Great question! If you have a t-shirt printing business, clothing supplies (like blank t-shirts, hoodies, etc.) and printing supplies (like DTF film, ink, adhesive powder, etc.) are generally considered Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) or business expenses, depending on how your accounting is set up.
If you're using an accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero, you can typically categorize them under:
Cost of Goods Sold > Supplies or
Expenses > Printing Supplies / Materials
The idea is to keep production-related items (like what you use to make the shirts) separate from things like marketing or office expenses.
For example, when using product of DTGpro the DTF Printers, all the consumables you use (film, powder, ink) would fall under production or printing supply costs—since they're directly tied to your product creation.
That said, it's always good to check with an accountant to make sure it aligns with your local tax laws and business structure.
