Ways to Decorate Casual Shorts
From classic screen printing to full-color DTG, we offer professional decoration techniques designed for every casual shorts fabric — fleece, jersey, mesh, nylon, and canvas.
Screen Printing
Bold, vibrant prints with excellent wash durability. Water-based and discharge inks deliver a soft hand feel on fleece and jersey shorts. Best for medium to large runs.
Embroidery
Raised thread logos for a premium, tactile finish. Small leg logos, waistband details, and pocket branding on structured fleece and nylon shorts.
DTG / DTF
Full-color digital printing for complex design, photographic details, and unlimited colors. Ideal for cotton jersey and fleece shorts.
Heat Transfers
Professional heat-applied graphics on mesh, nylon, and performance fabrics. No cracking, flexible — works on athletic surfaces where screen printing can't.
Finishing & Labels
Retail ready. Woven labels, interior prints, hang tags, and custom packaging for DTC brands and retail merch.
