Embroidery

Ideal for thick fabrics like canvas, denim and cotton, embroidery uses machine needlework and color threads to create intricate designs that create a rich texture and depth, making your swag items both visually and tactually appealing.

(02)

Screen Printing

Looking to create attention-grabbing swag in eye-catching colors and detailed design? Screen printing is the way to go — suitable for poly, cotton and other thick fabrics, and commonly used for apparel and accessories, it uses stencil design to transfer ink or dye onto a textile.

(03)

Patches

These can be embroidered, chenille or leather. Patches are made and then subsequently sewn onto products. Patches are best used for a unique, craft, collegiate or outdoor look.

(04)

Sewn Tags

Suitable for your retail-ready products and made of durable fabrics, sewn tags are custom-woven tags stitched onto your product’s interior or exterior. They give your merch items a highly custom, designer look.

(05)

Embossing / Debossing

Best for creating a sense of luxury, impression techniques appeal to professional recipients. Where embossing creates a three-dimensional raised-up image or design for a premium feel, debossing presses the design onto the material for a chic finish.

(06)

Puff Print

Create a raised, 3D effect on fabric. Puff printing adds a tactile and visual dimension to designs, making them stand out more than standard flat screen prints. Puff printing is best for thicker cotton pieces like sweatshirts, t-shirts and totes.

(07)

Dye Sublimation

A digital computer printing technique using heat to transfer dye onto materials such as plastic, card, paper or fabric, dye sublimation is optimal for full color, a soft feel and edge-to-edge printing on apparel, lanyards, handkerchiefs and more.

(08)

Laser Etching

Commonly used for awards and corporate gifts, laser etching uses a laser beam to mark parts and products by melting or etching their surface. It allows for high precision and detail and creates a remarkable sense of sophistication.
