Printing and Embroidery Methods

Printing Methods

1. Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing: Prints designs directly onto garments using inkjet technology. Ideal for detailed, colorful designs.
2. All-Over Printing: Prints designs on fabric which is then cut and sewn into products. Perfect for patterns and large-scale designs.
3. Sublimation: Transfers designs from paper to products using heat, suitable for vibrant, all-over designs on items like mugs and phone cases.
4. Direct-to-Film (DTF) Printing: Similar to sublimation but for fabrics unsuitable for DTG. Good for intricate graphics and small texts.
5. Knitting: Designs are knitted directly into the fabric, perfect for complex patterns and detailed graphics.

Embroidery Methods

1. Flat Embroidery: Stitches are flat on the surface, ideal for simple designs and text.
2. Tatami Fill: Uses rows of run stitches to fill large areas with a textured look.
3. 3D Puff Embroidery: Raises the embroidery for a three-dimensional effect, often used for big shapes.
4. Satin Stitch Outline: Long, straight stitches outline objects or cap a 3D puff design.
5. Run Stitch: Single line stitch used for small design details.
