## 18500 vs PC78H

They are close in weight and price. The [PC78H](/products/port-and-company-pc78h/) is our default because we stock it from SanMar's Reno warehouse and consider the fleece a little nicer. The 18500 wins on color count and on 5XL. Either prints the same on our press.

## Decoration options

Screen print (1 to 2 colors, front and back) is the usual pick for event, staff and merch tees. Left-chest embroidery is the usual pick for polos, hoodies and quarter-zips. Battle Born Clothing does both in its own shop in Yerington, NV. DTF transfers for small runs or full-color art are produced by a Carson City partner and pressed in our shop, quoted per job. See [decoration](/decoration/) for how each method holds up.
