Custom Logo Hats and Apparel for Los Angeles Brands: Choosing the Right Transfer Method

At Star Hats and Embroidery, we specialize in helping Los Angeles-based businesses produce premium custom hats and apparel using industry-leading transfer technologies: full-color print, sublimation, and silicone transfers.

Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect option for your brand. 

1. Full-Color Print Transfers 

Full-color print transfers use high-resolution printing to produce vibrant designs on a special transfer paper, which is then heat-pressed onto the item, such as a trucker hat, cotton t-shirt, or canvas tote bag. These transfers allow for photorealistic graphics, gradients, and multicolor customized logos, perfect for capturing attention on social media, in stores, and on the street.

2. Sublimated Transfers  

Sublimation is a process that uses heat to transfer dye directly into the fabric fibers. With the rise of health, wellness, and athleisure brands in LA, sublimation is the go-to for custom logos on performance apparel, workout gear, and baseball hats that look sharp and stay lightweight. Because the dye bonds directly into polyester fabrics, there’s no peeling or cracking.

3. Silicone Transfers  

Silicone transfers are made by molding silicone-based inks into custom shapes or logos, which are then heat applied to garments, such as hoodies, sweatpants, and hats. They create a flexible, raised 3D logo with a rubbery feel—ideal for Los Angeles-based streetwear and lifestyle brands looking for a premium and sporty look.
