Decoration methods

Not sure which is right for your order? Here is what each one is, and what it is best at.

What is embroidery?

Your design is stitched into the fabric with thread rather than printed onto it. It gives a raised, textured, premium finish that will outlast the garment, and it does not crack, peel or fade in the wash.

Best for polos, caps, jackets, bags and fleece, and for logos rather than large or photographic artwork. Embroidery is priced by stitch count — how much thread the design takes — so a compact design costs less than a wide one, regardless of how many colors it uses.

What is DTF?

Direct to film. Your artwork is printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive, and heat-pressed onto the garment. It reproduces full color with no limit on the number of colors, and it holds detail and gradients that screen printing cannot.

Best for complex or photographic artwork and for smaller runs, where setting up a screen per color would not be worth it. It also sits well on a wider range of fabrics and blends than direct to garment printing does.
