Transfer printing is particularly popular method of decorating baseball caps for example or Hi Visibility waistcoats.
Baseball caps are difficult to print well because of the complications in printing on curved surface. But transfers for baseball caps can be printed and applied very easily, making perfect, economical promotional items.

Why would I choose to have my garments, t-shirts or apparel printed by silk screen method?

Screen Printing is a good solution if you require a large print run over (100+). Screen Printed t shirts wash well and can maintain the print quality for a considerable length of time.

Transfers printing or thermal prints are ok for short small, smaller runs were the garment is not meant to last long so it’s much cheaper option.
Stag and Hens normally opt for transfer printing due to quick turnarounds and low costs involved with no set up for screens and ink charges.

Fors: Good for large runs over 100
Against: Not good for short runs under 50 because of the cost of the screens per colour.

Other notes

To adhere to our own quality standards, we do not provide embroidery on garments that have a weight under 175gsm (the reason for this is because the material is so thin it cannot hold the embroidery and therefore tends to pukker, we therefore don’t offer embroidery on thin garments as it doesn’t give the polished logo appearance that we pride ourselves on). Due to the same reasons, we also do not offer printing via DTG on garments that are 100% Polyester as the fabric cannot hold the print (screen print can be used as an alternative print method – but this service is only available on larger quantity orders of 20 garments and above).
