Custom hoodies are one of the most requested items at Arif Printing. Whether you're outfitting a sports team, creating branded workwear for your business, or making custom merchandise for an event, a well-made hoodie with your logo or design makes a lasting impression. This guide covers everything you need to know about ordering custom hoodies in Denver and Aurora, CO.
Custom Hoodie Printing Methods
There are three main ways to customize a hoodie: screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, and embroidery. Each has different strengths depending on your design, quantity, and budget.
Screen printing is the most cost-effective method for larger quantities (12+ pieces). It works best for bold, simple designs with 1–4 colors. The ink is pressed through a mesh screen directly onto the fabric, creating a durable, vibrant print that lasts for years. Screen printing is the go-to choice for sports teams, company uniforms, and event merchandise.
DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing uses a specialized inkjet printer to apply ink directly to the fabric. It's ideal for complex, multi-color designs and photo-realistic prints. DTG has no minimum order — we can print a single hoodie — making it perfect for small orders, samples, or one-of-a-kind pieces. The tradeoff is that DTG costs slightly more per piece than screen printing at high volumes.
Embroidery gives hoodies a premium, professional look. Your logo or text is stitched directly into the fabric using industrial embroidery machines. Embroidery is especially popular for corporate hoodies, university apparel, and high-end branded merchandise. It's more durable than printing and holds up exceptionally well through repeated washing.
