DECORATION METHODS
What decoration methods does Accent Logos offer?
We offer screen printing, embroidery, direct-to-film (DTF) printing, sublimation, laser engraving, and finishing.
- Laser engraving provides precise, permanent branding on hard goods like insulated drinkware, leather patches, and promotional items.
- Screen printing is ideal for bulk orders with simple designs and bold colors.
- Embroidery is best for a professional or corporate look on polos, hats, and outerwear.
- DTF printing is perfect for full-color, photo-quality, or complex designs on any quantity—including single pieces.
What is the difference between screen printing and DTF?
Screen printing is a traditional method that pushes ink through a mesh screen directly onto fabric. Because it requires extensive manual setup, restricts the number of colors you can use, and is rarely cost-effective anymore, we do not recommend it for most projects.
Instead, DTF (direct-to-film) printing is our preferred method for almost all printed apparel. DTF transfers a vibrant, full-color printed film onto the garment using heat. It has zero setup fees, handles highly complex or photographic artwork flawlessly, and is incredibly durable. Whether you need a single piece or a bulk order for an entire organization, DTF provides a better, more economical result without any of the old limitations of screen printing.
What is embroidery, and when should I use it?
Embroidery stitches your design directly into the fabric using thread, creating a textured, premium look. It is the preferred decoration method for corporate uniforms, polo shirts, hats, jackets, and workwear where a professional appearance is essential. Embroidery is durable, washable, and gives a high-end feel that printed methods cannot replicate. No minimum order is required.
What kinds of products can you decorate?
Everything from t-shirts and hoodies to hats, outerwear, jackets, tote bags, journals, bottles, and more. If you are looking for something specific that you don't see on our site, please reach out! We work with a broad catalog of garments and promo items and can almost always source what you need.
Can I print on sleeves or multiple locations?
Yes! Pricing depends on the specific design, artwork size, and total number of print/embroidery locations.
Do you offer eco-friendly ink options or sustainable garment choices?
Yes! At Accent Logos, we can print using water-based and discharge inks, which are more eco-friendly than standard plastisol inks. These options produce a softer feel and have a lower environmental impact. They are not our default, so please let us know when placing your order if you would like to use them.
We also offer a wide range of sustainable garment styles right in our catalog—including organic cotton, recycled fabric blends, and eco-conscious materials. Ask our team to help you select the best sustainable options for your project.
How should I care for my custom apparel?
To keep your custom items looking their best:
- For Screen Prints & DTF Prints: Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents. Hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat (high heat can damage prints). Do not iron directly on the print.
- For Embroidery: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Air dry when possible, or tumble dry on low. Avoid high heat and bleach. If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting and place a pressing cloth over the embroidery.
ORDER MINIMUMS & QUANTITIES
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Most of our decorated apparel products do not have a minimum order quantity. Exceptions include:
- Specialty / Supplier-Specific Blanks: Certain union-made products may require minimum order runs—ask us for specifics on your chosen brand.
- Promotional Items: Larger branded gifts can often start at 1 piece, but smaller giveaways or bulk items typically carry an MOQ between 12 and 100 units.
- Custom Patches, Woven Labels & Stickers: These generally carry a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.
Do you offer bulk discounts?
Absolutely. The more units you order, the lower your price per piece. We break down volume pricing tiers clearly in every quote.
Can I order just one piece?
Yes. We offer single-piece custom orders for embroidery and DTF printing with no setup fees. This is ideal for one-off gifts, samples, or individual team members who need a replacement garment. We will always recommend the best decoration method for your target quantity.
How do I place an order or get a quote?
You can order or request a quote in three easy ways:
- Use our online store/design tools to submit your graphics directly.
- Email us your artwork along with order details (quantity, garment types, sizes, and print locations) to get a custom quote.
- Contact our team directly to discuss your project.
For corporate accounts, school orders, or team uniforms, we recommend reaching out for a custom quote so we can tailor volume discounts to your exact order.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, e-Transfers, and corporate purchase orders for approved accounts. Payment is required before production begins. Contact our team for corporate account setup inquiries.
Can I bring in my own apparel?
Because we stand behind the quality of our decoration and must guarantee our print/embroidery processes, we do not accept outside or customer-provided garments. We carry an extensive catalog of blanks and will gladly help you find the perfect high-quality garment for your project.
CORPORATE, TEAMS & SCHOOLS
Do you work with businesses for corporate uniforms and workwear?
Yes! Corporate accounts are a core part of what we do at Accent Logos. We supply branded uniforms, workwear, polos, outerwear, and promotional products for businesses of all sizes locally and across Canada. We offer volume pricing, dedicated account management, and consistent reorder programs for seamless restocking.
Can you set up an online store for my team, school, or club?
Yes! Accent Logos builds and manages custom online webstores for sports teams, schools, clubs, charities, and corporate programs.
We set up a branded storefront where your members, parents, or employees can select their items, customize names/numbers where applicable, and pay individually online. We then handle order consolidation, production, and distribution/shipping. Contact us to get your online shop started!
How does webstore fulfillment work?
- For Standard Stores: We collect individual orders during your store's open ordering window. Once the store closes, we produce all garments in bulk and ship/distribute them together.
- For Year-Round Stores: We produce and ship items on an ongoing basis as orders roll in.
Can I sell promotional items in my webstore?
Yes, but because promotional items (like water bottles, mugs, or notebooks) carry minimum order quantities from suppliers, they usually need to be ordered in advance and stocked for your webstore. We can help you plan and budget for these items.
Do you make custom sports jerseys?
Yes! Accent Logos produces custom jerseys for hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, and other sports. We handle sublimated jerseys complete with player names, numbers, and team logos. Contact us directly for team jersey pricing and lead times.
