Decorating techniques


Embroidery

- Professional and clean look

- Hundreds of thread colors

- Specialty threads available such as Metallic, Neon, Super Twist, Fire Fighter (flame resistant)...
​
- Minimum order, 1 piece

Silk Screen

- Cost Effective

- Spot, PMS or CMYK Imprint

- Light colored inks printing on dark garments would need a White under base

​- Different types of ink to add uniqueness are Water-Based inks, Metallic inks, Discharge inks, Suede (Puffy) inks...

​ - Minimum order, 12 pieces

Dye Sublimation

- Great for full color and lots of detail (photos)

​- 100% Polyester only

- Light Colored Garments (White, if White is in the imprint)

- Often used for cycling and running shirts because you cannot feel the imprint on the garment.


- The imprint/image is printed on a transfer sheet and applied to the garment with heat and pressure, which turns the transfer inks to a dye which is absorbed by the fabric.

- Minimum order, 1 peice

Digital direct

- Great for full color designs in small quantities

- Must be on 100% Cotton Garments

- This is a good alternative to low quantity silk screen with many colors or a full color design.

- Unlike other decorators, we can incorporate White into your design. 

-  Minimum order, 1 piece



Laser Etch

- An interesting look on 100% Synthetic Garments

- The laser melts the lop layer of fabric, darkening the synthetic fibers generating a subtle effect. 

- Dark colored fabrics should be avoided.

- Polyester Fleece gives a nice 3-D outcome when the top surface fibers are melted away to create a multi layered design.

​- Minimum order, 

applique

- Take your traditional embroidery and add a layer of fabric

- Great with larger imprint areas and traditional embroidery would be cost prohibitive 

- Creates a look for high perceived value

- Layer of additional fabric can be on top of the surface of the garment or below the garment with a cut away from the surface fabric.

- Generally a higher price point decorating technique

- Minimum order, 12 pieces

STAIN DYE PRINTING

- Must be 100% cotton

​
- We dye your image over an entire garment (including seams) or just 1 smaller location

- This is a water based dye so it has an extrememely soft feel and look

- More environmentally friendly than other oil based inks typically used in silk screening

- Can make a great corporate look or even a trendy shirt for university campuses

- Minimum order, 72 pieces

Heat transfer

- Heat transfer is the process of applying heat-applied materials with a heat press.

- Heat-applied materials contain a heat-sensitive adhesive on one side so when heat is applied, it adheres

- Great for full color images and lower quantity orders

- We offer 8-10" #'s for uniforms and stock 2" letters in a variety of colors


- Can be applied on most any fabric

​- Minimum order, 1 piece
