Screen Printing
Uses mesh screens to apply ink for bold, solid-color designs on cotton/polyester (e.g., tees, logos). Low cost for bulk orders, but multi-color setups increase complexity; durable but struggles with fine details.
Digital Printing
Direct inkjet technology for high-res, photo-realistic patterns on various fabrics (fashion, custom designs). Quick setup for small runs, moderate cost, and versatile for gradients/intricate designs—durability depends on ink and fabric.
Heat Transfer
Transfers pre-printed designs to fabric via heat/pressure, ideal for detailed, multi-color graphics on cotton/poly blends (jerseys, promo items). Affordable for small batches, but vinyl transfers may crack; sublimation offers better longevity on polyester.
Foil Stamping
Applies metallic/holographic foil via heat/pressure for luxury accents (logos, text) on smooth fabrics (formal wear, accessories). High setup costs due to custom dies, but suitable for small-scale premium designs—requires gentle care for durability.
