Print Quality

Print Methods

DTG (Direct-to-Garment) — Kornit and Brother machines DTF (Direct to Film)

Materials

Tapstitch uses premium heavyweight blanks ranging from 230 GSM to 430 GSM — significantly heavier than typical POD garments. Fabrics include 100% cotton, fleece, snow-washed cotton, and technical sportswear materials.

Colour Accuracy

DTG printing with Kornit machines produces vibrant, accurate colours on both light and dark fabrics. DTF is used where extra durability or fabric compatibility is required. Sellers are encouraged to order samples to validate colour reproduction against their design files.

Durability

Heavyweight blanks and professional-grade DTG/DTF printing deliver above-average wash durability. Biodegradable inks are used throughout, and eco-friendly washing and dyeing processes are part of the production workflow.

Tools & Features

Mockup Generator

Tapstitch includes an online design and mockup tool accessible from your account. Reviewers note the tool is functional but basic — advanced brand designers may prefer to create mockups externally using Photoshop or similar software. Multiple print zones are supported, including front, back, sleeves, and inner neck areas.

Branding Options

Custom printed neck labels
Branded shipping address
Custom insert cards (partially rolled out)
Hang tags (in development)
Branded packaging bags (in development)

White Label

All orders ship with full white-label delivery — no Tapstitch branding is visible to your customers. Custom printed neck labels replace generic tags with your own brand name, adding perceived value. A branded shipping address is supported. Hang tags and full branded packaging are currently in development.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Tapstitch different from other print-on-demand providers?

Tapstitch focuses exclusively on premium fashion apparel, unlike broad-catalogue POD providers. It offers heavyweight blanks from 250–430 GSM (standard POD tees are typically 150–180 GSM), professional Kornit and Brother DTG/DTF printing, custom neck labels, large print areas, and full white-label delivery — all with no monthly subscription or minimum orders.

How do I connect my Shopify store to Tapstitch?

Install the Tapstitch app directly from the Shopify App Store (it's free). Once installed, sign in to your Tapstitch account, browse the product catalogue, upload your designs, and publish listings to your Shopify storefront. Orders placed in your store are automatically routed to Tapstitch for production and fulfilment.

Does Tapstitch integrate with Etsy?

Yes. Tapstitch supports Etsy integration, allowing you to publish products and fulfil orders automatically. Log in to your Tapstitch account, connect your Etsy shop from the integrations panel, and your listings will sync. When a sale is made on Etsy, Tapstitch handles production and shipping under your brand name.

How long does production and shipping take?

Production typically takes 2–4 business days. After production, estimated shipping times are: USA — 5–7 business days; Canada — 7–14 business days; UK and Europe — 10–21 business days; Australia — 12–25 business days. US customers can expect total delivery in roughly 7–11 business days end-to-end.

Does Tapstitch support custom branding and white-label delivery?

Yes. Tapstitch ships all orders with full white-label delivery — no Tapstitch branding appears on the package or inside the garment. Custom printed neck labels replace generic tags with your brand name. A branded return address is also supported. Hang tags and branded packaging bags are currently in development.

What print methods does Tapstitch use?

Tapstitch uses two professional-grade methods: DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing on industry-leading Kornit and Brother machines using biodegradable inks, and DTF (Direct to Film) for fabrics and colours that require extra durability or compatibility. Both methods produce sharp colour reproduction on light and dark fabrics.

Is there a minimum order quantity or a subscription fee?

No. Tapstitch operates on a pay-per-order model with no minimum order quantities and no monthly subscription fees. You can order a single garment or a thousand — pricing per item remains the same. You only pay for the blank, printing, optional add-ons, and shipping when an order is placed.

What products does Tapstitch offer?

Tapstitch's catalogue focuses on premium fashion apparel with 100+ garments across t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, long-sleeve shirts, polo shirts, tank tops, sweatpants, sportswear (yoga leggings, sports bras, soccer jerseys), and kids' clothing. There are no non-apparel products such as mugs, phone cases, or wall art.

How does Tapstitch pricing work, and what are example costs?

You pay for the blank garment, printing, and shipping per order. Example base costs: Essential Cotton T-Shirt from $5.99, Snow Washed Oversized T-Shirt from $9.99, Oversize Fleeced Hoodie from $14.92, Essential Heavyweight Hoodie from $22.99. A one-side print costs approximately $5.00 and a custom neck label approximately $1.50. US shipping starts at $5.50 for the first item, then $2.00 per additional item in the same order.

Can I order samples before listing products in my store?

Yes. Because there are no minimum order quantities, you can order individual sample garments at the standard base price. Tapstitch strongly recommends ordering samples to check fabric weight, print quality, and colour accuracy in person before publishing products to your store.

Does Tapstitch ship internationally?

Yes. Tapstitch ships globally. US orders are fulfilled from the Los Angeles facility for faster domestic delivery. International orders may be routed through the Guangzhou, China facility, which can result in longer transit times — particularly to Australia and parts of Europe. Factor these timelines into your customer communications and product descriptions.

How does the Tapstitch affiliate programme work?

Tapstitch's affiliate programme pays a 10% commission on every order placed by your referrals, and this commission recurs for a full 12 months per referred customer. Affiliates receive a unique referral link with a 90-day cookie window. Commissions are paid monthly via PayPal or Stripe, typically within 15–30 days after the month ends. The programme is free to join with no contract, and is managed via PartnerStack. Sign up at tapstitch.com/affiliate.
