The Different Types of Graduation Stoles.

The 3 Most Popular Types of Graduation Stoles are Screen Print, Wet-Dye Sublimation and Embroidered. Now, we will go over each of them in a little more detail. 

Screen Printed Stoles

This is the best option if you are really in a hurry this is your best option. They look good and you can get them within 2-7 Business Days. When it comes to "Screen print" on stoles you are usually limited to 3 colors. 

Embroidered Stoles

Embroidery gives the stoles a rich, traditional feel. This works well for Academic Programs, Clubs & Greek Organizations. (These take approx 3-4 weeks). 

Wet-Dye Sublimation

Custom designed 5"x72" wet dyed stoles start with white fabric and use permanent dyes to create both the background colors & logos. With the ability to produce up to 8 colors, the wet dye process produces department store quality designs. This process is best for colorful designs & PMS Matches. (these take a real 4-6 weeks).

Fancy Add-Ons for your Stoles

There are options you can add-on to your stole to make it a true one of a kind.
