Your Go-To Guide for Creating High-Quality Custom Apparel with Vivaltees

🧵 Embroidery vs. DTG Printing: What’s the Difference?

Embroidery involves stitching thread into the fabric, creating a textured and durable design. Ideal for logos and simple graphics.

DTG (Direct-to-Garment) uses inkjet technology to print high-resolution, full-color designs directly onto fabric—perfect for detailed and colorful artworks.

👕 T-Shirts Customization Guidelines

Max embroidery area:

Front chest: 4" × 4" (10.2 × 10.2 cm)

Best for: Logos, initials, small icons

Keep it simple: Avoid fine gradients, thin lines, or small text (minimum 0.25" tall)

👚 Hoodie Customization Guidelines
✅ Embroidery on Hoodies

Max embroidery area:
