Personalized t-shirts are a great way to market your brand, charity events, fundraisers, employees’ giveaways, etc. There are plenty ways to customize apparel. We use the following methods: Screen Printing, Embroidery, Heat Transfer and Digital Printing.
Our Personalization Methods
Screen printing is a process where the printer pushes the ink through a mesh stencil, known as a screen, one color at a time onto a t-shirt. Then, we pass the t-shirt through a dryer to cure the ink. Hence, the t-shirt remains flexible yet durable for long-term use. We use this method when there are up to 7 colors in the design.

Embroidery is a process of using thread and needle to form the design. For automatic machines, we need digitized-file of the design. Digitizing is the process of converting existing vectored artwork into a stitch file that can be read by an embroidery machine. Great digitizing is the foundation of great embroidery. Therefore, we use the best software in the market for digitizing the design.

Embroidery
Heat Transfer is a process of transferring the image from a vinyl material on to the t-shirt with the use of a heat press. We use this method when the design has more than 7 colors. Also, when there are less number of t-shirts and more complex design, we use this method.
Digital Printing printing is an alternative to the classic screen printing method. It’s sort of like running a t-shirt through a giant inkjet printer. DTG printing allows for full-color prints without the complex set-up that screen printing requires. Therefore, it is a good alternative when your design requires a lot of different ink colors and you need less than 50 shirts.
