Print Methods & Compatible Materials
Pick a print method to see what it is and which materials it works best on. Availability varies by product, artwork, and finish.
What it is: Ink is pushed through a stencil (screen) onto the surface for bold, opaque color and great durability; ideal for solid fills and spot colors.
- Apparel: Cotton, ringspun, triblend tees; fleece; hoodies.
- Bags & Totes: Canvas, cotton, non-woven.
- Hard Goods: Coated metals, select plastics (flat), wood.
- Glass/Ceramic: With ceramic/glass inks; often kiln-cured.
Tip: Large solids pop on smooth substrates; heathers mute color ~5–15%.
What it is: Direct-to-object printing that jets UV-cured inks (including white) for full-color, short-run customization on compatible coatings.
- Drinkware/Hard Goods: Coated stainless, powder coat tumblers, compatible glass.
- Plastics: Flat panels, cases, signs (material dependent).
- Wood & Composites: Plaques, awards, decor.
- Short-Run Cartons/Labels: Prototypes, variable data.
Note: Adhesion varies by coating; test for abrasion/condensation where relevant.
What it is: A soft silicone pad transfers ink from an etched plate to irregular or tiny surfaces—great for fine detail on small curved items.
- Curved/Small Items: Pens, keychains, gadgets.
- Promo Plastics: Clips, tools, small cases.
- Metal Parts: Small badges, clips, bottle openers.
Tip: Excellent for tiny details on irregular shapes where screen print can’t reach.
What it is: A laser removes coating or etches the surface for a permanent, precise mark—no inks; contrast depends on substrate.
- Metals: Stainless, anodized aluminum, coated steels.
- Drinkware: Powder-coated tumblers, bottles.
- Organic: Wood, leather patches, cork.
- Glass: Frosted-style marks (art/shape dependent).
Note: Contrast depends on coating/anodize; color-fill optional on some metals.
What it is: Your artwork is converted to stitches and sewn directly into the fabric for a premium, textured result (flat or 3D puff).
- Headwear: Caps (structured/unstructured), beanies (incl. 3D puff).
- Apparel: Polos, jackets, fleece, workwear.
- Bags: Duffels, backpacks, heavy totes.
Tip: Small text needs higher stitch density and stable fabric.
What it is: Graphics are printed or cut, then heat-pressed onto the item—ideal for full color, small runs, names/numbers, and tricky placements.
- Apparel: Cotton, cotton/poly, performance poly.
- Headwear/Panels: Compatible cap panels and patches.
- Personalization: Names, numbers, small runs.
Note: Use low-temp films for poly to limit dye migration.
What it is: Heat turns dye into gas that bonds with polymer coatings/fibers—ultra-durable, full-color results that feel like part of the item.
- Apparel: Light 100% polyester/performance fabric.
- Drinkware: Poly-coated mugs, bottles (compatible SKUs).
- Panels & Soft Goods: Aluminum photo panels, mousepads.
Tip: Works best on white/light substrates; dyes are translucent.
What it is: Abrasive blasting or chemical etching removes surface material for a frosted, permanent mark with a premium look.
- Glassware: Pints, stemware, mugs, growlers.
- Ceramics: Steins, mugs (select finishes).
Note: Permanent, dishwasher-durable marks; opaque inks not applicable.
What it is: Heat and pressure apply metallic or pigment foil via a custom die for reflective, high-end accents.
- Paperboard: Cartons, sleeves, neckers, carriers.
- Pulpboard: Coasters, inserts.
- Labels: Cold-foil and hot-foil effects.
Tip: Pair with emboss for dramatic premium cues.
What it is: A metal die raises (emboss) or presses in (deboss) the surface—adds tactile depth and perceived value.
- Paperboard: Cartons, sleeves, premium carriers.
- Leather/Patches: Debossed logos and patterns.
Note: Requires die tooling; best on thicker stocks and leathers.
