Embroidery or DTF printing: choosing a finish for your logo

Begin with the artwork and the garment

A company logo has to work on a moving, textured surface. Start with the garment you want your team to wear, then consider the size of the artwork, the amount of small lettering and whether it contains gradients or fine lines. A finish that suits a simple chest emblem may need a different approach for a larger back design.

Share the original artwork with the Sungrace team before confirming production. The preview helps you compare positions and proportions; the final production artwork still needs review.

When to discuss embroidery

Embroidery creates the design with thread. It is an option for a compact company emblem or name on polos, corporate shirts and other team garments. Small lettering and closely spaced details may need adjustment so the design remains readable in stitches.

Embroidery costs ₹50 per chest position and ₹100 for the back, per garment. Sleeve embroidery costs ₹50 per sleeve on polos and T-shirts. Sweaters are embroidery-only. Polos and T-shirts offer sleeve positions as well as chest and back options. Garment cost, GST and delivery are confirmed alongside the decoration.

When to discuss DTF printing

DTF means direct-to-film printing: the design is printed onto a film and transferred to the garment. Discuss it when your artwork contains several colours or a larger graphic. Ask the team to review the design size and the fabric before choosing the finish.

DTF costs ₹50 per chest position and ₹100 for the back, per garment. DTF is unavailable on sweaters and sleeve positions. You can choose embroidery for one chest or back position and DTF for another. Each charge is confirmed before payment.

Prepare a useful preview

Upload a separate PNG, JPG or WebP for each selected position, up to 8 MB per file. A transparent PNG avoids a rectangular background around your logo. Use a clear source file rather than a screenshot of a small logo.

Left and right refer to the wearer’s sides. Rotate the 3D garment to review the front, sides and back. Adjust the position and size, then inspect the design at a useful viewing scale. Embroidery and print effects on screen illustrate the intended finish; they are not production proofs.

Confirm before placing a bulk order

Ask the team to confirm artwork readability, decoration method, garment shade, placement and final charges. Where detail or colour is particularly important, discuss a sample before approving bulk production. Keep the approved artwork and order specification for future repeat orders.
