Poncho Decoration Methods

We offer a full range of decoration services — technical screen printing, water-based transfers, foil printing, embroidery, patches, and specialty finishing. For waterproof ponchos, our team recommends screen printing, transfers, and foil as the primary methods to preserve the waterproof integrity of the fabric.

Technical Screen Print

Bold, vibrant plastisol and waterbased inks designed to stand out on waterproof nylon. Best for large-scale advertising and making a lasting impression at events.

Water-based Transfers

Water-based and plastisol transfers bond to nylon and PVC-coated surfaces without cracking or peeling through use. Perfect for multi-color graphics.

Foil Printing

Heat-applied metallic and reflective foil for premium branding and high-visibility emergency gear. Ideal for rain ponchos and night events.

Premium Embroidery

Raised thread logos — available as a specialty option on select non-waterproof poncho styles and lined accent areas.

Custom Patches

Woven and embroidered patches applied with heat-seal adhesive for a rugged, retail-ready finish on specialty orders.

Custom Finishing

Specialty processes including color matching, custom dye, and heat-sealed finishes for a production-grade look.
