Product Branding
We offer a Variety of imprinting techniques
With so many options it’s hard to know which decorating technique to use on your promotional apparel. Or maybe you didn’t even know other options outside of screen print and embroidery existed! Jastex has you covered!
Embroidery
One of the most common decoration types for polos and caps. Embroidery uses thread to stitch/sew the logo or desired design on a garment. This technique is commonly used on professional/business wear items for a high-end, clean look.
Screen Printing
A very common decoration technique for t-shirts. Screen printing uses ink pressed through a screen to achieve an imprint. The apparel must then be dried to prevent transfer or smudging of the ink. Screen printing can usually be found on event shirts or hoodies.
Heat Transfer
Heat transfers and heat press are one-in-the-same as far as application goes. This process involves cutting colored vinyl or printing on white vinyl that is then heated to apply the design to the garment. Heat transfers are typically used for number or lettering on the back of jerseys or sports shirts. Some transfer options are now available in a 3D effect that can add texture to your logo.
Sublimation
Sublimation is a process used to cover large areas (typically the whole shirt) by using extreme heat and pressure to bond the design into the fabric. This allows for a custom look on your garment.
Deboss/Emboss
The deboss and emboss process is very similar. A 3D mold is created and then heat and pressure is applied to the garment leaving either a depressed (deboss) or raised (emboss) imprint behind. This is a good option for subtle or tone-on-tone looks.
Laser
Yes, you can use lasers on clothes. This process uses a laser to cut or sheer away a thin layer of fabric. In some instances it can also be used to “melt” the fabric to create the desired imprint.
