T-shirt Printing in Prague: 7 steps to avoid costly reprints and hit your event deadline
Branded apparel is a fast, visual way to drive campaign recall - yet rushed orders and unclear files create delays, misprints, and wasted budget.
In EU B2B, branded merch can lift recall up to 85%, but only with tight workflow control and quality checks.
According to Nielsen, strong branding increases recognition and purchase intent, making process discipline essential for textile printing in Prague.

Define scope: outcomes, deadlines, and quantities
Set the brief in writing: target audience, garment types (t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags), sizes split, colorways, and delivery address.
Include event date and buffer time. Align budget with unit economics and minimum order quantities (MOQ).
Pick the right technology: screen, DTF, DTG, embroidery
- Screen printing: best for solid colors, large runs, lowest cost per unit; precise Pantone matching.
- DTF transfer: flexible for complex graphics and varied fabrics; fast for small–mid runs.
- DTG: photo‑level detail on 100% cotton; ideal for short runs and personalization.
- Embroidery: premium, durable branding for polos, caps, workwear.
According to the European Textile and Apparel sector reports, durability and wash resistance drive repeat wear and visibility - choose tech based on fabric, detail, and lifecycle.
File prep and color management: error‑proof assets
Provide vector artwork (AI, PDF, SVG) with outlined fonts, plus a 300 DPI raster fallback.
Supply Pantone codes for brand colors and a print‑ready mockup: placement, size in cm, front/back, sleeve.
Include wash‑care expectations. This reduces revision cycles and ensures consistent textile prints with high quality for B2B teams.
Quality control: blanks, test prints, and approvals
Request approved blank samples (brand and fabric weight), then a pre‑production proof: strike‑off or sample photo under neutral light.
Verify stitch count for embroidery, curing for screen prints, and edge quality for DTF.
EU buyers value traceability and compliant production; Oeko‑Tex/REACH compliance signals material safety and professional standards.
Logistics: lead times, split shipments, and EU compliance
Plan realistic timelines: artwork (1–2 days), sampling (2–5), production (5–12), shipping (1–3 in CZ/EU).
Maintain documentation: invoices, codes for cross‑border EU moves, and care labels.
