Services
Screen Printing
Professional screen printing for t-shirts, hoodies, and workwear. Ideal for bold designs and large volumes, our service ensures consistent, high-quality results with fast turnaround. We handle orders from small campaigns to thousands of items, using industry-leading equipment for vibrant, durable prints. Clients benefit from expert colour matching and Pantone support.
Custom Embroidery
Precision embroidery for logos, crests, and monograms on polos, caps, and hoodies. Our in-house team digitises designs and uses modern multi-head machines for sharp, long-lasting results. Perfect for uniforms, schoolwear, and promotional items, with options for flat or 3D stitching to suit different styles and requirements.
DTG Printing
Direct-to-garment printing for detailed, full-colour designs on cotton apparel. Suitable for small runs and photographic artwork, our DTG service produces soft-feel prints that resist cracking. We handle short-run merchandise, fashion lines, and bespoke clothing with expert garment selection and artwork preparation.
DTF Printing
UV DTF printing for vibrant, stretch-resistant transfers on cotton and polyester blends. Ideal for complex logos and low-volume orders, this method works on garments, bags, and technical fabrics. We support multi-garment branding and pre-production transfers for staged rollouts or uniform consistency.
Contract Printing
Scalable contract printing services for brands and resellers. We offer DTG, DTF, screen printing, and embroidery with white-label options including relabelling, swing tags, and polybagging. Our minimum order is 20 garments, with capacity for large-scale production and full finishing services.
