Screen Printing / Silk-Screening
An image is transferred to the printed surface by ink, which is pressed through a stenciled screen. You must create a different screen for every color you are going to print and screen each color separately allowing drying time in between.

Embroidery
A design is stitched into fabric by high-speed, computer-controlled sewing machines. Artwork must first be "digitized;” which involves converting two-dimensional artwork into stitches or thread. The larger the logo the more stitches are used to embroider it, which makes the cost of digitizing more expensive. You can embroider as many colors as needed all at once.

Deboss
An image is depressed into a material’s surface, causing the image to sit below the product’s surface.

4-color Process
A color image is separated into 4 different color values using filters and screens (usually digital). The original color image is printed on a printing press with the colored inks, cyan (blue), magenta (red), yellow and black, reproduces the original color image. These four colors can be combined to create thousands of colors just as your computer printer does. This process allows all the colors to be printed at once, instead of one at a time with screen printing.

Laser (Engraving)
Art or lettering is cut into a material by a laser beam that vaporizes the portion exposed through openings in a template.
