Sublimation vs Screen Printing vs DTF vs Embroidery: Which to Use

Mar 5, 2025 · 1 min read · By Finazir

The way you decorate a garment shapes its look, durability and cost. Here is how the four main methods compare, and when to use each.

Sublimation

Dye is infused into polyester fibres for edge-to-edge, photographic prints that never crack or fade. Best for jerseys and all-over activewear. Only works on light polyester.

Screen Printing

Ink is pushed through a stencil — vivid, durable and cost-effective at volume for solid-colour logos. Best for tees and hoodies with a limited colour count.

DTF (Direct-to-Film)

Full-colour transfers applied with heat, ideal for complex artwork on cotton or blends in smaller runs. Flexible and detailed.

Embroidery

Thread stitched directly into fabric for a premium, textured, long-lasting finish. Best for caps, polos and gym wear logos.

Choosing

Match method to fabric, artwork complexity, durability needs and quantity. Finazir offers all four in-house and will recommend the best fit for your product.
