Explore Our Core Decoration Techniques
HiDefinition Screen Printing
120 LPI full-color printing with photorealistic detail—perfect for gradients, photography, and complex illustrations. This is the gold standard for screen-printed imagery.
Traditional Screen Printing
Cost-effective, clean, and highly versatile. Spot color and four-color process prints deliver vibrant results ideal for bulk orders and retail-inspired designs.
Embroidery
A high-end, durable solution ideal for polos, jackets, uniforms, and hats. Engineered for detail and precision with a timeless look.
Laser Etching
A sleek, subtle approach that burns your logo directly into the fabric—no added weight, just clean branding. Excellent for fleece, softshells, and synthetics.
Heat Transfer
Perfect for performance fabrics and on-demand production. These vibrant, detailed prints are applied with heat and pressure, making them durable and flexible.
Dye Sublimation
For full-coverage, edge-to-edge prints with bold color and unlimited complexity. Ideal for athletic wear, racing jerseys, and modern, head-turning apparel.
Debossing
Create a clean, recessed logo using custom heat dies. A great alternative to embroidery on technical and waterproof gear.
Mixed Media
Why settle for one technique? Combine embroidery with print, transfers with etching—whatever makes your design stand out. This is where creativity meets craftsmanship.
