Embroidery
Stitched directly into the fabric, embroidery looks premium and wears extremely well — ideal for apparel, hats, and bags. It excels with logos and text; very fine detail or large color gradients are better suited to other methods.
Screen print
Screen printing lays ink on the surface and is economical for bold, simple logos, especially at higher quantities. It's a classic choice for apparel when you want a clean, flat graphic.
Full-color imprint
Full-color (digital) imprint reproduces detailed, multicolor artwork and photos, and works well on hard goods like coolers and on bags. It's the choice when your logo has gradients or many colors.
How to choose
Match the method to the product surface, your artwork, and your quantity — and we'll recommend the best fit when you send your request. We confirm placement and colors on a proof before production so it looks right.
Frequently asked
Which decoration lasts the longest?
Embroidery is among the most durable on fabric, since the design is stitched in rather than sitting on the surface. The best choice still depends on the product and artwork, which we'll help you weigh.
