Tips From Our Experts By Decoration Technique

Embroidery

Embroidery is the art of embellishing a piece of apparel with a needle and thread or yarn creating stunning visual representations of various types of art. This is achieved by converting logos in a digitizing software and using various stitch patterns, angles, density and stitch types to create depth, movement and detail. Thread can be made from many materials. The most commonly used threads are polyester and rayon. There are also options such as metallic, cotton, nylon, silk and even Nomex thread for fire resistance. Embroidery has a very high-perceived value and is popular for use on most apparel, bags, hats, luggage, blankets and more!

For better results, Magnetic or Clamp Frames are recommended for stability and max decoration range.
Given the nature of the inside pocket size, it might be required to embroider through the pocket while embroidering this area.
Using performance woven backing on this fabric to avoid puckering is recommended.
For best results, performance backing is recommended.
For best results, a ball point small needle is recommended.

Screen Printing

An imprinting method in which the image is transferred to the fabric. Ink is squeegeed through a stenciled screen stretched over a frame and then cured in a dryer.

Avoid hot stacking when decorating 100% polyester, blends, and pigment dye fabrics.
Test your application process for success prior to all production runs. Ultra-low cure transfers may be required.
We recommend a low cure ink not to exceed 300° during application.
To avoid scorching of polyester blends, be aware of flash units and dryer temperature, time and distance.
Do not use catch bins to avoid potential ghosting, zebra striping or dye migration. Do not package product until completely cool. Cooling stations are recommended.

Heat Transfers

A graphic, name and or number applied to a textile with a heat press. Great for quantities of any size, sports name and numbering, fashion, performance wear, print on demand programs and on-site decorating events.

Heat transfers with low cure adhesive and bleed blockers are required for this product.
Given the nature of this fabric, high stretch consumables are required.
We recommend not to exceed 300° during application.
Avoid hot-stacking when decorating 100% polyester and blended fabrics. Do not package product until completely cool. Cooling stations are recommended.
For best results when using heat applied consumables to avoid a color or sheen change, it is recommended to use a protective foam application pad.

It is a best practice to consult with your decorator or consumable supplier(s) for accessories,
specialty frames and applications that are specific to a shop's setup and equipment.
