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.
