🧵 Embroidery
🧵 Embroidery
Durable. Professional. Timeless.
Embroidery involves stitching your design directly into the fabric using coloured thread. It's perfect for workwear, uniforms, and garments where a smart, hard-wearing finish is needed.
✔️ Pros:
High durability – Withstands repeated washing and daily wear
Premium appearance – Adds texture and professionalism
Ideal for workwear – Great on polos, jackets, hats & more
Fade-proof – Threads stay vibrant and won’t peel or crack
⚠️ Things to Consider:
Limited detail – Small text and intricate logos may not stitch cleanly
Not ideal for large logos – Costs and thickness increase with size
Raised texture – May not suit lightweight or stretchy garments

🎨 DTF Transfer Print
🎨 DTF Transfer Print
Modern. Vibrant. Versatile.
DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing transfers your full-colour design from film to fabric using heat and pressure. It’s perfect for T-shirts, hoodies, and colourful logos with fine detail.
✔️ Pros:
Detailed & colourful – Excellent for gradients, small text, and photo-quality prints
Soft, smooth finish – No heavy stitching or stiffness
Affordable for larger prints – Especially on lightweight garments
Great for short runs – Quick turnaround for small orders
⚠️ Things to Consider:
Slightly less durable – May fade or crack over time with heavy wear
Glossy when new – Has a slight sheen that softens with washing
Best on smooth fabric – Not ideal for textured or rough materials
