SWAGO CREATIVE is top notch. I needed uniform shirts, hats, and hoodies for my company. The owner contacted me immediately and we vibed instantly. From start to finish, they went above and beyond! Everything looks as promised and great quality. Swago has really set the bar.

Decoration Methods for Custom Apparel

Not sure which method fits your design? Send us your art and we will recommend the best option.

Screen Printing

Best for: Bulk orders of 12+ pieces with simple designs of 1–6 colors. Vibrant, soft-hand prints that last for years.

Most cost-effective for large runs. Plastisol or water-based inks available.

DTF Printing

Best for: Smaller runs, full-color photographic designs, and detailed artwork that screen printing cannot match.

Direct-to-Film transfers — unlimited colors, no setup fees, works on cotton, polyester, and blends.

Embroidery

Best for: Logos and small designs where premium texture matters — corporate apparel and elevated brand merch.

Best on pocket placements and chest logos. Combines beautifully with DTF for back hits.
