Getting the Best Results on Wholesale Blank Hoodies

Not all blanks decorate the same. This guide covers the most common decoration methods — screen printing, DTG, embroidery, and heat transfer — and how to choose the right blank for each.

01

Screen Printing

02

DTG (Direct to Garment)

03

Embroidery

04

Heat Transfer / Vinyl

01

Screen Printing

Works best on ring-spun cotton with a tight weave and flat chest area. Avoid fleece-heavy or brushed interiors that can push ink unevenly

02

DTG (Direct to Garment)

Requires high cotton content (80%+) for best ink adhesion. Pre-treat is essential. GSM affects bleed-through risk

03

Embroidery

Heavier blanks (300 GSM+) hold embroidery better with less puckering. Ensure the hoodie material is stable enough for hoop tension.

04

Heat Transfer / Vinyl

Compatible with most blends. Poly content improves transfer adhesion on some materials. Test
wash performance before bulk runs
