Here are the available options for customising your jackets:
DTG
DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing for jackets is a top-notch option for adding detailed and vibrant designs to your outerwear. Unlike traditional screen printing, DTG lets you print full-colour designs directly onto the fabric, giving a soft, high-quality finish that lasts. This method is perfect for custom jackets, as it handles intricate artwork, gradients, and fine details without the hassle of setting up separate screens. Whether you're after personalised jackets, team gear, or promotional pieces, DTG printing ensures your designs stay sharp and durable, making it a go-to for modern jacket customisation in Australia.
Embroidery
Embroidery gives your custom jackets a crisp, polished look. Using industrial embroidery machines, we stitch your logo with durable, colourfast rayon threads that stand out beautifully against the jacket's fabric and withstand frequent washing and wear. Perfect for uniform jackets or thoughtful gifts, embroidery elevates your branding and gives an impression of high value, making it an excellent choice for both team apparel and retail items. The cost of embroidery depends on the number of colours and stitches in your design, but the professional finish is well worth it.
Screen Printing
Screen printing applies layers of ink to your jacket using a mesh screen for each colour in your design. While screen printing is a popular decoration method for many items, it’s less ideal for jackets with protective finishes or thicker materials like fleece. We recommend embroidery as the top choice for jackets due to its durability and professional appeal. However, screen printing can still work well for lighter fabrics and simpler designs.
Heat Transfers
Heat transfers are an economical and versatile option for customising jackets. This method digitally prints your design onto transfer paper, which is then applied to the jacket using thermal pressure. Heat transfers are ideal for achieving sharp, full-colour designs on the left or right chest of your jacket, making it a great choice for both small and large orders.
DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing
DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing is a newer and increasingly popular printing method, perfect for customising jackets. It involves printing a design onto a special film, which is then transferred onto the fabric using heat and pressure. DTF allows for full-colour, vibrant designs that are durable and flexible, making it ideal for various fabric types, including jackets. It's also a great option for small batches or complex designs without the need for expensive setup costs, making it a cost-effective solution for high-quality customisation.
Dye Sublimation
Dye Sublimation is a heat-based printing technique that works best on synthetic fabrics, such as polyester. The process involves turning solid dye into gas and embedding it directly into the fibres of the fabric. This creates a vibrant, long-lasting print that won't peel or fade over time. However, dye sublimation is limited to light-coloured fabrics, and it works best on smooth, polyester-based materials. While it’s perfect for creating full-coverage designs, it's not suitable for dark fabrics, making it less versatile than some other methods for jacket printing.
