Screen printing is one of the most popular methods for printing hoodies. It involves creating a stencil (or screen) and using it to apply layers of ink onto the printing surface.
This method is best for large orders with relatively simple designs, as it is cost-effective for bulk printing and provides vibrant, durable prints.
Screen printing is known for its longevity, vibrant colors, and high-quality finish. It works best on cotton and cotton-blend hoodies[1].
| Feature | Screen Printing | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Low per unit (bulk) | Large runs of simple designs |
| Durability | Very durable | Long-lasting prints |
| Detail | Moderate | Large bold designs, logos |
| Setup Cost | High (per design) | Bulk orders |

DTG printing uses a printer similar to an inkjet to print images directly onto the fabric. This method is ideal for small batches with intricate designs and vibrant colors.
DTG is best suited for small orders or designs with many colors and details, as there are no setup costs associated with each new design.
DTG offers high-quality, full-color prints, and is great for photo-realistic designs. However, it may not be as durable as screen printing, and is typically best on 100% cotton fabrics.
| Feature | DTG Printing | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Higher per unit (low MOQ) | Small runs with complex designs |
| Durability | Good | Vibrant prints, but less durable than screen printing |
| Detail | High | Complex artwork, photos |
| Setup Cost | None | One-off designs |

Embroidery involves stitching designs directly onto fabric with thread. It is a high-end method for adding logos, names, or small designs to hoodies.
Embroidery is ideal for premium designs, corporate logos, or personal names. It’s particularly suited for small patches or logos on hoodies where a high-quality, durable finish is needed.
Embroidery adds a professional touch to your hoodies. However, it can be more expensive than printing for small orders, and is less suitable for large, colorful designs.
| Feature | Embroidery | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | High per unit | Small designs, logos |
| Durability | Very durable | Long-lasting, high-end finish |
| Detail | Moderate | Small logos, text |
| Setup Cost | High | Small orders with complex designs |
