Custom embroidery adds weight and permanence to your design. It’s stitched into the shirt instead of printed, which makes it ideal for brand logos, staff names, or uniforms.

• Durable, with thread that won’t fade or crack over time
• Adds texture and depth that shows clearly on thicker shirts
• Used for professional uniforms, merch, or identity-based pieces
• Most effective on heavyweight tees or polos

If your custom T-shirts in San Diego are meant to last and represent something long-term, embroidery is the method that holds up the best.

DTG printing is made for designs with detail, texture, or color variation. It prints directly onto each shirt, which makes it a strong fit for small runs or full-color artwork.

• No minimums, which works well for one-off or limited designs
• Handles gradients, photo-based art, and soft detail
• Feels light on the fabric, not thick or stiff
• Best for cotton shirts with a smooth surface

• Let's you print on sleeves, seams, or non-standard placements
• Works on cotton, polyester, and blends without issue
