The right personalization technique depends on the material and the use of the piece. In short: embroidery works well on textiles you want to look premium and last; DTF allows full color on fabric; and sublimation is ideal for polyester and mugs, also in full color.

Embroidery

Gives a premium feel and lasts a long time. Ideal for caps, polos, and corporate jackets. Works best with simple logos; fine gradients aren't its strength.

DTF (transfer)

Prints full color on fabric with good definition. Useful when the logo has several colors or details that embroidery doesn't resolve well.

Sublimation

Dyes the material (polyester, mugs, certain accessories) in full color, with no relief. Ideal for large, colorful designs on compatible surfaces.

How to choose

Think first about the material and how long it should last; with that, the technique almost decides itself. Compare options in apparel and uniforms or see how we work on personalization.

Frequently asked questions

¿Qué técnica dura más en un textil?

El bordado suele ser la más duradera y da una sensación premium, sobre todo en gorras y polos. Para logos a todo color, el DTF resuelve mejor.

¿La sublimación sirve para cualquier material?

No. Funciona mejor en poliéster, tazas y superficies compatibles, donde tiñe el material a todo color. Para algodón suele convenir DTF o bordado.
