Short answer: Sweatbands are usually made of elastic terry cloth. We print them with DTF transfer printing: the logo is printed on a film and transferred to the band with heat. This makes multicolour logos possible too. There are wristbands and headbands.
Sweatbands are a small promotional item with a big effect in sport: they are worn during training and show your logo with every movement.

| Type | Features | Good for |

| Wristband | Narrow or wide, worn singly or as a pair | Tennis, fitness, running events |
| Headband | Keeps sweat and hair out of the face | Running, team sports, campaigns |
How DTF printing works
DTF stands for Direct to Film. Your logo is printed in colour on a carrier film and then transferred to the sweatband with a heat press. The method reproduces several colours and gradients in one pass. It also suits smaller quantities. More about the methods in the article Printing techniques compared.
What to look for
- Print area: it is small; a symbol or short word works better than a long line of text.
- Colour: choose a logo that contrasts clearly with the band.
- Quantity: for teams, plan one pair per person.
