Guides, comparisons and practical advice to help you choose the right workwear for your team and the right customization method.
Quick answers: which customization method should you choose?
In short: for most products and multi-colour logos, our choice is DTF printing. For a premium look on shirts, polos and fleeces, choose embroidery. We make the final recommendation based on the product and your logo.

Glow-in-the-dark threadGunold Glowy thread, for details that stand out after dark. Öko-Tex certified, with no loss of luminosity after 50 washes, according to the manufacturer.
Embroidery thread in several typesClassic, metallic, flame-retardant or glow-in-the-dark. We choose it according to the product and the result you want.
Twill and canvas patchesWe use only durable materials that keep their shape and colour over time.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions we receive most often.
Does embroidery or DTF last longer?
Both last a long time. DTF printing, done industrially with quality materials, holds up well to wear and washing. Embroidery is the most durable on products worn every day and gives a premium look.
Which customization method should I choose for my company logo?
It depends on the product, the material and how complex the logo is. As a rule we recommend DTF for hoodies, T-shirts, softshells and colourful logos, and embroidery for shirts, polos and fleeces. For very complex designs on cotton we can also use DTG. We will advise you when we prepare your quote.
What is the minimum order?
For company customization, the minimum order is 10 products. You can combine models, sizes and colours in the same order.
How long does delivery of customized orders take?
The estimated time is 7–10 working days after the mockup and the order are approved. For large quantities we confirm the deadline in your quote.
Can I see how my logo will look before production?
Yes. You receive a free digital mockup, and we start production only after you approve it.
Do you work with public institutions?
Yes. We are an active SEAP/SICAP supplier and prepare clear quotes, with prices excluding VAT, suitable for direct procurement.
