  • Sewn-on Branding

  • Heat-pressed patches/transfers

  • Retail Barcodes & Hang Tags

  • Manufacturers usually affix their blank garments with removable (tear-away) size labels. We offer printed or sewn-in woven labels to replace these original manufacturer tags. For a premium finish, send us an art file of your brand’s unique printed label or let us know whether you need us to sew on your specially made woven labels.

    Some manufacturers are also in the business of elevating their product, which means they sew on their company branding. As an additional service, we can remove these sewn labels.

  • Got a cool patch? You could stamp your unique logo near the cuff of a long sleeve t-shirt…in the center of a chest pocket…matter of fact, you could deck out the entire blank space of your garment with any array of custom-placed patches and turn your apparel into a walking solar system of symbols if your heart desires!

    Unlike screen-printing, heat pressing lends itself to custom placement. Let us know where you want your patches placed, and we’ll countdown those seconds for you.

    Sound like your cup of tea? Click here…we like to keep our heat presses hot!

    Direct-to film (DTF) printing also involves using a heat press. Are you looking for 4k (as close as you’re going to get) resolution on almost any type of fabric? This is where direct-to-film really shines. Print on tote bags, gloves, polyester blends. To learn more head to our print methods page

  • Hangtags are an easy way to add marketing and/or instructions to your product without making them a permanent feature or otherwise interfering with creative decoration. They also prepare your product for retail purchasing with the use of SKUs and barcodes. We can attach hangtags to any location you choose (for example, below the inside neckline or in the armpit of a sleeve). Let us know whether you plan to provide your own hangtags or need us to source them for you :)

  • Folding and sealing your printed apparel inside of a polybag not only provides protection during storage and transport, it is also the proverbial cherry-on-top of a product which should impress. That extra step of having to pinch open the bag builds anticipation.

    When we polybag apparel, we include a size sticker for easy identification. Stickers containing a barcode, sizing, pricing, and/or SKUs can also be placed on polybags. If you send us a file formatted to 2’’ W x 1’’ H, we can print and apply these stickered barcodes as part of our fold & polybag service at no extra cost. Otherwise, send us your pre-made barcodes before we begin and we’ll slap them on for you!

    As a standard, we bulk fold printed apparel in bundles (free of charge), but if you need that extra-official appeal, let us know when placing your order.

  • Whether you need your product delivered to a fulfillment center in bulk, live events at multiple locations, or straight to each of your customers’ doors, we got you covered. If shipment logistics needs to stay in your hands, give us clear instructions on how your order needs to be packaged for pickup and consider the deed done.

    The key takeaway with our services at Cole Apparel is flexibility and a tailored approach to your business. Our interest is in cultivating long-term relationships, creating a seamless workflow between your team and ours.
