Why it works
Premium look: Dimensional thread signals quality and credibility.
Built to last: Won’t crack or peel; stands up to frequent laundering.
Brand consistency: Uniform placements/colors keep teams on-brand.
Higher perceived value: Gifts and uniforms get worn longer = more impressions.
Team pride: Matching gear boosts morale and trust with customers.
Where it shines
Front-of-house & sales: Left-chest polos, add a quarter-zip for layering.
Field crews: Moisture-wicking polos/work shirts; caps or beanies.
Healthcare: Scrubs and warm-ups with tone-on-tone stitching.
Hospitality & retail: Aprons, oxfords, seasonal hat programs.
Schools & nonprofits: Spiritwear hoodies, caps, coach jackets.
Design tips
Keep text ≥ 0.25" tall; simplify tiny details.
Use strong contrast or a white underlay on dark garments.
Left chest (3.5–4") is the standard; center-front for caps.
Consider 3D puff for simple hat logos.
Polyester thread for durability; specialty threads for effects.
Programs that pay off
Uniform refresh with standardized SKUs/placements.
Onboarding kits (polo + quarter-zip + cap).
Simple Online Stores for staff, fans, or donors—no inventory risk.
Tiered gifting by audience value.
Care & ROI
Wash according to the garment's instructions, don’t iron directly on the stitching. Logo puckered? Place Teflon over the logo and iron out.
One-time digitizing fee covers your setup.
Volume pricing + long garment life = low cost per impression.
