Custom Shirts, Uniforms & Team Apparel
T-shirts, polos, hoodies, long sleeves and caps — decorated with the method that fits your design: embroidery, DTF printing, sublimation or heat transfer vinyl. One local shop, start to finish.
Custom apparel means garments decorated with your logo, names or design. The right decoration method depends on the artwork and the garment: embroidery for durable logos on polos and caps, DTF printing for full-color designs on any fabric, HTV for names and numbers, and sublimation for all-over prints on light polyester. Crafty Media handles all four in-house in Westlake, FL.

When it’s not the right choice
Sublimation only works on light-colored polyester, and embroidery isn’t ideal for photo-style artwork — which is exactly why we pick the method per project instead of forcing one process on every order.

Custom Apparel FAQ
Which printing method is best for custom T-shirts?
For full-color designs on cotton or dark shirts, DTF printing is usually best. For simple one- or two-color text, names and numbers, HTV works well. For all-over designs on white or light polyester shirts, sublimation is ideal. For logos on polos and caps, embroidery looks the most professional.
Do you make uniform combos for businesses?
Yes. We put together uniform combos such as a polo with a matching embroidered cap, a T-shirt plus cap, or a long sleeve plus cap, so your whole team looks consistent. Tell us your team size and preferred garments for a quote.
Can I order shirts with different names or numbers on each one?
Yes. Individual names and numbers are usually done with heat transfer vinyl (HTV) or DTF, so each piece can be personalized within the same order.
Can I supply my own shirts?
Often, yes — ask us first. We’ll confirm whether the fabric works with the decoration method you want before you drop them off.
