If this all sounds foreign to you, read on to learn a little more about two of our many offerings.
Tote Bag, Sweatshirt, and T-Shirt Screen Printing
Screen printing can be a great option to get your logo or design on fabric. If your desired image is large, detailed, and is comprised of four or fewer colours many would argue that screen printing is the absolute best way to go. This is even more true if you plan on screen printing sweatshirts or t-shirts in large quantities. It is without a doubt the most cost-effective when your project grows in size.
Further, screen printing can be done in virtually any colour and is a great method to choose to make your design extra vibrant on any colour fabric. From screen printing tote bags to athletic wear, GetBold has helped companies, organizations, schools, sports teams, bachelor/bachelorette parties, bar crawls, and countless other groups transfer their custom logos onto the surface of their choosing in the most affordable and stylish way possible.
Uniform, Sweatshirt, and Jacket Applique Designs
Many people may not recognize the word applique, but everyone has seen this style of design. In short, applique is when pieces of fabric are attached to garments with ornamental needlework to display a logo or pattern in a slightly three-dimensional design. You’ve likely seen this on collegiate sweatshirts and hockey jerseys where the letters or logos of the university or team are stitched to the sweatshirt or jersey fabric itself. Sweatshirt or jacket applique embroidery is a great option if you want the embroidered look but are hoping to save some money because the design you have in mind is a bit larger.
Applique designs tend to really stick out on a piece of fabric, making them an attractive choice for many. Applique embroidery is also more formal and elegant than screen printing and can be a good choice for more detailed logos in which classic embroidery is not an option. This type of design is not ideal for hats or t-shirts but is an excellent choice for sweatshirts, hoodies, uniforms, and jackets!
