Personalization: methods, lead time and how to choose
UTC personalizes uniforms with DTF (Direct to Film), embroidery, screen printing, and screen print transfers, so you can add your logo, team member names, or other branding details. All customization is done entirely in-house.
How long personalization takes
For orders with personalization, the production time is 2 to 3 weeks from the moment your order is confirmed. Shipping time is additional and depends on your location.
Which method is right for you
| DTF | Embroidery | Screen Printing | Screen Print Transfers | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Small runs, detailed & gradient designs | Hats, polos, jackets | High-volume orders (250+ units) | Small/medium runs, versatile surfaces |
| Colours | Full colour | Up to 15 thread colours | Monochrome | Multiple colours (Pantone inks) |
DTF prints a full-colour design onto a film that is then heat-pressed onto the garment. It is great for detailed or multi-colour artwork and works on almost any fabric.
Embroidery stitches your design directly into the fabric using thread. It creates a premium, textured look and is best for hats, polos, and jackets.
Multiple logos
Yes. We are happy to accommodate your personalization needs with multiple decoration areas on one piece.
