Decorated Apparel Options
We have Heat Transfer Vinyl, also called HTV that comes in a variety of material and there are no limits on quantities. If you want to decorate one piece of apparel, we are more than happy to take care of that.
We also have sublimation, which only works with white polyester. We don’t recommend going below a percentage of 80% polyester, 100% polyester is the best for color retention. The inks used with sublimation will only bond to polyester fibers. No minimum quantities.
The last option we have is screen printed transfers which comes in a variety of options and unfortunately, we have ordering limits for this option. The minimum ordering quantity for screen printed transfers would be 5 pieces.
