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!

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.

Low-cure poly inks are required. Grey or black bleed blockers may be necessary. Avoid hot-stacking when decorating 100% polyester, blends and pigment dye fabrics.
Heat Transfers

A graphic, name and or number applied to a textile with a heat press. Great for quantities of any size, sports name and numbering, fashion, performance wear, print on demand programs and on-site decorating events.

Heat transfers with an aggressive adhesive are required for stain release, water resistant/waterproof coated and nylon fabrics. Consult with your transfer supplier for recommendations.
Laser Etching

Laser etching is a decorating process that burns a pattern into the top layer of fabric, giving it a subtle tone-on-tone appearance. The image the etching creates has an upscale look that is usually the same color but several shades darker than the original fabric's color. It works well with both big or small logos.

*Test etch prior to production to dial in wattage and speed. Darker colors may not give you the desired outcome.*,*Please consult with your decorator, equipment, and consumable supplier.*
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.
