Light Customization for Apparel
Add your logo or design to ready-made blanks--fast turnaround, low MOQ, and lower inventory risk.
What Is Light Customization?
Light customization means applying your logo or artwork onto finished blank garments using heat transfer--without starting from fabric selection and full development.
It's the fastest way to launch branded apparel with fewer development costs and less risk. Ideal for testing new designs or restocking best-sellers quickly.

Recommended Methods (Best for ready-made blanks)
For light customization on finished garments, we primarily recommend Heat Transfer because it is the most efficient and reliable method on ready-made blanks--ideal for small runs and fast turnaround.
Heat Transfer
DTF / Heat Press
Recommended. Best for finished blanks. Fast, flexible, and suitable for low quantities.
- ✓ Fastest turnaround time
- ✓ Works best on finished garments
- ✓ Ideal for small batches & complex colors
Screen Printing
Available for larger quantities
Ideal for higher quantities. For most screen printing setups, the minimum order typically starts from around 50 pcs per design.
Embroidery
Quantity & Garment Limits
Small-quantity embroidery is typically 50 pcs+.
Note on Finished Garments:
The stitching area must be single-layer and completely flat. It works well on zip jackets or button-up shirts, but challenging for hoodies/sweats, as they cannot be laid flat in a single layer.
Custom labels, hangtags, and packaging available
Add brand identity with inside labels, hangtags, and packaging solutions. Essential for Private Label clients.
