When choosing a decorating method, it’s important to consider the substrate, what finish is necessary, placement of the decoration, the quantity required and how quickly the job needs to be turned around. Heat printing, also known as heat transfer printing, offers advantages in these key areas over other methods like screen printing or embroidery. Although heat printing has been around for decades, innovations in heat-applied materials and heat application machinery are making it more popular...

Laundry is a pretty tedious task. The washing, the sorting, the folding, the hanging. That's not even taking into account those of us who have to walk 15 miles in the snow, uphill both ways, to the closest laundromat! Wouldn't it just be easier if we never had to wash our clothes again? Yes, it…

Hey, guys. Brendan here. Just because Hannah has taken her talents to the Los Angeles Clippers to build a championship-caliber team with Kawhi, it doesn't mean that we can't still post some of our favorite promotional items we saw in the wild this week, right? Right! So, let's get down to it...

Since then, the most significant change to the uniforms was the switch to shorts in the early 1990s. But it looks like the times, they are a-changing for the company's 125,000 drivers...

It might be college football season, but there's a competition taking place off the field, and that's on apparel deals. Forbes recently revealed the top 10 most valuable college apparel deals, and UCLA is at the top of the list with its lucrative Under Armour apparel contract. The list used the average annual value of product and cash allowance to make its calculations. The product allotments are also measured at wholesale prices, since universities purchase large amounts of apparel at wholesale...

Readers, this is a very bittersweet Fave 5 for me. As usual, it was a week of awesome promotions catching my eye left and right. But, this is also my last installment of the Fave 5 series. (I won't cry if you won't.) I just want to say thank you to everyone who has read…
