SCREEN PRINT
Screen printing is a printing method where ink is pushed through a woven screen onto fabric. The ink doesn’t soak into the fabric, but lays on top of the product. With screen printing, a special screen has to be made for each element of your design. Once that’s done, the colors and elements of the design are applied layer by layer onto the garment. The more layers your design has, the longer it’ll take to print it and the thicker the design will feel on the product.

Embroidered patches are the perfect combination of affordability, durability and design potential with hundreds of thread colors to match your logo or drawing. Their unique texturing lets some designs visually “pop” off the patch with real depth.
Woven patches have many of the benefits of embroidered, but due to the tighter weave they can “pack in” more details like small letters in the same amount of space. The tradeoff is that they don’t have the “texture” of embroidery, but that works just fine for small lettering.
Chenille patches are old school, but they’re back in fashion, too. These fuzzy threads don’t show off detail well; where they shine are bold, colorful pieces with simple lettering or design.

LASER ENGRAVING
Laser engraving is a process that uses laser technology to engrave or burn a mark into the fabric of a garment or on the surface of a product. This technique is perfect for apparel or just products that are hard to decorate with other means. Laser engraving on fleece, polyester and microsuede items burns the top layer of the fabric resulting in a darker, tonal mark on the garment. The tone of the mark will vary based on the color of the fabric. Medium colored fabrics achieve a more distinguishable design than on darker or lighter fabrics.
