Insights, Apparel Guides, and Custom Printing Resources for Real Businesses

Welcome to the Trick Threads Industry Blog — your go-to resource for custom screen printing, embroidery, and branded apparel insights across Colorado and beyond.

This blog is built for business owners, event organizers, schools, teams, nonprofits, and brands who want apparel that actually works in the real world — durable, professional, and designed to represent who you are.

Whether you’re ordering uniforms for a growing company, merch for resale, or shirts for a local event, our industry blog is here to help you make better decisions before you print.


What You’ll Find in the Trick Threads Industry Blog

Our blog covers real-world topics that matter to people ordering decorated apparel — not fluff, not sales hype.

Screen Printing Education

Learn how screen printing works, when it’s the right choice, and how to get the best results for your project.

Topics include:

  • When to choose screen printing vs embroidery

  • How many colors affect pricing

  • Best shirt styles for durability and comfort

  • How to order bulk shirts without wasting money


Embroidery Guides

Embroidery is one of the most professional ways to brand apparel — but only when it’s done right.

We cover:

  • Best garments for embroidery

  • Stitch counts and logo placement

  • Hats, polos, jackets, and workwear embroidery

  • Long-term durability for uniforms


Industry-Specific Apparel Insights

Different industries have different needs. A brewery doesn’t order apparel the same way a construction company does — and we know that.

Our blog includes apparel insights for:

  • Construction & trades

  • Restaurants & breweries

  • Hospitality & tourism

  • Schools & youth programs

  • Nonprofits & community organizations

  • Events, festivals, and fundraisers

Each article focuses on what works best for that industry, based on real orders we produce every day.

Why We Built This Blog

We created the Trick Threads Industry Blog to educate first and print second.

Too many businesses waste money ordering the wrong apparel, choosing poor garment styles, or working with printers who don’t explain the process. Our goal is to make sure you feel confident before you place an order.

Every article is written based on:

  • Real production experience

  • Actual customer projects

  • Apparel that holds up to real use

No guesswork. No generic advice.


Built for Businesses, Not Hobbyists

Trick Threads isn’t a hobby shop or a mass-market print website. We specialize in professional apparel for organizations that need consistency, quality, and reliability.

This blog reflects that mindset:

  • Practical guidance

  • Industry-specific recommendations

  • Honest explanations of pricing and production

  • Clear expectations on timelines and results
