Finishing services are additional decorations or modifications to your order for the purposes of private labeling or packaging. Private labeling your products can result in a customer viewing your brand as higher-end. This can be a fun, optional addition to merchandising projects, large family gatherings, promotional products, and more, but it is almost mandatory for industries such as clothing and lifestyle brands. There are some exceptions to the clothing brand rule, such as if you are printing on popular branded blanks like Comfort Colors, Shaka Wear, and other streetwear-friendly brands. In most cases, however, you don’t want to make it apparent to your customers that you are re-labeling mass manufactured blanks.
Printed tags are the most common way to brand your tees. Printed tags are screen printed the same way you’d screen print any other location. Our tags must be a single color, so we usually recommend using gray ink depending on the color of the shirt. Black, white, and custom colored inks are also common. Keep in mind that you'll need a color that will stand out from the color of your garment.
Heat press tags are transfers made by screen printing a flipped version of the design onto a special type of paper, coating it in an adhesive powder, then using a heat press to transfer the design onto the garment. If custom tags are requested on hoodies or other fleece garments, we require them to be heat press tags as printed tags will not print well on fleece. However, heat press can be a great choice for any other garment type if you want your tags to be 100% opaque. Heat press tags also need to be a single color, so we usually recommend a gray depending on the color of the shirt. Black, white, and custom colors are also common.
Our fold & bag service is that final touch to give your brand a polished look, as well as making your garments easier to organize and handle while still keeping that crisp fold intact. Each garment is neatly folded and carefully placed into a clear polybag then marked with a size sticker. You can also opt out of the bag and choose our Fold Only service.
Hem tags, or woven labels, are fabric labels with your design woven into or printed on them. They come in a variety of sizes, colors, and shapes, and can be sewn in the location of your choice such as in the neck, over the hem, or on the end of a sleeve. Woven labels are a great high-end way to brand your product. The best hem tag designs include brand colors, your logo, and your company name. Depending on quantities, it's not usually cost effective to use these tags to display sizes.
Hang tags are typically a paper stock, plastic, or cardboard tag attached to the garment with a plastic binder, safety pin or other method. They're great for private labeling or advertising your website, sales, or product features. They can be applied near the neck, under the armpit, or at the end of a long sleeve.
