Textile Customization: Staying the Course on Sustainability!
At My Gift, there are eco-friendly promotional items for which we are particularly attentive to the origin and various manufacturing processes. Promotional clothing is one of them! Eco-friendly materials, sourcing, manufacturing, printing—the textile industry has undergone significant modernization in recent years to achieve ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets.
This is why in the field of customized textiles, we are committed to replacing T-shirts from the other side of the world with quality textiles manufactured locally.
Would you like to wear sustainable and unique promotional products? We offer clothing without compromising the environment. Custom manufacturing and eco-responsible production now go hand in hand. Fast fashion is out, ethical and sustainable fashion is in.
With this in mind, low-impact printing techniques such as digital transfer, screen printing, and embroidery play an essential, often overlooked role. Quality, durability, and aesthetics: each textile customization method has its advantages. Choosing the right textile printing technique is a criterion to consider if you want your garment to be part of sustainable and responsible fashion. Here is an overview of three low-impact textile customization techniques.
Textiles Customized by Digital Transfer
What is it? It is the most widely used method in the textile and luggage industry! It stands out as one of the most suitable methods for printing a wide variety of images on textiles.
How does it work? This customization technique involves using a special printer to transfer the logo or design onto a transfer sheet. Then, the sheet with your logo is heat-pressed onto the promotional garment using a professional press.
For what type of promotional textile? Highly precise, digital printing is also versatile. It can reproduce HD images and remain faithful to the vibrant colors of designs, whether logos or photographs. This process, technically more flexible than screen printing, is therefore recommended for customizing a small number of items. It is wash-resistant for guaranteed long-lasting quality.
Our advice: Use water-based inks certified free of harmful substances to wear your customized textiles with peace of mind.
Textiles Customized by Screen Printing
What is it? An ancient printing method, screen printing is the most economical and versatile process.
How does it work? Large printing machines allow ink to pass through like a stencil onto the textile to be printed. The color is transferred directly onto the product to be printed. Therefore, to achieve a multi-color result, multiple stencils must be used.
For what type of promotional textile? An ideal technique for printing on textiles, luggage, umbrellas, and flat plastic surfaces on materials such as cotton, jute, nylon, and polyester. Additionally, screen printing can be performed with water-based inks or environmentally friendly inks, making it an eco-friendly option for textile printing.
Our advice: Present us with your project for custom manufacturing of your screen-printed design. Our graphic designers will respond to all your customization requests! On the production side, we have selected the best partners for their proximity and commitment to low environmental impact production methods.
Textiles Customized with Embroidery
What is it? Our Swiss promotional products agency loves this one! Embroidery is the technique with the most eco-friendly manufacturing process and offers the most elegant finish for your customized textiles.
How does it work? Performed using digitally controlled embroidery machines, embroidery can contain up to 12 different thread colors.
For what type of promotional textile? This method creates raised designs that add a touch of sophistication to any garment. Embroidery is valued for its durability and long-term resistance, as the threads are securely attached to the fabric. Additionally, this technique offers a wide variety of colors and textures, allowing for creative customization of textiles. Due to its artisanal nature, embroidery can be considered the number one low-impact printing option, especially if environmentally friendly threads and materials are used.
Our advice: Add embroidered elements to your corporate gifts for elegant customization of your textile or luggage promotional items.
