Screen printing
Ink pressed through a mesh screen
A screen is made for each ink color and the ink is pressed onto the garment. The classic
band-tee look — bold, bright, soft to the touch and built to last.
- Best forTees, hoodies and totes in larger runs with a few solid colors
- Keep in mindEach extra ink color adds cost; photos and gradients don’t reproduce well. Minimum 24 pieces.

Embroidery
Thread stitched into the fabric
Your logo is sewn right into the garment with thread. Raised, textured and polished —
the look of company polos, caps and jackets.
- Best forPolos, hats, jackets, fleece and workwear; left-chest logos and names
- Keep in mindPriced by stitch count, not colors. Very fine detail and tiny text can’t be stitched. No minimum.

Direct to film (DTF)
Printed on film, heat pressed on
Your full design is printed onto a special film, then heat pressed onto the garment.
Every color, photo and gradient comes through.
- Best forFull-color art and photos, small or one-off runs, cotton, polyester and blends
- Keep in mindNo charge for extra colors. Sits on top of the fabric, so large solid areas feel less soft. No minimum.
