Standard Spot Color

Spot color inks have a strong concentration of pigment which can produce vibrant colors. When printed properly, this can be achieved with a light deposit of ink, also called a “soft hand.”

Glitter

Add sparkle to a design with silver, gold or colored glitter. Add the shimmer with a clear, hyper-glittered top coat printed on top of your design.

Puff Ink

This ink contains an expansion agent that causes it to expand in all directions. It’s best used in light coatings, which gives a slightly raised effect.  Heavier puff prints are possible but may crack or cause uneven surfaces on the fabric.

Halftone and Halftone Distressed

Need halftone description.

Distressed designs have been popular for years.  The key is to distress the design just enough to look old but not so much that the lettering is altered too much.

Direct

Secure an apparel piece in an embroidery hoop or clamp for direct stitching a design through the fabric. It is the most common type of embroidery for most types of apparel and industries. Great for corporate apparel, sports teams, fashion and workwear. Decoration sample by Hawkins Lettering.

3D Puff Foam

Sew over a piece of foam ranging in thickness from 2mm to 6mm to create a 3-dimensional stitch. Great for monograms, sports logos or just for adding a cool 3-dimensional element to an existing logo. It is very popular for headwear. Decoration sample by Embroidery Unlimited.

Applique

Utilize a pre-cut piece of fabric and stitch down the edges with a satin stitch to add dimension, texture and patterns. It is terrific for reducing stitch count. Great for use in collegiate, fraternity/sorority, fanwear, team sports and fashion. Decoration sample by Hirsch Solution Studio.

Direct to Garment CMYK

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) refers to a method for textile printing where the fabric fibers soak up the ink and become part of the garment. This technology enables creating garment prints that do not crack, peel or distort in other ways. We currently offer DTG on light garments only.

This is a process of converting raw materials into finished products. The apparel manufacturing process involves Product Design, Fabric Selection, Patternmaking, Grading, Marking, Spreading, Cutting, Bundling, Sewing, Pressing or Folding, Finishing, and Detailing.
