Print transfer is applying a design onto fabric using heat and pressure with special transfer paper. Suitable for: T shirts, Hoodies, Vests, Hi Visibility vest, Tote bag.

Machine embroidery is the process of stitching designs, logos, or text onto fabric using a specialised embroidery machine. Embroidery is one of the highest quality ways to present a design, especially suitable for premium textiles like polos, jackets, beanies and baseball caps.

Woven labels are made from threads woven together on a loom to form a design, offering a soft, durable, and detailed finish. This weaving process allows for intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and high-definition detail, making them ideal for branding in clothing, accessories and textiles.

Silicone patches are made from flexible, rubber-like silicone that gives them a soft, durable, and high-quality feel. They offer a stylish 3D appearance and can be customised in various colours and shapes to perfectly match your brand. Completely waterproof, making them perfect for the outdoors & withstanding the elements.

Leather patches are stylish additions made from real or faux leather, offering a classic, rugged, and premium look. Often used on hats, jackets, aprons and bags, they add character and durability to your favourite items. Leather patches are a great way to showcase logos, designs, or personal flair with a timeless, handcrafted feel.

Dye sublimation printing is a process that uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as water bottles, mugs, bags, pens, notebooks, travel cups, and disposable cups. This technique produces vibrant, long-lasting, and high-resolution prints by turning the dye into gas and bonding it with the material’s surface. It’s especially popular for customised promotional products, ensuring sharp, full-color images that won’t easily fade or scratch.
