Decoration Methods
Music-Merch's extensive production process enables us to provide a multitude of decoration methods with no limit to our printing capabilities. Featuring in-house production, if Music-Merch can't decorate it, nobody can!
Screen Printing
Screen printing, also known as silk screen printing, is the most cost-effective method for large quantity print runs (around 50+ items) and works especially well with items like t-shirts and tanks. A complex design with many different colors requires different stencils for each color, so this decoration method is best for logos with 4 colors or less.
Heat Transfer (DTF or Vinyl)
Heat transfer, also known as digital transfer, is a great decoration choice if you are looking for affordable design options with unlimited colors. With decoration methods like embroidery and screen printing, you are using physical resources -thread and ink - to create a logo. This cost can be avoided with heat transfer, making it the most ideal decoration option for smaller orders.
Direct-to-Garment
Direct-to-garment, or DTG printing, is a method that sprays ink onto garments and is similar to printing on paper. DTG printing technique is an excellent option for those who want to add complex, multi-color designs on t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, and other similar fabric items.
Embroidery
Embroidered logos typically look best on polos, jackets, woven shirts, caps, and bags, but this is a truly versatile style of decoration. We've embroidered just about every style of apparel & accessory!
3D embroidery is used almost exclusively on custom hats and caps to give your logo or design depth and height. Outside of headwear, 3D embroidery is used on other heavy-fabric items like sweatshirts, hoodies, and workwear.

Laser Engraving
This decoration method creates sharp, crystal-clear logos that are unable to be peeled off. Ideal for items that get continuous use such as promotional pens, custom drinkware, and personalized tools.
Custom Patches
A custom patch is perfect if you’re looking to add some dimensional depth to your logo on a custom hat or if you want your logo to be able to withstand a beating without falling apart.
Foil Printing
Metallic foils have a glossy, polished finish and are a great way to make your logo pop on darker colored surfaces. Because ink is not involved in the process, the color of your desired surface will not impact the design.
Sublimation
Commonly used as a substitute for screen printing on smaller orders, digital printing also works well with logos that require a high amount of detail or are very graphics heavy. This is also a commonly used option for logos that contain a gradient, as the print can closely match the digital version seen on a computer screen. The garment must be polyester to sublimate.
Pad Printing
Pad printing is a very versatile decoration method, in that it can be applied to just about any product regardless of shape or form. This makes it especially useful on rounded surfaces like golf balls, pens, and water bottles.
