4 Imprinting Methods to Elevate Any Branded Campaign

When you think of headwear, you might conjure up images of traditional baseball or trucker caps, but it’s likely bandannas also rise to top of mind. While traditionally worn around the head in a variety of ways, these items can be donned beyond the head, providing the perfect promotional product for your customers’ campaigns.

Take that one step further and partner with Bandanna Promotions by Caro-line, who offers four imprinting options to create unique and creative products. The company sees bandannas as blank products ripe for customizing with fun artwork, logos, colors, and more. This kind of partnership is a guaranteed way to secure business and knock any branded campaign out of the park.

Imprint Option No. 1: Digital

Does your client need fine details or photographic designs? Look no further than the digital printing process. This versatile process involves printing an image directly from a computer-generated design file onto fabric with a large-format inkjet printer. Not only will it yield a full-color graphics with stunning details, but there are options.

Choose from three fabric constructions:

100% cotton
100% fine sateen cotton
Peachskin 100% polyester

In addition, you can also explore these artwork possibilities:

Full-color decoration
Photographic-quality graphics
Edge-to-edge graphics
Traditional square border layouts
Step-and-repeat logos

When you partner with Bandanna Promotions and opt for this option, there no extra fees for multiple colors, and you can provide clients with top-notch products that meet every need, regardless of complicated artwork.

Whether for a charity run, music festival, or sports leagues, this option will rise to the occasion. Minimums for digital printing are 72 pieces for bandannas and 144 for pet bandannas.

Imprint Option No. 2: Silkscreen

Let your customer’s campaign be seen with the silkscreen method. Silkscreen printing offers the largest imprinting area of all the methods used by Bandanna Promotions by Caro-line.

With this method, the imprint color is laid down on a dyed piece of cloth. While it doesn’t allow for edge-to-edge, there are other qualities that make silkscreen printing attractive:

Select up to six colors
18” x 18” print area
Can incorporate unique bordered designs with the company’s premade graphics and templates (open center, overprint, or edge-print options)

This printing method is done solely on 100% cotton and is great for product launches, banks or real estate companies, and even sports stadium giveaways. The minimum for silkscreening is 144 pieces.

Imprint Option No. 3: Rotary

Known for its super-soft feel, rotary printing meets the needs of those looking for color options and fast production. Rotary printing creates a softer bandanna because the eco-friendly, water-based pigment dyes are absorbed into the cloth. Plus, colors appear vibrant, making it doubly attractive.

What else do you need to know about this printing process?

It works for 100% cotton and 50% cotton/50% polyester
Works on 19” x 19” square designs
Edge-to-edge, step-and-repeat logos with custom PMS color background can be done

In addition to being an attractive option for those environmentally conscious customers, this printing process is ideal for:

Schools
Concerts and live events
Pet businesses (think groomers, vets, etc.)
Restaurants, bars and breweries

All you have to do is send in your client’s artwork to Bandanna Promotions’ creative team, and they’ll recommend changes needed to make your design work for edge-to-edge. Stop saying “No” and start saying “Yes” with this method. Minimums are 2,500 pieces for one to two colors; 5,000 for one to five colors; and 10,000+ for one to eight colors.

Imprinting Option No. 4: Duplex

Last but certainly not least, duplex printing brings the double-sided printing benefit. Designs are printed on the front and back of a bandanna with 100% color saturation on both sides. One thing to keep in mind: only a one- or two-color design works with this unique technique.

But that’s hardly a deterrent to opting in on it, especially with these other benefits:

It works for 100% cotton and 50% cotton/50% polyester
High-detail designs
Design is applied so skillfully by the printing cylinders that the result may be mistaken for a woven design

And you might be interested to know that Bandanna Promotions by Caro-line is the only domestic supplier of duplex printing, so they make a well-versed, experienced and unique partner when it comes to the technology.
This type of printing is attractive to a lot of different buying groups, such as summer camps, corporate clients, and even environmental groups. Minimums start at 5,000 pieces.

Your Made-in-the-USA Partner

All four imprinting methods demonstrate the company’s unique ability to partner and create just about any bandanna perfect for promotional campaigns. Not only does it offer a wide array of bandannas—everything from the traditional 22” x 22” to the extra-large Fashion-Danna and pet products—but the decoration methods are icing on the cake.

To top it off, Bandanna Promotions’ products are made in the USA, and have been for over 75 years, making them a reliable partner with deep roots in the industry. With supply chain problems continuing to plague the economy, they’re poised to be the solution.
