Screen
PRINTING
Screen printing produces excellent quality and is a very popular method for producing personalized garments with long-lasting results. It's a great value for large volume orders from 24 to 20,000.
It’s better suited to artwork with spot colors as opposed to photographs or full color prints with gradients.
A separate screen is required for each color in the design, so, the fewer colors in your design, the less it costs to print. Sometimes, when printing onto colored garments a base layer is required to ensure the print is bright and vibrant.
D T G
PRINTING
Direct to Garment (DTG) printing is a relatively new technology which is excellent for accurately reproducing photos, illustrations and intricate full color designs.
DTG printing produces best print results on t-shirts and garments with 100% cotton content. Using DTG printing for items with a high polyester content is possible, but depending on the garment, results may vary.
The advantage of DTG printing when compared to screen printing is the faster turnaround time and low set up costs, which makes it a more cost effective solution when printing low volume runs (up to 100). Especially when a design that features a number of different colors is required.
The main disadvantages of DTG printing are that it’s not possible to match pantone PMS colors and the prints are not quite as vibrant when compared to those seen with screen printing where the ink adheres to the fabric.

Embroidery
Embroidery is durable, versatile and offers a unique and professional finish;
it is an ideal alternative to printing especially for uniform and work wear when garments are intended to be used in an industrial setting or for bespoke promotional wear that you want to give a personal touch.
The embroidery techniques that we use are quick and clean, thanks to modern digital intervention. We are now able to ‘digitize’ artwork and designs which means they can be kept on file to be used again and again should extra orders be needed.
The cost of embroidery, whether for embroidered work wear, corporate clothing, embroidered polo shirts or a custom embroidery project, is subject to the number of stitches in the design; so the denser the design the more expensive it will be.
