Why DTG should be your go-to solution for the small jobs that lead to bigger opportunities.
Small Orders, Big Opportunity
Maybe it’s a giveaway. Maybe it’s a one-off reorder. Maybe it’s a quick test run for a new design. Maybe it’s that one shirt someone forgot to include in the original order. Or maybe it’s just, “We need one more.” Regardless of the reason, these jobs are time-sensitive, brand-critical, and full of future potential.
This is where DTG becomes more than just an alternative — it becomes an advantage.
What You’re Missing When You Say No
The ability to say yes — confidently, quickly, and without sacrificing quality — is what sets successful distributors apart. DTG gives you that power. You’re not just solving a production problem; you’re meeting your clients where they are: moving fast, ordering small, and expecting premium results every time.
Unlike DTF — which certainly has its uses — DTG produces a finish that both looks and feels like screen printing. It delivers a soft hand and vibrant color that elevate even the smallest orders to retail quality. That’s the difference your clients notice — and why they keep coming back.
This isn’t a fallback option. It’s a forward-thinking solution that helps you win the small orders today and the long-term business tomorrow.

Why It Works in the Real World
DTG is a powerful solution for modern businesses and creators who can’t afford to wait on traditional production. Whether they’re working under tight deadlines, launching a time-sensitive campaign, or exploring a new product idea, your clients need a decoration method that’s as agile as they are.
🔵 Companies running giveaways, contests, or promos — Short-run merch for events and activations, delivered on-brand and on time.
🔵 Organizations needing samples — Rapid prototyping, campaign testing, or corporate approvals without long lead times.
🔵 Internal marketing teams producing short-term or regional campaigns — Localized or seasonal designs, done fast.
🔵 Businesses reordering uniforms or event tees in small quantities — Keep pace with hiring, team changes, or last-minute needs.
🔵 Handle last-minute changes or additions — No setup = lower stress and more flexibility.
DTG doesn’t replace your core screen printing work — it expands your offering and strengthens your customer relationships.
Rethinking the Value of Small Orders
You don’t have to choose between speed and quality. Blue Moon’s DTG program gives you both — with room for profit.
And those “small” orders? They’re not small at all when you look at the big picture:
🔵 They build trust — Clients remember when you say yes to the job no one else wanted.
🔵 They lead to bigger things — A 12-piece test run becomes a 500-piece rollout when it performs.
🔵 They keep clients coming back — Reorders, expansions, new hires — all flow through the same fast, flexible channel.
🔵 They help you stay sticky — The more value you offer, the harder it is for clients to leave.
Saying yes to the little jobs isn’t a nuisance — it’s a long-term growth strategy.
Let us help you turn “too small” into “just right.”
