Our Printing Method: Eco-Friendly DTG at Urban Sheep

At Urban Sheep, we believe in conscious choices—in everything we do, including how we bring your designs to life.

That’s why we’ve chosen Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing, a technology that perfectly aligns with our eco-friendly values and commitment to quality.

It’s more than just a printing method. It’s a philosophy of care for the planet and attention to detail in every piece we create.

 

 

Why DTG? Why We Chose It for Urban Sheep

1. Eco-Friendly Inks

We only use water-based, biodegradable inks that are gentle on the environment and safe for people.

Unlike traditional screen printing, DTG doesn’t require harsh chemicals or excess water, significantly reducing environmental impact.

2. Soft Feel and Breathability

DTG prints are absorbed directly into the cotton fibers of the fabric.

This means the print doesn’t sit on top of the garment—it becomes part of it. The result?

• A soft, breathable finish

• No heavy or plastic-like texture

• Comfortable wear, every time

3. Rich, Vibrant Colors & Intricate Detail

DTG technology allows for high-resolution, sharp designs with vibrant color.

It captures fine details beautifully, making it ideal for graphics that need depth, complexity, and clarity.

4. Sustainable & Made to Order

We print every garment on demand—no mass production, no wasted inventory.

This minimizes excess production and energy use, aligning with our zero overproduction philosophy.

 

 

How to Care for Your DTG Print


We want your Urban Sheep pieces to stay as beautiful and fresh as the day they were made.

Proper care plays a huge role in extending the life of your garment and its print.

No print—no matter how high-quality—will last if treated carelessly.

Here’s how you can keep your item looking its best:


Washing

• Machine wash cold at 30°C / 86°F, on a gentle cycle

• Wash inside out to protect the print

• Avoid harsh detergents or bleach

• Wash with similar colors


Drying

• Tumble dry low or, better yet, air dry to prevent cracking or fading

• Do not wring out or twist the fabric aggressively


Ironing

• Iron inside out on low heat

• Avoid ironing directly over the print


Other Tips

• Do not dry clean

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use

 

 

Why Proper Care Matters

DTG prints are delicate works of art. While they’re made with advanced technology and quality materials, they’re still textile prints, and their longevity depends on how they’re treated.

When you follow our simple care instructions, your piece will stay vibrant and soft for a long time.

We craft with intention, and we hope you’ll care with intention too.
