Can I print my company logo onto a Beanie hat?
Printing onto beanie hats usually isn’t recommended because the knitted fabric has a loose weave, which doesn’t hold print well. Embroidery is the better option for a smart, lasting finish. Some beanies do have a printable front panel, but we’d still recommend embroidery for the best result.
How can I put my company logo on clothing?
To brand clothing with your logo, we usually need a clear, high-quality file. For printing, a vector file like a PDF or EPS is best. For embroidery, a good-quality PNG or JPEG may be enough. If you don’t have artwork, we can help recreate it to ensure a clean, professional result.
What are the best quality polo shirts for printing or embroidering?​
The best polo shirt depends on how it will be used. For sports or fitness, go for lightweight polyester with sweat-wicking properties. For corporate wear, a heavier polyester gives a smart finish. For tradespeople, durable polycotton blends are ideal as they hold their shape and withstand frequent washing.
Is print or embroidery better on the back of a t-shirt/polo?
For large logos or text on the back of a t-shirt or polo, print is often more comfortable, especially if the garment touches the skin. Embroidery can feel scratchy in bigger areas. For smaller logos, embroidery works well. On jackets or hoodies, embroidery is a good choice as it doesn’t sit directly against the skin.
What are the different types of printing methods for customised t-shirts?
The main printing methods for customised t-shirts are Direct to Film (DTF), screen printing, and vinyl printing. DTF is ideal for short runs and detailed full-colour designs on cotton garments. Screen printing suits large orders and offers vibrant colours. Vinyl printing works well for small quantities and sportswear.
What’s the difference between 4 Colour Print vs Full Colour Print?
Full colour printing uses a mix of inks like CMYK to produce gradients, shadows, and photo-quality images. It’s ideal for logos with lots of colours or fading. Four colour printing (or spot colour) uses up to four solid colours without blending. It’s better for simple logos with clean lines and blocks of colour.

Clothing decorating methods – what’s the difference?
Clothing decoration methods include embroidery, vinyl transfer, and screen printing. Embroidery is durable and smart but less suited to large logos. Vinyl gives a vibrant finish and is great for small runs and personalisation. Screen printing works well for large orders with detailed designs. Each method suits different garments and budgets.
