When it comes to promotional products, choosing the right branding decoration options can make all the difference for your brand. We offer a range of decoration methods to meet different design, durability, and budget requirements. Here’s a breakdown of the decoration techniques we use at Promosapien.
1. Screen Printing
Screen printing is a classic method that works best for designs with a few solid colors. This process transfers ink onto a surface through a mesh screen. It’s particularly effective for larger artwork and economical for high-volume orders.
Key Benefits:
- Ideal for solid color designs
- Economical for large runs
- Great for fine detail and vibrant colours
Common Uses:
- Apparel (e.g., t-shirts and hoodies)
- Drinkware (e.g., mugs and bottles)
- Hard goods (e.g., umbrellas and tech accessories)
2. DTF (Direct-to-Film)
DTF printing is a flexible and durable option that approximates the appearance of screen printing but offers more design freedom with unlimited colors, including gradients and detailed artwork. This method applies a film transfer directly to the product.
Key Benefits:
- Unlimited color options, including gradients
- Durable and versatile across different materials
- Economical where multiple colours are desired
Common Uses:
- Apparel
- Waterproof jackets
- Bags and other textile products
3. Embroidery
Embroidery adds a timeless and professional look to your promotional items by stitching designs directly into the fabric. While it doesn’t handle small details well, it provides a high-quality, textured finish that lasts.
Key Benefits:
- Durable and long-lasting
- Classic, upscale appearance
- Works well on thicker materials
Common Uses:
4. Patches
Patches provide a versatile way to add logos to apparel and accessories. We offer several types of patches, each with unique characteristics. Reminder, they need to be affixed to your products (don’t worry we can help).
Types of Patch:
- Embroidered/Woven: Classic look best for bold elements and solid colours
- Engraved Leatherette Patches: Single colour art with a sophisticated feel.
- Printed Patches: Full colour detailed designs
5. Engraving
Laser engraving is a precise and permanent decoration method that uses a focused laser beam to etch designs into the surface of an item. This technique is ideal for materials like metal, glass, wood, and leather, creating a sleek and durable finish. Engraving not only lasts longer but also provides a classy, high-end look.
Key Benefits:
- High precision for intricate designs
- Permanent and long-lasting
- Classy, upscale appearance
- Suitable for a wide range of materials
Common Uses:
- Metal drinkware (e.g., stainless steel tumblers)
- Office items (e.g., pens and journals)
- Wood and bamboo items
