At Crowns and Thorns, every piece of fabric carries a message of faith and we take just as much care in how it’s made. Our prints are created using a method called Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing, a modern technique that allows for vibrant, long-lasting designs on fabric.

What Is DTF Printing?

DTF printing is a process where designs are printed onto a special transfer film using high-quality inks. That film is then coated with a fine adhesive powder and heat-pressed onto the garment. Once applied, the design becomes part of the fabric, not just sitting on top of it. This means the colours stay bright, the print is flexible and smooth to the touch, and it won’t crack or peel like traditional vinyl prints.

“Every Crowns and Thorns each piece is more than just clothing, it’s a declaration of faith made to last.”

Why We Use DTF Printing

We chose DTF because it gives the best balance of durability, detail, and comfort, perfect for apparel that’s meant to be worn daily and shared boldly.

• ✅ Long-lasting prints: Resistant to washing and fading

• 🎨 Vivid colors: Every detail of the design shows clearly

• 👕 Soft finish: The print blends into the fabric, not stiff or heavy

• ✝️ Purpose-driven quality: Every piece reflects the excellence and faith behind our brand

Caring for Your DTF Printed Apparel

To keep your garment looking new:

• Wash inside out on cold

• Avoid bleach or harsh detergents

• Tumble dry low or hang dry

• Do not iron directly on the print

These steps help preserve both the message and the material.

Every Crowns and Thorns piece is more than just clothing, it’s a declaration of faith made to last. Through DTF printing, we ensure every message of hope, love, and strength stays as bold as the day you first wear it.
