DTG printing
Planning Small-Batch DTG Orders Without Losing Track
Small-batch efficiency comes from controlling artwork, garment identity and handling queues. Printing speed is only one part of the order cycle.
Create one job record
Link the customer approval, artwork revision, garment style, size and placement. Separate similar-looking orders with clear labels. Confirm whether each job needs a sample and avoid introducing an unapproved blank to complete a missing size.
Balance preparation and finishing
Time the actual preparation, loading, printing and finishing steps. Allocate space for work in progress and keep inspected garments separate from unfinished ones. Review late orders by stage so additional equipment addresses the real constraint rather than a guessed one.
Production checklist
Use these checkpoints to prepare a trial or discuss the configuration with your supplier. Record the result for each item before approving a production change.
- Artwork-to-order traceability
- Blank and placement confirmation
- Work-in-progress separation
- Bottleneck timing
Should every small order use a different print preset?
No. Group compatible work around validated presets while keeping customer and garment identification separate. Change settings only for a documented production reason.
