At Keepsake Dubai, we believe that every custom piece tells a story — and choosing the right customization method is key to bringing your vision to life. Whether you’re looking for vibrant prints, durable designs, or textured finishes, we’ve got a variety of techniques to suit your needs. Here’s a friendly guide to our customization methods:
Direct-to-Film (DTF) Printing​
DTF is a versatile method where your design is printed onto a special film and then transferred onto the garment. This technique works well on various fabric types and offers vibrant, durable prints.
Best for:
- Full-color artworks​
- A wide range of products and materials​
- Designs requiring high durability​
Screen Printing
A classic and cost-effective method, screen printing involves creating a stencil (or screen) for each color in your design and applying layers of ink to the garment. It delivers vivid, long-lasting colors, making it ideal for bulk orders.​
Best for:
- Bulk orders​
- Designs with solid, spot colors​
- Simple graphics without gradients​
Dye Sublimation Printing
This technique uses heat to transfer dye directly into the fabric, resulting in vibrant, all-over prints that are part of the material itself. It’s perfect for creating seamless, edge-to-edge designs on polyester fabrics.​
Best for:
- All-over prints​
- Polyester garments​
- Designs requiring rich, vibrant colors​
Heat Transfer (Vinyl Cutting/Printing)​
Heat transfer involves cutting your design from colored vinyl and using heat to adhere it to the garment. It’s great for bold, single-color designs, names, or numbers, especially on sportswear.
Best for:
- Personalized names and numbers​
- Simple, bold designs​
- Smaller quantities​
Embroidery
For a touch of texture and sophistication, embroidery stitches your design directly into the fabric using colored threads.It’s durable and adds a premium feel to items like polos, caps, and jackets.​
Best for:
- Logos and monograms​
- Corporate wear and uniforms​
- Durable, professional finishes​
3D Embroidery
Also known as puff embroidery, this technique adds dimension by raising the embroidered design, creating a standout, tactile effect.​
Best for:
- Bold logos and designs​
- Caps and hats​
- Making your design pop—literally!​
