Your logo isn't the problem. The method under it is.
Cracked prints and peeling transfers come from the wrong method for the fabric and the wash routine. Here's how to choose.
Choosing a method
| Method | Best when | Detail | Durability | Fabric |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Embroidery | Logo on polos, caps, hoodies; premium feel | Medium | Highest | Any |
| Screen print | Bold artwork, 100+ pieces | Medium | High | Cotton, blends |
| DTF | Full colour, small runs, fine detail | High | Good | Any |
| DTG | Photographic art, very small runs | Highest | Medium | Light cotton |
| Sublimation | All-over prints, team kits | High | Highest | Polyester only |
| Puff / high-density | Streetwear texture | Medium | High | Cotton, terry |
Common mistakes
DTG on dark polyester
It won't hold. Use DTF or sublimation.
Cheap transfers on uniforms
Daily washing peels them. Embroider or screen print.
Tiny text in embroidery
Stitches can't resolve fine detail. Simplify or switch to DTF.
