Our Services

  • Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is the process we use to bring your custom apparel to life, and it’s not your average t-shirt printing method!

    Here’s how it works:

    We print your design onto a special transfer film using high-quality inks. That film is then coated with a powdered adhesive and heat-pressed directly onto your garment. Once pressed, the design bonds permanently to the fabric, creating a vibrant, durable print that holds up wash after wash.

    Why We Love It (And You Will Too)

    ✅ No Minimum Orders: Unlike traditional screen printing, DTF doesn’t require big batches, making it perfect for one-offs, small team orders, or personalized gifts.

    ✅ Incredible Detail & Color: DTF allows for full-color, photo-quality designs with fine detail and sharp edges that screen printing often can’t achieve.

    ✅ Soft, Flexible Feel: Our prints are smooth, breathable, and won’t crack or peel with wear.

    ✅ Versatility: DTF works on a wide variety of fabrics—including cotton, polyester, blends, and even darker materials.

     DTF vs. Traditional Screen Printing

    While screen printing is great for large, single-color bulk runs, it involves creating physical screens and setup for each color in your design, making it time-consuming and less cost-effective for small orders or detailed graphics.

    DTF skips all that. No screens, no mess, no high minimums, just fast, reliable, professional-quality prints every time.

  • Embroidery is the classic method of stitching your design directly onto fabric using thread, creating a timeless, professional look that’s built to last. At Teamside Threads, we use high-quality threads and modern commercial equipment to turn your logo, text, or artwork into a beautifully stitched design on hats, polos, jackets, workwear, and more.

     Why Choose Embroidery?

    • Professional & Polished Look

    Embroidery gives apparel a durable, high-end finish that instantly elevates your brand or team gear.

     • Perfect for Businesses & Teams

    Whether you’re decking out your staff in uniforms or creating merch for your sports team, embroidery holds up through wear and tear, making it ideal for long-term use.

    • Durability That Lasts

    Stitched designs won’t fade, crack, or peel like some printed methods. Embroidery is made to go the distance.

    • Great on Structured Items

    Embroidery shines on thicker or structured materials like hats, bags, jackets, and fleece, where printed methods may not apply well. 

    Embroidery vs. Printing

    While DTF printing is perfect for vibrant, full-color designs and soft tees, embroidery offers texture, dimension, and a long-lasting look that’s especially great for uniforms and premium gear.

  • Laser engraving uses a high-powered laser to permanently etch your design directly into the surface of a product. Unlike vinyl or printed graphics, engraved designs become part of the material itself, creating a clean, professional finish that won’t peel, crack, or fade over time.

    At Teamside Threads, we use precision laser engraving to customize drinkware, leather patch hats, cutting boards, gifts, awards, promotional products, and more—creating one-of-a-kind items for businesses, schools, teams, and special occasions.

    Laser Engraving vs. Printing

    While printed graphics add vibrant color to apparel and promotional products, laser engraving creates a permanent, engraved finish that offers texture, durability, and a premium appearance. It’s an excellent choice for businesses looking to elevate their branding or anyone wanting a personalized gift that will last for years.

  • Sublimation is a method of printing where full-color designs are heat-pressed into a product’s surface, meaning the ink becomes part of the item itself. It’s best used on polyester-based materials or specially coated hard goods and is ideal for vibrant, long-lasting personalized items.

    We love sublimation for its ability to bring creative, custom designs to life—especially on drinkware, keychains, bag tags, ornaments, and more!

    Why choose sublimation?

    ✅ Full-color, photo-quality results

    ✅ Won’t peel, crack, or fade over time

    ✅ Perfect for custom gifts, promo items & keepsakes

    Please note: Sublimation works only on white/light-colored polyester fabrics or polymer-coated items.
