Our Services
We offer a range of services to cater for all your printing and embroidery needs. From Vinyl Printing to Screen Printing, Embroidery, and DTG Printing, we have the expertise and equipment to deliver high-quality products that meet your requirements.
Vinyl Printing
Vinyl Printing, also known as Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) printing, is a process where a PU-free Vinyl Heat substrate is fed through a machine and is cad cut. The designs are created in a design program called Corel Draw. The design is then cut in reverse, weeded to reveal the design. It is then applied to the garment/product using an industrial heat press under a strict time/pressure setting. A major advantage of vinyl printing is that there aren't any setup costs involved, allowing for short print runs at a very reasonable price. It is also very versatile and can be used on virtually all types of products including T-Shirts, polo shirts, work shirts, bags, caps, workwear, and lots more.
Screen Printing
In order to create the screen, artwork needs to be supplied in vector format (eps or vector PDF) as each colour in the artwork is separated, and a different screen is created for each colour that is to be printed. This is why screen printing incurs a higher set-up cost than other printing techniques. Initially, the ink is mixed to the required Pantone colour reference and applied to the screen. Squeegees are used to push ink through the mesh of the screen and onto the garment. When printing onto dark coloured garments, a white layer or flash layer of ink is applied first, and then the coloured inks are applied on top of this to ensure an accurate Pantone colour match.
Embroidery
Embroidery is an excellent technique as it's great for all types of garments from corporate clothing, uniforms, workwear, and any other types of clothing that you can think of. From large organisations to small businesses, embroidery is the perfect way to customise your clothing and ensure that your brand name and logo is represented perfectly. The low cost of embroidery makes it ideal for start-up companies and large organisations with a large workforce. Embroidery is a great way to add durability to your logo.
DTG Printing
To produce DTF transfers, we use specialist ink with a large format CMYK printer. We print directly onto a coated material PET film. Once printed, the transfer is coated in a special adhesive powder, so it will adhere to any garment. The adhesive is then cured in a dryer to bond the adhesive to the DTF transfer, and it is then ready to go. The transfer can then be applied to any garment with a heat press, and also, no pre-treatment is required.
DTG Printing
We cater to various industries and occasions, including School Leavers, Ski Trips, College/Uni, Hen/Stag, Workwear, Clubs/Events, and Gifts. Our services are designed to provide high-quality products that meet the specific needs of each industry and occasion.
