AOP, DTG, or Embroidery? Your Options - All Under One Roof

If you’re running a small brand, you know that product quality and reliable production can make or break your business. Choosing the right customization method matters — and working with a partner who handles everything in-house makes it simpler.

At Caspar Create, we offer three core printing and decoration methods — AOP, DTG, and embroidery — all produced internally. From cutting, printing, and sewing to packing and shipping, everything happens under one roof. No outsourcing. No unnecessary steps. No delays.

Here’s a guide to help you decide which method fits your brand best.

1. AOP (All-Over Printing)

Best for: Seamless patterns and full-coverage designs

How it works: Designs are printed on fabric rolls before cutting and sewing. This allows edge-to-edge prints with no white lines or placement limits.

Recommended for:

• Tote bags

• Blankets

• Pillowcases

• Many home and fashion products

With AOP, you can go big on your designs because everything is cut and sewn in-house. Templates or stock shapes won’t limit your creativity.

2. DTG (Direct-to-Garment Printing)

Best for: Center-placed graphics, quotes, logos

How it works: Artwork is printed directly onto finished garments like T-shirts and hoodies using the Kornit Atlas Max DTG machine with high-resolution inkjet technology and water-based inks. The result is soft, clean, and durable prints that work best on cotton blends.

We print on Stanley/Stella garments — premium, organic cotton trusted by ethical brands across Europe.

DTG is ideal for:

• T-shirts

• Sweatshirts

• Tote bags

• Kidswear

It’s perfect if you’re testing new designs or running a print-on-demand shop with fresh weekly drops.

3. Embroidery

Best for: Logos, initials, minimalist graphics

How it works: Designs are stitched directly into the fabric, creating a raised, premium finish that is durable and eye-catching. We use Sensa Green™ sustainable Lyocell embroidery thread — soft, strong, and produced with reduced water and energy usage.

Embroidery works on:

• Beanies

• Hoodies

• Tote bags

• Shirts

• Tank Tops 

It adds a high-end touch to your brand identity, ideal for merch, uniforms, or brand-focused collections.
