How We Decorate

Decoration Methods

Every order is different — we match your project to the right process based on your design, quantity, and goals. Here's exactly how we approach each method.

🖨️
Screen Printing
High Volume · Single Color

Screen printing is the gold standard for large runs. We push ink directly through a mesh screen onto your garment — producing sharp, vibrant, long-lasting prints. This method gives you the best cost per piece on high-volume orders with clean, bold designs.

Best for: Single-color designs, orders of 100+ pieces. Perfect for events, company uniforms, and school spirit runs.
🎨
DTF Printing
Full Color · Any Quantity

Direct to Film (DTF) printing uses specialty inks printed onto a transfer film and heat pressed onto your garment with professional industry-level equipment. This is not a simple iron-on — it's a professional process that produces vivid, full-color prints that last. DTF allows us to keep pricing competitive on smaller runs and full-color designs.

Best for: Full-color logos, small to mid-size orders, photo-realistic designs, or any order where screen printing isn't the right fit.
🪡
Embroidery
Professional Stitching · Any Volume

Professional machine embroidery stitched directly into your garment — polos, jackets, hats, aprons, bags, and more. Embroidery adds a premium, elevated look that other methods can't replicate. A one-time $25 digitizing fee converts your logo into a stitch file — once we have it, we use it on every future order at no additional charge.

Best for: Corporate polos, staff uniforms, jackets, hats. Small or large orders. One-time digitizing fee of $25 — yours to keep.
Specialty Heat Transfer
Premium Finishes · Unique Effects

Specialty heat transfer material opens up a world of premium finishes beyond standard print. Think 3D puff vinyl, faux leather, PVC designs, glitter, foil, cut-to-shape patches, and more. If you've seen a finish and wondered how it was done — ask us. We likely do it.

Best for: Brands wanting a premium look, custom patches, 3D puff logos, unique textures, and specialty finishes that stand out on the rack.
