Tips From Our Experts By Decoration Technique

Embroidery

Embroidery is the art of embellishing a piece of apparel with a needle and thread or yarn creating stunning visual representations of various types of art. This is achieved by converting logos in a digitizing software and using various stitch patterns, angles, density and stitch types to create depth, movement and detail. Thread can be made from many materials. The most commonly used threads are polyester and rayon. There are also options such as metallic, cotton, nylon, silk and even Nomex thread for fire resistance. Embroidery has a very high-perceived value and is popular for use on most apparel, bags, hats, luggage, blankets and more!

 

Resealing the back of embroidery on this product to retain waterproof and water-resistant properties is recommended.

 

For better results, Magnetic or Clamp Frames may be required for better stability and max decoration range

Screen Printing

An imprinting method in which the image is transferred to the fabric. Ink is squeegeed through a stenciled screen stretched over a frame and then cured in a dryer.

 

Bonding catalysts may be required for stain release, water resistant/waterproof coated and nylon fabrics.

 

Low-cure poly inks are required. Grey or black bleed blockers may be necessary.

 

Do not use catch bins to avoid potential ghosting, zebra striping or dye migration.

 

Do not package product until completely cool. Cooling stations are recommended.

It is a best practice to consult with your decorator or consumable supplier(s) for accessories,
specialty frames and applications that are specific to a shop's setup and equipment.
