Impresión y Bordado de Prendas

As a custom garment printing and embroidery services manufacturer in China, we run every decoration technique your line needs under one roof. Artwork, garments and finishing stay in one factory, so your print or embroidery is confirmed on the same line that sews your bulk order — no shipping blanks to a third-party printer, no finger-pointing when something is off.

Nine decoration techniques under one roof

Our garment printing and embroidery services cover the techniques streetwear and casual brands ask for most. Every technique is sampled as a strike-off or sew-out for your approval before bulk production starts.

Screen printing

Plastisol and water-based screen printing for bold, durable graphics. The workhorse of garment printing — best for 1–6 colour designs on tees, hoodies and sweats.

Puff printing

Heat-reactive ink that rises off the fabric for a 3D effect. A streetwear staple for puff print hoodies, boxy tees and statement logos.

Embroidery

Flat, 3D and patch embroidery digitised in-house. We sew out your logo on actual fabric before approval, so stitch density and thread colours are confirmed — not guessed.

Rhinestones

Hot-fix rhinestone motifs set to your template, from small logos to all-over designs.

Heat transfer

DTF and heat transfer printing for full-colour, photographic artwork and small runs where screen setup is not economical.

Appliqué

Cut-and-sew fabric appliqué with embroidered edges — chenille, twill and felt options for a premium, tactile finish.

Garment dye

Piece-sewn garments dyed to your Pantone, including pigment dye for a lived-in, vintage hand-feel.

Acid wash

Acid wash and enzyme wash finishes for that broken-in streetwear look, controlled batch by batch so the effect stays consistent.

Distressing

Hand-finished distressing — grinding, ripping and fraying placed to your reference sample.

How to choose the right decoration method

The best process depends on more than the look. Artwork detail, fabric composition, colour count, order quantity, target price and the hand-feel you want all affect the recommendation. We review those variables before quoting, then show the proposed result on the actual garment fabric rather than a generic swatch.

Match the technique to the artwork

Solid logos and bold spot colours are usually strongest in screen print. Photographs, gradients and artwork with many colours are better suited to DTF or another heat transfer process. Embroidery gives small chest marks, monograms and patches a premium dimensional finish, while puff ink, chenille and appliqué create the tactile surface used in heavyweight streetwear.

Match the process to the fabric

Cotton jersey accepts most inks well, but stretch rib needs a flexible print system. Polyester can release dye into light-coloured graphics, so we test for migration before production. Heavy fleece needs enough print deposit to cover the textured face, while fine or lightweight fabric needs controlled embroidery density to prevent puckering. Seams, pockets and zips also affect which placements can run cleanly.

Plan combined techniques in the right sequence

A single garment can combine screen print, embroidery, appliqué and wash effects, but the production order matters. Garment dye and acid wash are normally planned before final decoration unless the artwork is meant to age with the garment. We map the sequence during sampling so heat, washing and hooping do not damage an earlier process.

Why brands source printing and embroidery from our China factory

Most printing and embroidery services work on blanks you ship to them. As a full-package garment printing and embroidery manufacturer in China, we cut, sew, print and wash in one place — which means lower cost per piece, one timeline, and one quality standard across fabric, stitching and decoration.

Strike-offs and sew-outs are photographed and measured before bulk. Printing is checked against your approved sample at in-line QC, and decoration defects are caught before packing, not after delivery.

Artwork, strike-offs and sample approval

Vector artwork in AI, EPS or PDF gives the cleanest separations for screen printing and the best edges for embroidery digitising. High-resolution PSD or PNG files also work for photographic transfers. Your tech pack should identify artwork width and height, placement from a fixed garment point, Pantone references and any special finish. If you only have a photo or reference garment, we can rebuild the production file and return it for confirmation.

Before bulk, screen-print artwork is tested as a strike-off and embroidery as a sew-out on the intended fabric. This is where we confirm ink opacity, colour, texture, stitch direction, density and backing. The approved decoration is then applied to the full garment sample so you can check scale and placement together with fit. Approval records stay with the production team as the standard for bulk.

Quality control for printed and embroidered garments

Print curing, registration and wash resistance

A print can look correct at the press and still fail after washing if the ink is under-cured. Operators record the process settings for the approved result and check colour registration, edge definition, coverage and surface contamination during the run. Where the artwork or fabric requires it, we stretch-test the print and run a wash check before releasing bulk production.

Embroidery tension, backing and clean finishing

Embroidery is inspected for skipped stitches, loose thread, thread breaks, uneven fill and fabric puckering. The backing and needle are selected for the fabric weight, not reused as a one-setting-fits-all recipe. Finished pieces are trimmed on both sides so connecting threads and excess stabiliser do not reach your customer.

Placement consistency and final inspection

Placement guides are set from stable reference points such as the centre front, shoulder seam or pocket edge. In-line checks compare bulk pieces with the approved sample, while final inspection catches marks, scorching, crooked placement and decoration damage before packing. Because decoration and garment production share one order record, a problem has one owner and one corrective action.

How to work with a garment printing and embroidery manufacturer in China

Send your artwork in any format — AI, PSD, PDF or a clear photo. Tell us the technique (or ask us to recommend one), the placement and the garment style. We return a decorated sample in 8–15 days together with your garment sample, so you approve fit and finish in one round.

MOQ starts at 50 pieces per style for most techniques; embroidery and screen printing scale down further for repeat orders. Bulk decoration runs on the same 24–30 day lead time as your garments — decoration never adds a second wait.

Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to embroider or print?

For small logos, embroidery and screen printing cost about the same at our MOQs. For large or multi-colour artwork, screen printing and heat transfer are cheaper per piece; embroidery prices by stitch count, so big filled designs cost more.

Screen printing or DTG — which should I choose?

Screen printing wins on price and durability above roughly 50 pieces and for solid spot colours. DTG and DTF suit photographic, many-colour artwork and very small runs. We quote both when the choice is close.

Can you match a print or embroidery from a reference garment?

Yes. Send the garment or clear photos; our workshop matches ink type, stitch style and placement, and confirms the match on a strike-off before bulk.

What is the minimum order for custom garment printing?

Our standard MOQ starts at 50 pieces per style. The practical minimum also depends on colour count, artwork size, fabric and technique because screens, embroidery digitising and machine setup have fixed costs. We will suggest a transfer process when it gives a small run a better result or price.

Can printing and embroidery be combined on one garment?

Yes. Common combinations include a large screen-printed back with a small embroidered chest logo, or appliqué lettering with embroidered edges. We confirm the sequence and total decoration thickness on the sample before bulk.
