We currently offer embroidery, direct-to-film (DTF), sublimation, and laser engraving in-house. The only time we outsource is if we need screen print transfers, which is very rare.

Sublimation requires a special ink and a high polyester count item. Once the ink is heated to 400 degrees, it fuses to the polyester fibers in the garment, making it permanent. The more polyester an item has, the bolder the colors will appear. 

• Pros of Sublimation: Allows for a wide range of designs, cannot feel the design once it's on the shirt. It won’t crack or peel. It might fade a little after the first wash but that is also what gives it the vintage “lived in” look. 
• Cons of Sublimation: It cannot go on dark garments. And it must go on an item with at least 40% polyester in it

Direct-to-film (DTF) takes a special printer, ink, and adhesive to create. The prints have a white background base so that the design always looks bold on the garment.

• Pros of DTF: These prints can go on almost any item and more importantly, any color item! We are able to mass produce a design and get the finished item out to our customers quickly 
• Cons of DTF: These are top quality garment prints but they do sit on top of the garment, meaning you will be able to feel them. They aren’t stiff or plastic feeling but they are not as soft as a Sublimation print. Over time, these designs will start to crack from continuous washing. Please follow our care instructions to preserve your garment for as long as possible.

Screen print transfers require a special pressing machine, ink, and a heat element. 

• Pros of Screen Print Transfers: These designs can go on almost any item and also any color item. 
• Cons of Screen Print Transfers: These prints, like DTF, sit on top of the garment and you will be able to feel them. They aren’t stiff but are not as soft as Sublimation. These take a very expensive and large machine to create. Over time, just as with DTF, these designs will begin to crack and even peel after continuous washes.
