240 Express
Our contracted print partner for DuraSoft™ decoration — soft, durable prints on virtually any material, at the lowest pricing of any major POD provider, managed end to end inside MyDesigns.
240 Express overview
MyDesigns does not run its own factories. We integrate with established print providers under dedicated contracts and offer their on-demand printing to you through MyDesigns, with ordering, tracking, and support handled in one place. 240 Express is one of those partners, and the one that produces DuraSoft™ prints.
When an order comes in, MyDesigns routes it automatically to 240 Express, sends them the print files, and tracks production and shipping back into your order dashboard. Production runs 2–3 days.
- Better pricing
- The contract is negotiated directly with 240 Express, so you get competitive production and shipping costs without an extra platform marking them up.
- Vetted quality
- We cherry-pick every print partner and every product we integrate, holding them to our own quality standards rather than listing whatever is available.
- Support in one place
- Because the relationship is ours, we handle communication with 240 Express — from catalog to production to order issues — instead of pointing you to an external platform's support.
- No extra accounts
- You don't need to register with or connect to 240 Express yourself. The integration is already in place; you simply choose the product.
What DuraSoft™ is
DuraSoft™ is 240Express's proprietary decoration process. It is engineered to deliver what used to be a trade-off: the soft hand feel of DTG with the wash durability of screen printing, on virtually any material.
If you've tried DTF before, you know the story — thick, rubbery prints that crack after ten washes. That's commodity DTF, and it's why 240Express built something better. Precision-controlled bonding at industrial scale produces exceptionally soft, flexible prints, without the cracking, stiffness, or heavy feel of commodity DTF.
What DuraSoft delivers
- Soft, elastic prints
- Flexible prints that stretch with the fabric and bounce back. Buyers can't tell it's a transfer.
- Built to outlast the garment
- Resists cracking and fading wash after wash. Fewer refunds, better reviews, more repeat buyers.
- Any material, any color garment
- Cotton, polyester, nylon, blends, fleece, even leather — with vivid, high-contrast color on lights and darks. DTG can't say that.
- Made for detailed designs
- Complex, colorful, high-detail artwork is exactly what DuraSoft renders best.
