Our Custom Decoration Options
We offer multiple professional decoration techniques to suit your specific project size and design requirements.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is the most cost-effective choice for high-volume orders featuring bold, straightforward designs. This method pushes ink directly onto the garment, creating vibrant and highly durable graphics that withstand heavy daily wear.
Embroidery
Embroidery delivers a premium, textured finish that instantly elevates your corporate identity. By stitching heavy thread directly into the fabric, this robust method is the ideal choice for adding professional logos to polo shirts, structured jackets, caps, and staff uniforms.
Heat Transfer / Vinyl Printing
Heat transfer printing provides a sharp, clean finish and exceptional flexibility for applying custom graphics. It is practical for smaller production batches or designs that require individual variations, such as custom names and numbers on athletic gear.
Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing
Direct-to-Garment printing operates like a highly advanced inkjet printer for clothing. It applies specialized ink straight into the fabric, making it the superior choice for capturing the precision and intricate details of complex, multi-color artwork.
Sublimation Printing
Sublimation Printing
Sublimation uses heat to infuse dye directly into the fibers of light-colored polyester fabrics. This process results in completely smooth, all-over prints that are long-lasting and fade-resistant, ensuring your graphics will not crack or peel over time.
Which Decoration Method is Right for You?
An important step with big consequences and often neglected. We recommend finalizing a decoration method depending on your specific project requirements first. Your preferred decoration method may not suit the product you are considering for the project. You can discuss this with our friendly Customer Support team and get a transparent walkthrough of the whole decoration process in ShirtsBargain.
Here’s a quick guide to choose the right decoration method. The following factors can help you make the right choice.
- Bulk vs. Small Quantity: Screen printing is highly efficient and economical for large volume runs. For smaller batches or individualized items, heat transfer and Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing are much more practical options.
- Simple vs. Complex Designs: Choose screen printing or embroidery for bold, straightforward logos with limited colors. Opt for DTG or sublimation to accurately capture intricate details, color gradients, and photographic imagery.
- Fabric Compatibility: Embroidery and screen printing perform reliably on standard cotton and heavy blends. Sublimation works best on light-colored 100% polyester materials, while DTG produces the sharpest results on 100% cotton garments.DTF works on cotton, polyester, and blends.
- Budget Considerations: Screen printing provides the lowest cost per unit for high-quantity orders. Embroidery delivers a premium, professional finish but typically requires a higher initial setup cost to digitize your artwork. In ShirtsBargain, once you’ve done embroidery with an artwork, you can save the artwork to your free ShirtsBargain account. Subsequent embroidery with that same artwork will be devoid of setup charges. There are no setup charges for bulk orders also.
