If your customer sits in one of these categories, this is the transfer to quote them. If not, scroll to the alternatives below.
Embroidery shops offloading short runs and one-offs that would blow the digitizing budget on a real stitch file.
Corporate apparel programs branding polos and fleece jackets where the customer expects a stitched look.
Hat decorators running Richardson 112 fronts with photographic or crest artwork that thread cannot resolve.
Boutique brands running a retail drop that competes with heritage-brand embroidered apparel at half the cost.
Restaurant and hospitality staff uniform programs where dimensional branding sets the brand apart from a flat screen print.
This is where we tell you not to buy. If any of these fit your program, the alternative in the callout is the smarter quote.
High-volume embroidery programs above 500 pieces per style
Real embroidery amortizes the digitizing fee across the run and undercuts fauxbroidery on unit cost past that volume.
Flat, cheaper for large-volume flat branding.
Athletic team names on performance polyester jerseys
The 0.5 to 0.8 mm relief cracks under the stretch demands of active athletic apparel.
Full stretch tolerance for athletic jerseys.
Fine-detail small text under 6 pt
The dimensional cure smooths detail below 6 pt. Faux embroidery is a mid-scale detail medium, not micro-text.
Fine text renders sharp at any reasonable size.
Fauxbroidery is a raised UV process pressed with a hat press or clamshell. It bonds well to the substrates that traditionally receive real embroidery.
Presses cleanly on
Structured Richardson 112 and snapback fronts
Press at 280 to 300°F for 15 seconds, firm pressure on a curved platen.
Piqué polos, cotton and cotton/poly
Left chest branding, mirrors traditional embroidery placement.
Cotton fleece and heavyweight sweatshirt front panels
Full-back and left-chest logos on retail apparel.
Denim jackets and workwear canvas
Chest and back branding that reads like heritage embroidery.
Avoid or approach with care
Ultra-thin performance jerseys under 4 oz
The dimension is too heavy for the fabric weight, reads as a lump.
Waterproof shells and DWR-treated outerwear
The UV adhesive skips on the DWR coating.
Fauxbroidery is our raised UV platform, tuned for embroidery-grade dimension. UV-curable acrylate ink is deposited in layered cure passes, with a final stitch-pattern texture pass applied during cure.
Build height: 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm of tactile relief, consistent across the print area.
Surface: stitch-pattern texture applied during the final cure pass, reads as satin-stitch embroidery.
Bond: heat-press activated polyamide adhesive on a carrier film. Sew-on backing available on request.
Wash durability: 40-plus industrial cycles when pressed correctly, cold water, inside-out.
Genuine tactile dimension. Feels like a slightly rubberized raised surface with the visual signature of dense satin stitch. Not thread, but not flat.

Every decoration decision is a tradeoff. Here is how this product stacks up against the products you would compare it to in a quote conversation.
Alternative
You want a discrete patch shape with a clean die-cut edge, not a full-artwork embroidery look.
View RaisedAlternative
You want a flat photographic print on the same fabric families. Faux is dimension, DTF is flat CMYK.
View CustomAlternative
You want a rubberized retail branding accent, not a stitch-pattern embroidery texture.

Frequently Bought Together
Fauxbroidery replaces embroidery on runs where hoop count would blow the deadline. These three round out the pitch.
“For the full-color companion pieces on the same order. Fauxbroidery is the front, DTF is the back.”
“Customers do not believe fauxbroidery until they touch it. Send the specimen kit first.”
“Different texture, same 'embroidery-adjacent' pitch. Layer both for a premium tag.”

Recommended Alternatives
Here is what to grab instead, and why. We would rather send you to the right product than watch you bounce to a competitor to compare.
Puff DTF Transfers
from $0.95/sq in
Best for retro logos and vintage tee programs
Prefer this if you want a heavier raised feel. Puff sits taller than fauxbroidery, embroidery-adjacent but bolder.
Custom DTF Transfers by Size
from $0.06/sq in
Best for short-run apparel and full-color designs
Choose this if the customer will accept a flat print. Standard DTF is 40% cheaper and presses faster.
Luxury Branding Transfers
from $0.75/sq in
Best for premium boutique and retail apparel programs
Prefer this on premium apparel where the tag is the pitch. Luxury transfers have the highest-perceived hand.
Every Golden DTF order carries the same written guarantee. Email us within 14 days with your order number and a photo, a production lead reviews it within one business day, and approved reprints ship free with tracking. You never re-upload and never re-pay.
If the printed transfer does not reproduce the file you uploaded, allowing for the difference between a backlit screen and printed ink, we reprint it. We calibrate our press against the same target ICC every day and keep a press log for every run.
White ink dropouts, thin black lines that did not lay down, or missing detail from a small text run: if it left our shop that way, we reprint it.
If the PET film separates before you press the transfer, that is a materials defect, not user error. We track film lot numbers per production run.
If our team packed the wrong artwork or produced at the wrong size, we cover the reprint plus the reship.
Upload your design, see your price by the square inch, and get your transfers on the truck the same business day.
