Decoration.
Our embroidery and printing will bring your logo to life on any garment. However, there are factors, like the material of your garment, which you should consider before you decide on what kind of application you wish to use.
As a brief guide to help you choose what method of customization is best for you we have put together a few points on each type of logo application.
Embroidery.
Embroidered garments are ideal for a number of purposes, the most popular of which being used by employers to give their workforce a strong identity and help to promote their brand.
With this technique when adding a logo to your garment via embroidery, a frame is placed onto the garment and backing fabric is applied to the logo area. This ensures that the garment is secure while the logo is stitched. The actual embroidery process is carried out by a computerized embroidery machine. Your logo is digitized and submitted to the embroidery machines, with the process beginning once additional instructions like the color of the threads have also been submitted.
In terms of suitability, embroidery tends to work the best on polo shirts, business shirts/blouses, aprons/tabards, jackets & headwear.
To adhere to our own quality standards, we do not provide big logo embroidery on garments that have a weight under 175gsm (the reason for this is because the material is so thin it cannot hold the embroidery and therefore tends to pukker, we therefore don't offer embroidery on thin garments as it doesn't give the polished logo appearance that we pride ourselves on).
Transfer.
Heat transfer, the best way to think of transfer is comparable to the names and numbers on the back of a football shirt. A sheet of vinyl is carefully cut into the specific shape of your logo or design, the remaining design is then flipped and finally heat sealed onto the garment using a heat press.
A vinyl transfer is great for less complex designs with low colors, typically a logo with 1-2 colors would be applied with this method. This process works well for relatively low quantity orders. Vinyl transfer is suitable for the majority of garments (apart from fleece and wool)
Screen Printing.
If your logo has bright and vibrant colors then screen printing could be the best choice for you to bring those colors to life. This process is advised for multiple garments with the same design. Screen printing uses multi-colored inks to recreate your logo, which are then applied to the garment through mesh screens. Once we have received your logo, it is then separated into different colors for each screen, after each screen the garment will be put under a heat lamp then once each color screen has been applied the garment will go through a drying process to ensure the ink does not wear or wash out.
This process is great for a range of different garments from t-shirts to hoodies, this type of logo application works great for big back designs where multiple garments are using the same logo.
