Recommended Decoration Methods
- Screen Printing: Bold, durable spot-color prints. Examples: tees, totes, hoodies.
- Embroidery / 3D Puff: Premium, textured look with dimensional options. Examples: hats, polos, jackets.
- Heat Transfer: Fine detail/gradients; great for short runs and personalization.

About the Material
Lightweight polymers from styrene to PP/PET; adhesion varies by resin and surface treatment.

Tips & Notes
Powder coat/anodize affect contrast and method choice—test first.
Wood
About the Material
Natural grain and porosity vary by species; rustic to premium looks possible.
Recommended Decoration Methods

We offer thousands of customizable promo items—pens, drinkware, coozies, bags, keychains, tech accessories, signage, stationery, and more—curated for breweries, coffee shops, restaurants, and businesses of all kinds.
Popular methods include screen print, pad print, UV digital/full-color, laser engraving, deboss/foil, sublimation, and heat transfer/DTF. The best choice depends on your product’s material and your artwork.
MOQs vary by item and print method. Many promo products start between 50–250 pieces, while some premium or highly customized items may require higher quantities.
Yes. Spot-color methods (screen/pad print) can match PMS colors. Full-color processes (UV digital, sublimation) are process-matched and may vary slightly by material and finish.
Vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF with outlined fonts) are preferred. For full-color processes, high-resolution raster files (300 DPI at imprint size) work well too. Include PMS values and placement notes if available.
Most promo orders ship within 2–4 weeks after artwork approval, depending on the item and print method. Tell us your event date and we’ll help plan timelines or rush options.
Yes. You’ll receive a digital art proof to approve. For select items, blank samples or pre-production proofs may be available; additional costs and lead time can apply.
For many items, yes—variable data (like names or numbers) can be applied using methods such as heat transfer or digital print. Personalization may affect pricing and lead times.
Most imprint processes include a one-time setup per location/color. Exact reorders with the same art, method, and location often qualify for discounted or waived setup fees.
Colors and finishes can vary by substrate (e.g., fabric vs. plastic vs. metal). We’ll advise on the best method for consistency, but exact matching across all materials cannot be guaranteed.
