Choose a Sweatshirt Design to Customize
These designs are starting points for your order. Choose one you like and add it to your enquiry cart. Tell us whether you want that design or a similar style with changes to the fabric, fit, colors, artwork, or branding.
Printing, Embroidery & Other Decoration Options
Choose the finish you want for your logo or artwork. You can combine methods, such as an embroidered chest logo with a printed back, where the fabric and layout allow. Send the artwork size and placement so we can review the details.
Flat Embroidery
Stitch the design directly onto the fabric for a textured thread finish.
3D Puff Embroidery
Stitch over foam to create raised lettering or shapes. It suits designs with enough space for the raised stitches.

Chain-Stitch Embroidery
Use linked loop stitches to form lettering, outlines, or filled designs.

Form a raised design in the fabric surface. The result depends on the material and design.

Crackle Printing
