Custom Embroidery Services

The benefit of custom embroidery in comparison to other apparel printing services is its durability and life span. Embroidered designs also give custom products an exceptionally high end look.

Embroidery is also great for custom company branding. This may include dress shirts, polos, jackets and other premium garments. When your business wants to make a memorable experience for employees or clients consider using custom embroidered gear.

Direct to Film (DTF) Printing

Ink

  • Special DTF inks designed for garment printing
  • Digitally printed (similar to a desktop printer but for apparel)
  • Lightweight feel on the garment

Print Details

  • High-resolution, full-color designs
  • Perfect for small and large quantity orders
  • Allows for intricate designs and gradients

Apparel Options

  • Works well with a variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, and blends
  • Suitable for both light and dark-colored apparel
  • No minimum order requirement

What is DTF printing?

DTF printing is a new, innovative technology in the garment printing industry. Using specially formulated inks, designs are printed onto a film before being heat transferred onto the garment. This allows for high-resolution, full-color prints with a lightweight feel and exceptional durability.
Unlike DTG printing, DTF can print on a wider range of fabrics and colors, including dark-colored garments. This makes it a versatile choice for all your custom apparel needs.
Whether you are a designer looking to bring your colorful creations to life, a business owner wanting to make a statement with custom-branded clothing, or someone after a unique, one-of-a-kind garment, DTF printing is the perfect solution.

Why Choose DTF?

With DTF, there’s no need to worry about the longevity of your prints. The prints are durable, wash-resistant, and have a soft feel that’s comfortable to wear. Plus, the ability to print intricate designs and gradients allows for endless creative possibilities.
When you’re ready to take your custom apparel to the next level, we’re excited to help with your next DTF printing project!

DTG (Direct To Garment)

Ink

  • Water based inks
  • Digitally printed (like a inkjet printer for t shirts)
  • Comparable weight to screen print

Print Details

  • Photo quality printing
  • Full color designs
  • Great for one-off tees

Apparel Options

  • 100% Cotton t shirts
  • DTG Shirts
  • No minimum order

What is DTG printing?

DTG printers use modified inkjet technology calibrated for garment printing. Direct to garment printing is perfect for highly detailed artwork and small quantity orders. DTG jobs do not require nearly as much setup compared to screen printing, so producing small quantities is still cost effective. Whether you are an artist who wants to put your work on a shirt, or someone looking for a one-off custom t-shirt , using digital t shirt printing is ideal. For complex full color designs DTG is often a better choice than other printing methods!

Custom Heat Transfers and Appliques

Print Details

  • Screen printed prints applied with transfer paper
  • Heat transfer vinyl, Specialty appliques
  • Slightly heavier hand than screen print

Benefits

  • Save graphics to be applied at a later time (fulfillment services)
  • Same graphic on multiple garment styles
  • Jersey names and numbers
  • Sports teams

Apparel Options

  • Typically suitable for most apparel types
  • Not great with heat sensitive fabrics

Benefits of Heat Transfer Printing

In an industry exploding with fulfillment services, heat transfer printing has become a smart way for apparel decorators to keep up with sporadic customer orders. This method allows customers to buy a sum of graphics at one time then order new apparel only as needed. Customers don’t have to worry about creating storage space or spending a large budget on apparel costs upfront. We can set up a company shop which employees, fans, etc. can order from year round. After a fulfillment order has been made we will apply the heat transfer and ship directly to the buyer!
