How buyers usually narrow finish-led transfer materials
These routes are usually chosen by handfeel and surface effect first, then by stretch, durability and price sensitivity.
Choose the handfeel first
PU stays clean and practical, flock adds a soft tactile surface, glitter pushes decorative shine and foil moves toward metallic contrast.
Check stretch and wear need
Uniforms, activewear and repeat programs usually care more about flexibility and wash behavior than one-time visual impact alone.
Match the effect to the artwork
Simple logos, names and numbers often start with PU, while fashion or promo graphics may justify flock, glitter or foil instead.
Quote shortcut
Quote shortcut: if the buyer says clean logo, PU is usually the baseline. If they ask for softer touch, sparkle or metallic shine, move sideways to the nearby route before quoting.

What to send for a faster quote
Finish-led material pages quote faster when the garment type, finished size, color preference, quantity and target delivery date are sent with the artwork.
Artwork & finished size
Vector artwork is best, but a clean logo, mockup, sketch or product photo is enough to begin review.
Quantity & target date
Tell us the sample quantity, bulk quantity and deadline so we can judge MOQ, tier pricing and production timing.
Fabric or application surface
Share whether the design goes on T-shirts, hoodies, caps, bags, uniforms or other materials so we can judge compatibility.
Target market & shipping
Add shipping country, target price and whether you need a free sample pack first or direct custom sampling.
