Decoration & Imprint
4 methods
Your logo is placed on the front or back of the sweatshirt. Screen printing applies crisp, opaque ink for bold designs, embroidery adds a raised, textured stitch, and direct-to-garment printing produces soft, full-color images. For photographic or gradient artwork, direct-to-garment is the best choice; for bold spot-color logos, screen printing or embroidery work well.
Screen PrintPMS1 color/location included · one-time setup $25.00 · Up to 4 colors
Screen printing presses ink through a fine mesh stencil, laying down each color as a separate pass. Each color lays down as its own premixed spot ink, printing solid and consistent across the run. The applied mark is flat and opaque, sitting on top of the material with crisp edges; on heavy coverage, you can feel a slight raised texture where ink builds up. The cured ink is durable and holds up to repeated handling and washing.
EmbroideryPMSone-time setup $100.00 · Full color
Embroidery stitches your design directly into the fabric, building artwork from dense, interlocking threads rather than laying ink on the surface. Each color is its own thread in a solid shade. The result is a raised, tactile mark with the soft sheen of thread and a slightly dimensional edge. Each shape reads as a clean, saturated block, and the sewn-in design resists fading, peeling, and wear through repeated washing.
Direct to GarmentPMSone-time setup $25.00 · Full color
Direct-to-garment printing jets CMYK ink (with a white underbase on dark fabric) straight onto a pre-treated garment, then heat-cures it into the fibers. It reproduces photographs, gradients, and dense multi-color artwork with fine detail and a soft hand, since the ink soaks into the cloth rather than sitting on top. Color is a full-color process blend that lands close to brand references rather than as exact spot inks, and prints most vividly on cotton and light fabrics.

From our decoration and product guides
- What does a screen-printed logo look like on a promotional product?
- Screen printing presses ink through a fine mesh stencil, one pass per color. Each color lays down as its own premixed spot ink, so the mark is flat, opaque and consistent across the run, with crisp edges that sit on top of the material. On heavy coverage you can feel a slight raised texture where the ink builds up, and the cured ink holds up to repeated handling and washing. More about Screen Print →
- Which artwork works best for screen printing?
- Bold spot-color shapes, blocks of solid color and simple lettering, where you want strong, opaque coverage that reads clearly. Screen printing holds clean edges on solid shapes and standard lettering, but very fine hairlines, smooth gradients and photographic blends lose definition because each color prints as a flat solid layer. For gradient or photographic artwork choose a full-color process method instead. More about Screen Print →
- Can a screen print match my exact Pantone color?
- Yes. Because every color is a separate, premixed spot ink, screen printing can be mixed to a specific Pantone (PMS) number. Where a product offers it, Pantone matching is an option for an additional charge per color; without it the printer uses the closest standard stock ink color. More about Screen Print →
