Same knit. Your mark.

Drag the line across the fabric. Decoration changes how a garment feels as much as how it looks — embroidery adds weight and texture, sublimation adds nothing you can feel. That is why every method is shown on your sample before the run.

05Method guide

Which method, on which fabric.

General guidance to start the conversation. The right method for your garment is confirmed against your material and artwork on the sample.

Method	Look & feel	Best on	Artwork	Watch for
Embroidery	Raised, textured, premium	Fleece, knits, polos, wovens	Vector logo; thread colours as Pantone references	Stitch count rises with size; fine text under a few mm loses detail
Sublimation	Dyed into the fibre, no hand-feel	White or light polyester	Full-size artwork; colours proofed on fabric	Not for cotton or dark bases; best for all-over designs
Screen print	Flat, opaque, crisp edges	Cotton and blends: tees, hoodies	Vector with spot colours	Each colour is a screen — fewer colours, simpler set-up
Puff print	Soft, raised 3D ink	Hoodies, sweats, heavyweight tees	Vector; bold shapes work best	Very fine lines can close up as the ink rises
Woven labels	Thread-woven, durable, flat	Any garment, sewn on	Vector logo; size of the label in mm	Small text needs a high-density weave
Silicone transfer	Glossy, raised, rubbery	Performance and stretch fabrics	Vector; minimum line thickness checked on proof	Heat-applied: confirmed against your fabric on the sample

06Artwork checklist

Files that print first time.

Good artwork saves a proofing round. If you only have a JPG or a sketch, send it anyway — artwork clean-up can be part of the ODM side of the project.

Vector files: AI, EPS, PDF or SVG, fonts outlined
Colour references as Pantone codes — or a physical swatch
Width of each logo in centimetres, per placement
Placement measured from a reference point (e.g. 8 cm below the collar)
Number of colours in each logo
Different sizes for youth and adult runs, if needed
Names and numbers as a roster with sizes
A mock-up or photo showing the intended look

08Before you enquire

Customization FAQ.

Straight answers. Anything commercial — minimums, timing, prices — is set per style and confirmed in your quote.

Which decoration method is best for my logo?

It depends on the fabric, the artwork and the look. Embroidery suits fleece and polos, sublimation suits polyester jerseys, screen and puff suit cotton streetwear, silicone suits performance fabric. We suggest a method and confirm it against your material on the sample.

What size should my chest logo be?

Left-chest logos commonly sit around 7–10 cm wide, centre-chest prints around 20–28 cm and full-back prints up to about 30 cm. These are starting points only; the right size depends on the garment size run and your artwork, and is confirmed on the sample.

What artwork files do you need?

Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) with fonts outlined, colour references as Pantone codes, and a placement note with the width in centimetres. High-resolution PNGs are fine as references.

Can you match my brand colours?

Colours are matched to your Pantone references or physical swatches and shown on the sample for approval. Thread, ink and dye on fabric can differ from screens, so the approved sample is the reference.

Can each size have a different print size?

Yes. Prints can be graded so a youth XS and an adult 3XL both look right; give the sizes in your spec or ask us to propose a grading.

Do you make custom woven labels and swing tags?

Yes. Woven and printed neck labels, care labels, hem tabs, swing tags and branded polybags can be made in your branding. List each one in your brief.

Can I combine several methods on one garment?

Yes — for example an embroidered chest logo with a screen-printed back and a woven hem tab. Each method is shown on the sample.

Is decoration included in the price?

Decoration is quoted per style with the garment, based on method, size, colours and placements. Your quote lists each one.
