Collection: Print your apron – design your own apron now!

Personalized aprons are an ideal gift for everyone who loves to cook, bake or barbecue. Anyone who spoils their guests with passion, wields the barbecue tongs like a pro and enjoys decanting a good wine for friends is sure to be delighted by a one-of-a-kind piece. A personalized apron reliably protects the clothing worn underneath from stubborn, unwelcome stains, and at the same time expresses an individuality that an off-the-peg product can never achieve.

From funny to elegant

The range of options for designing an individual apron is immense. It depends entirely on your personality which style you prefer. With a humorous motif or a snappy personal saying on it, the apron becomes a canvas for every imaginable inside joke. A slightly embarrassing holiday photo, a snapshot from wilder days or an often-heard catchphrase provide plenty of laughs and encourage a relaxed mood. Elegant personalized aprons take a completely different direction. High-quality solid-color cooking aprons can be printed or embroidered with names or initials. Ornaments or letters made of Swarovski stones can also be applied to a classy cooking apron exactly as you wish.

Personalized aprons for children

When it comes to personalizing children's aprons, embroidering or printing the child's name on the apron is very popular. Not only does this help the child identify better with the practical garment, in larger groups of children the name is an important help for everyone involved. Whether an art course during the holidays, a cooking workshop or a new school class, the name on the apron helps children get to know each other faster. What's more, personalized aprons don't get lost at school or kindergarten, since the owner's name is written right across them.

Print or embroidery?

There are basically two different methods available for personalizing aprons. For lettering, names or initials, embroidery is the higher-quality option. Embroidered letters and lines are durable and colorfast. Even after many wash cycles, a high-quality embroidery thread barely loses any of its brilliance, so the embroidered lettering doesn't fade. The color of the background is irrelevant with embroidery, because the densely stitched thread always has full opacity. Here you can create high-contrast highlights with simple means that massively upgrade the look of a solid-color apron.

Printing is a different story. A common method for printing textiles with a name is flocking. A brightly flocked carrier material is transferred onto the fabric and firmly bonded to it. However, the flocking can come away over time or lose brilliance through frequent washing.

But if the personalized cooking apron is to carry not just a name but a complex, multicolored image, digital transfer printing is the method of choice. This process allows multicolored images in photo quality and works on any background color. If required, a white base coat is simply applied first, so that a bright, high-contrast image can be printed even on a dark apron.

A one-of-a-kind gift set

A personalized apron is the perfect foundation for a personal gift set. Here you can tailor everything to the tastes of the person receiving it. A special wine, a cookbook from a particular country, fine spices or exquisite delicacies. Cooking or barbecue utensils round off the gift set nicely too. There is no shortage of occasions for a present this personal: at Christmas, for a birthday or anniversary, or as a host gift at a dinner party. Couples' gift sets for weddings and similar occasions can also be put together wonderfully around personalized kitchen aprons for both partners.
