Match the method to the idea

Printing + decoration methods

The right decoration balances detail, surface, hand feel, durability target, garment color and order scale. Approve the physical result before production.

Screen-based print

Useful for bold graphics and controlled color layers. Ink system, underbase, texture, cure and wash expectation must be matched to the fabric and finish.

  • Artwork separation
  • Ink and hand target
  • Color approval
  • Cure and care requirement

Transfer-based decoration

Useful where detail, gradients or smaller runs matter. Film edge, stretch, surface compatibility and hand should be reviewed on the final fabric.

  • Final-size artwork
  • Carrier and application
  • Stretch behavior
  • Wash expectation

Embroidery

Thread, stitch direction, density, backing and garment stability determine the result. Raised, flat and applique-led approaches each need their own sample.

  • Digitized artwork
  • Thread colors
  • Backing and stabilization
  • Placement sample

Patches + applique

Woven, embroidered, chenille, rubber and cut-material pieces add dimension. Edge finish, backing, attachment and care must be specified together.

  • Patch construction
  • Edge and backing
  • Attachment method
  • Garment reinforcement
