Services
Screen Printing
Our screen printing service delivers bold, durable prints for t-shirts, hoodies, and workwear. Ideal for large-volume orders, we use high-quality inks and precise colour matching to ensure vibrant results. Clients benefit from cost-effective solutions for events, uniforms, and promotional campaigns. With in-house production, we maintain strict quality control and offer fast turnaround times, including express options for urgent needs.
Custom Embroidery
We provide premium embroidery services for polos, caps, hoodies, and uniforms. Our digitisation process ensures sharp, long-lasting designs with thread colour matching to brand guidelines. Perfect for corporate branding or schoolwear, embroidery adds a professional finish that withstands repeated washing. Clients receive layout proofs and stitch previews to guarantee accuracy before production begins.
DTG Printing
Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing allows full-colour, detailed designs on cotton garments without minimum order requirements. This eco-friendly method produces soft, breathable prints ideal for small batches or one-off items. We handle artwork preparation and offer garment advice to ensure optimal results, making it a popular choice for creatives and small businesses.
DTF Printing
DTF printing creates vibrant, stretch-resistant transfers suitable for cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics. This versatile technique works for complex logos and low-quantity runs, avoiding the costs of screen setup. Transfers can be stored and applied later, offering flexibility for multi-garment branding projects or staged deliveries.
Contract Printing
Our contract printing supports resellers and brands with scalable solutions across DTG, DTF, screen printing, and embroidery. We handle bulk orders from 20 to 20,000+ units, including finishing services like relabelling and packaging. Clients benefit from consistent quality, fast lead times, and confidential white-label fulfilment tailored to their brand requirements.
