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

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.
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
Whether you’re researching your first custom apparel order or planning your next large run of uniforms or merchandise, the Trick Threads Industry Blog is here to help.
