Our apparel serves as a blank sustainable canvas for organizations, events, brands, businesses, shops, and clubs, big and small. With our in-house wholesale customization capabilities, designs and embellishment options are virtually limitless to help you tell your sustainability story. We've highlighted some of the trending embellishment styles in the market and how they can help to showcase your brand, organization, or business.
Small front print, large back print
The streetwear look-inspired embellishment option remains one of the strongest looks in retail and branded merchandise. A subtle front logo print paired with a bold back graphic allows for a logo drop as well as visual storytelling through large artwork-heavy graphics.
Fleece with Appliqué
Appliqué is making a comeback, especially on fleece and varsity-inspired collections. Whether it’s a poly twill or sherpa appliqué, this embellishment style adds texture and dimensions to basics for an elevated decoration.
Quarter Zip with Embroidery
Premium branded quarter zips continue trending across collegiate, corporate, promotional, and lifestyle markets. A simple left chest embroidery gives a polished, elevated, and retail-inspired look while keeping the garment versatile for many wearers and lifestyles.
Tonal Looks
Tonal decoration (when the embellishment print color closely matches the garment color) continues to be a classic staple for retail and corporate markets. The tonal print offers subtle branding that is sleek and sophisticated. Our “Clear Ink” screen print option produces a color that is 1-2 shades darker than the fabric color.
Specialty Inks
Specialty inks such as puff and glow-in-the-dark are growing in popularity across collegiate, music merch, and resort markets. Puff ink creates a raised 3D texture when heat-cured, while glow inks add visual impact in low-light settings, helping elevate simple graphics, typography, and icon branding.
High-Detail Printing
Advances in printing technology now enable the creation of highly intricate designs through methods such as direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. This technique is ideal for producing complex graphics, including photographic images, watercolor textures, gradients, and vintage or distressed aesthetics.
Sublimation
Sublimation printing has rapidly become a game-changer in the world of apparel decoration, offering vibrant, lasting prints that stand the test of time. Decoration options can range from a 1 print location design to an all-over pattern print for total customization. This method of printing also allows for precise Pantone color matching, ensuring exact color accuracy in the final product.
Classic “Vintage” Screen Print
A classic front-center screen print remains a strong retail staple. Using a soft-hand ink with no underbase delivers a lightweight, breathable feel and a vintage-inspired look. This technique reduces ink coverage, allowing the garment's texture to show through for a more premium, worn-in aesthetic.
