Decoration Methods
Printwear specializes in creating custom apparel and promotional products using a variety of decoration methods. Some of the available methods are:
Embroidery
This method uses stitches to create a design on the item. It's a classic and sophisticated option that's perfect for hats, jackets, polos, and other apparel.
Heat Transfer
This method uses heat to transfer a pre-designed image or logo onto the item. It's a quick and affordable option that works well for simple designs on fabrics like polyester. Team names and numbers are most often applied this way.
Pad Printing
This method uses a silicone pad to transfer ink to uneven surfaces, making it ideal for items like sunglasses, pens, mugs, and keychains.
Screen Printing
This is a popular method that uses a stencil to apply ink to the surface of the item. It's known for its durability and vibrant colors, making it ideal for t-shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags, and other items that will get a lot of wear and tear.
Laser Etching
This method uses a laser to burn a design into the surface of the item, creating a permanent and elegant look. Often used in drinkware and entertaining products.
Direct-to-Garment (DTG)
A modern printing method for applying designs directly onto garments using specialized inkjet printers. Similar to how you might print on paper, but instead of paper, the ink is deposited onto fabric fibers.
Emboss
This method creates a raised impression in the material, adding a tactile element to the design. Oftern used on notebooks and journals.
Deboss
This method creates a sunken impression in the material, adding a tactile element to the design. Often used in silicon drinkware and wristbands.
Dye-Sublimation
A heat transfer process that heat presses sublimation ink printed onto transfer paper onto a product. Ideal for producing vivid full color images. Often used with sports jerseys and athletic apparel.
UV Printing
A digital printing method that uses ultra-violet lights to dry or cure ink as it is printed. While the printer distributes ink on the material, UV lights follow behind, curing the ink instantly.
Rotary Screen Print
This method forces ink through a fine mesh screen with a squeegee onto a rotating product and is ideal for cylindrical objects. Used mainly for drink bottles, cups and mugs.
Supacolor
This method combines the quality of traditional water-based silkscreen techniques with the flexibility and convenience of digital direct to film (DTF) printing to create premium-quality printing especially on difficult to print applications.
