SCREEN PRINTING & HEAT TRANSFER

Screen printing is the heart of what we do. From bold, one-colour logos to vibrant, full-colour masterpieces, we bring designs to life with precision and flair. Our team uses specialized tools and years of experience to ensure every colour layer comes together for a crisp, clean image that truly pops.

We don’t cut corners; every piece is checked for sharp detail and colour consistency. Thanks to our premium, long-lasting inks, your design won't peel or fade—it'll typically outlive the garment it's printed on. We also commit to using environmentally friendly inks and sustainable practices.

For projects not suited for traditional printing, we offer heat transfer decoration. This is a versatile and durable solution that's ideal for one-off t-shirts, small orders, or specialty items like jackets and bags. This method delivers vibrant results and allows us to print on a wider range of materials.

Whether you need 20 tees for an event or thousands for a major campaign, or if you just need a few custom pieces, we are equipped to handle it all. We also offer a wide selection of garments and are happy to make suggestions to fit your style and budget. Unsure which decoration method is best? Our knowledgeable crew is here to advise on the perfect route for your specific project.
