Decoration Methods
Here at Top Marques we can use a range of techniques to apply your logo to a garment of your choice.
We offer embroidery or various print methods, and it depends on a couple of factors as to which method is used.
Here we explain the decoration methods.
Embroidery
Embroidery is the most durable method of garment decoration. However, not all fabrics are suitable, as a thin or stretchy fabric doesn’t give good results.
Embroidery machines are computerised, and so need an electronic file to be able to embroider the logo onto the garment. Creating the file from your logo is a process called digitising, and every new design has to be digitised before we can embroider any garment.
Digitising is a skilled process and takes time to produce the file needed. Once we have the file ready, we always stitch out a test sample onto felt to make sure it works before we embroider any garments. If any adjustments need to be made, they are done and stitched out again and only when we are happy it looks perfect, do we show it to the customer for approval.
Another reason why embroidery may not be suitable is if there is fine detail or small lettering involved in the logo – we will discuss this with you to see if there is a solution – but if not we would suggest print.
There a few print techniques available and we would suggest the best one for your particular project.
The most versatile print method we use is DTF (Direct to Film), which is a relatively new process that can print in many colours in small detail. The transfers are durable and soft on the garments. All we need is a good quality electronic file saved as eps or svg formats.
Vinyl print is used where a single colour is required, providing there is no small detail involved and we can colour match the vinyl to your logo. Ideal for small quantities.
