CRAFT & TECHNIQUE

6 core techniques —
how to choose

Technique drives cost, feel and look. We recommend combinations at the quoting stage — no piling on effects, no sacrificing brand recognition to save pennies.

Ask us to recommend a technique

Embroidery

Best for caps and canvas bags. 3D puff embroidery is bold and wash-resistant; logo lines should be at least 1.2mm wide.

8,000–25,000 stitches · from +$0.25 / pc

Screen Print

Best for canvas bags and flat-woven fabrics. Water-based eco inks available; multi-color runs priced per screen.

1–4 colors · from +$0.13 / pc

Heat Transfer

For synthetic fabrics — ski caps, sports gloves. Full-color gradients and fine lines, friendly at small quantities.

Full color · from +$0.17 / pc

Jacquard & Woven Label

For beanies and socks. The pattern is knit into the yarn — never peels, the most durable logo for knits.

1–6 colors · from +$0.21 / pc

Silicone & Transfer Badge

For sports gloves and outdoor caps. Tactile, low-temp resistant; pairs with reflective material for night safety.

Silicone / reflective / glow · from +$0.22 / pc
