    Even worse when the design is that plasticky kind of decal rather than the one that becomes more part of the fabric

    Basically makes the shirt unusable in summer

      These are known as Direct to Film or DTF (lol). They are quite literally a printed plastic sheet that’s melted to the shirt. Easiest way to check for this is to crease the shirt on the design. Screenprinted will reveal the shirt color underneath where DTF will be a solid sheet.
