event shirts, summer festivals, festival crew and promo batches.
DTF (Direct to Film) is a technique where the image is printed onto a special film, adhesive powder is added, and the transfer is heat-pressed onto the product. The advantage: you can print one shirt as cost-effectively as a hundred, and color count does not raise the price. Ideal for small corporate logos, work shirts, team player numbers and pilot runs before screen printing.
A DTG printer sprays water-based ink directly into the fabric fibers, much like an inkjet printer onto paper. The result is a soft hand that blends into the fabric. We use DTG for one-offs, gift shirts and print-on-demand projects where every shirt carries a different image.
Our digital press produces campaign materials from the same source. From launch kits to trade show collateral — printing, finishing and packing as a single supply chain. Typical lead time is 3–5 business days from artwork approval.
Vinyl stickers for transport durability, paper labels for product packaging, custom die-cut logo decals for windows. We cut to shape down to the millimeter and deliver either as pre-cut sheets or on a roll.
Retail-ready boxes, wrap labels, inner packaging and branded tissue paper. Die-cutting, lamination, foil stamping and spot-UV varnishing are handled in our own finishing department, so a fully packed-ready product is possible.
Tell us the product, quantity, number of colors and desired delivery date. We recommend the technique together — often the same logo runs screen-printed for the large main batch and DTF for later small replenishments. The right technique choice can cut costs in half.
The best artwork format is vector graphics (AI, EPS, PDF). For screen printing we specify PMS colors precisely; DTF and DTG support full-color images (RGB/CMYK). A print-ready file is typically 300 dpi with bleed extending beyond the print size.
For a new logo or brand color we produce a digital proof for approval. When needed we produce a physical sample on the actual substrate — especially with screen printing, where screens are made to the proof and cannot be altered during production.
In screen printing we make the screens (one per color), mix inks and run the batch. In DTF the film is printed and heat-pressed onto each piece. In DTG the printer prints directly onto the shirt. Every stage is visually inspected, and loose thread ends or film residue are cleaned off.
Products are inspected, counted and packed to order — loose, folded in pairs or polybagged for end-user distribution. Delivery via Matkahuolto, Posti or the client’s own logistics contract.

Screen printing is cheaper at scale, DTF is cheaper for small batches. Rough guide: under 30 pieces with the same print, DTF wins; between 30–100 pieces they are roughly even; above 100 pieces screen printing is clearly cheaper per unit. A large share of the screen printing cost is the one-off screens — the larger the run, the better that fixed cost is amortized.
In screen printing, ink is pushed through a silk mesh onto the fabric, one screen per color — which is why low-color logos are cost-effective and photographs are not feasible. In DTF printing, the image is first printed onto a special film and transferred onto the textile with a heat press — color count does not raise the price and it works on almost any fabric, including dark ones. In DTG printing, ink is sprayed directly into the fabric like an inkjet onto paper — the result is soft and blends into the fabric, but the technique generally requires cotton. Wash durability is typically 50–80 wash cycles for screen printing, 40–60 for DTF and 30–50 for DTG when the garment is cared for correctly.
DTF handles washing and wear well, typically 40–60 wash cycles without visible degradation. Screen printing, done right, lasts longer — 50–80 washes. Practical differences usually only show after a couple of years of use — for standard workwear and corporate wear use, both are durable enough.
Yes — the best technique for photographs is DTG (on 100% cotton) or DTF (on any material). Screen printing is not suited to photographs because it produces clean spot colors, not gradients. With DTG the photograph blends into the fabric; with DTF it stays as a sharp film on the surface.
Yes. Our digital press produces posters, flyers, roll-ups, business cards, forms and other paper and card products. Our sticker plotters cut vinyl and paper stickers for packaging, windows and product signage. For packaging materials we produce branded boxes, wrap labels and inner packaging.
The MOQ for DTF and DTG printing is 1 piece. For screen printing the sensible minimum is 30–50 pieces, because below that the one-off screen costs push the per-piece price too high. Digital printing (posters, flyers) also has a minimum of 1 piece.
DTG orders ship in 1–3 business days, DTF in 2–5 business days and screen printing in 5–10 business days due to screen production. Reorders where files and screens are already on file are typically 2–3 business days faster.
Yes, we do this regularly. For example: the first 300-shirt campaign is screen-printed, and later 20–50-piece replenishments are run with DTF. Colors are calibrated close to each other so differences are not visible side by side. This is called hybrid printing and is a cost-effective way to serve accounts where order cadence varies.
Either works. If you have a finished logo or campaign image, send it over and we will check print readiness. If artwork is missing we can produce the layout and vectorization — this is billed by the hour or as a fixed package price.
