Direct-to-Film (DTF)
Upload high-resolution PNGs with transparency. Use DTF for fast production and great print quality on tees, hoodies, and more.
Embroidery
Submit solid vector artwork—no gradients or fine detail. Simple logos work best on structured fabrics like hats and polos.
Screen Printing
Use vector files or layered PSDs with defined spot colors. This is the most cost-effective option for simple logos in bulk.
Sublimation
Use full-bleed vector artwork or high-res raster files. Sublimation gives you full creative freedom across seams and edges.
