San Antonio's Go-To Source for Custom DTF Shirts

Whether you're planning a family cruise, a birthday bash, a memorial gathering, or a group event, custom shirts bring everyone together — and LuxPort Print Co makes it easy to get them done right here in San Antonio, Texas. We use Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing, one of the most vibrant and durable methods available today, to bring your design to life on any garment.

Here's exactly what to expect when you place an order with us.


Step 1: Choose Your Design

Start by deciding on your artwork. You can:

  • Upload your own design (PNG or PDF with transparent background preferred)
  • Request a custom design from our team — just share your theme, colors, and any text you'd like included
  • Browse our pre-made templates for popular cruise and group event styles

Not sure where to start? Our team is happy to guide you. Just reach out and we'll help you nail the look.


Step 2: Select Your Garments & Sizes

Tell us what you need:

  • Shirt style — unisex tees, tanks, long sleeves, hoodies, and more
  • Sizes — we accommodate all sizes from youth XS to adult 5XL
  • Colors — DTF prints beautifully on both light and dark fabrics
  • Quantity — the more you order, the better the value. Group orders of 10+ shirts are our specialty.

Step 3: Approve Your Proof

Before we print a single shirt, we'll send you a digital proof — a mockup showing exactly how your design will look on the garment. This is your chance to:

  • Confirm placement and sizing of the print
  • Review colors and text
  • Request any final tweaks

We don't move forward until you give us the green light. Your satisfaction is the priority.


Step 4: We Print & Quality Check

Once your proof is approved, our team gets to work. Using our DTF process, we print your design onto a special film, then heat-press it onto each garment with precision. Every shirt goes through a quality check before it's packed up.

DTF prints are known for their:

  • Bright, full-color detail — even on dark fabrics
  • Soft feel that doesn't crack or peel
  • Long-lasting durability through repeated washes

Step 5: Pickup or Shipping

We're based in San Antonio, Texas, so local customers can arrange a convenient pickup. We also ship nationwide — perfect for cruise groups spread across different cities.

  • Local pickup: Available by appointment in San Antonio
  • Nationwide shipping: Orders are shipped via USPS or UPS with tracking provided

What's the Timeline?

Here's our standard production schedule from the moment your order is confirmed and proof is approved:

  • Design proof: 1–2 business days after order placement
  • Production: 5–10 business days after proof approval
  • Shipping: 2–5 business days depending on your location

Total estimated time: 2–3 weeks from order to delivery.

Need it faster? Ask us about rush production options — we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline.


Tips for a Smooth Order

  • 📅 Order early — especially for cruises and events. We recommend placing your order at least 3–4 weeks before your event date.
  • 🎨 Send high-resolution artwork — the better the file, the sharper the print.
  • 👕 Double-check your size list — once shirts are printed, size changes aren't possible.
  • 📦 Order a few extras — it's always smart to have a couple of backup shirts for last-minute additions to your group.
