What Are Some of the Ways to Customize Apparel?

Apparel Customization

There are many ways to customize apparel! Here are a few:

  • Screen printing: This is the process of applying ink onto a garment through a stencil or mesh screen. It’s great for large designs and bold colors.
  • Embroidery: This is the process of stitching a design onto a garment using thread. It’s great for smaller designs and logos.
  • Heat transfer: This is the process of applying heat to transfer a design onto a garment. It’s great for small orders and intricate designs.
  • Direct-to-garment printing: This is the process of printing an image directly onto a garment using inkjet technology. It’s great for full-color designs and small orders.

Pricing Apparel Customizations – Embroidery

  • Embroidery pricing is based on several factors such as stitch count, design size, number of colors, stitch length, order quantity, etc.
  • Other factors include unpacking, handling special garments (zippers, heavy garments for example), packing, bagging and thread changes.
  • Once you define your formulas, you can enter these formulas into InStyle, and we will calculate the cost of your customization automatically and add it to the quote or order.
  • The cost will be a combination of fixed costs (cost per unit such as packing or unpacking), variable costs (based on stitch count and order quantity) and costs that depend on the type of garment that the embroidery is going to be done on.

  • The cost will be a combination of fixed costs (cost per unit such as packing or unpacking), variable costs (based on color count and order quantity) and costs that depend on the type of garment that the screen printing is going to be done on, for special handling.
  • You can define multiple formulas, and use different formulas depending on the source of the garments (are you providing the t-shirts or is the customer providing the hats, etc.).
  • You may also define different formulas for different customers, that take into account not just the order quantity, but global volume and the importance of this customer to your business.
