Which method suits which garment
The choice depends on the garment, the logo and the quantity. A few rules of thumb:
Embroidery is the polished finish, and it suitsPolo shirts,Caps andsmocks.
DTF printing is the choice when the logo is colorful and detailed, or when you need only a few units, for example Short Sleeve Shirts for a new team.
Screen printing is worthwhile when you order a large quantity of one garment with a logo in a few solid colors, for example shirts for all the employees at a factory or for an event.
You can also customize Sweatshirts & hoodies, Jackets & coats made of fleece and softshell, Kitchen Clothing and medical apparel.
We do not customize shoes, socks, underwear or tights.
