Embroidery: for pricing please call 01992 769777

Embroidery is suitable for runs of 12 units and over. We use the latest embroidery machines and specialise in embroidering on centre seam baseball caps as well as 'flat' garments. Embroidery is charged based on the number of stitches in a design not on the number of colours used. The set up charge is for creating your design in a computerized format and is therefore only charged the first time we set up a design.

Artwork required:
Letterhead, your own hand drawn design, website etc. Very easy!

Embroidery
Applique

Appliqué: for pricing please call 01992 769777

This is fabric embroidered and stitched to a garment around the outline of the design shape usually to save filling areas with stitches. This gives substantial savings in some cases on the embroidery cost but additional charges apply for laser cutting of your design.

Artwork required:
Letterhead, your own hand drawn design, website etc.

Silk Screen Printing: for pricing please call 01992 769777

This decoration method is suitable for runs of 50 units and over, from one colour print to full colour process print can be achieved cost effectively. Silk screens are produced, one for each separate colour within the design. Set up charges apply and will be advised upon sight of your artwork.

Artwork required:
Vectorized Illustrator EPS format to correct size with Pantone colour references.

Silk screen printing

Transfer Printing:
for pricing please call 01992 769777

This method is generally used for smaller runs such as stag or hen party personalised shirts, with or without photographs. It is a less expensive option for small runs than silk screen printing as there are no screen charges.

Artwork required:
Logos: Dependent on design - give us a call to discuss.
Text: Just contact us and choose one of our available fonts.
Photographs: Can be scanned and text added.

Digital Printing:
for pricing please call 01992 769777

This is a very new process that we are able to offer you. It combines the longevity of screen printing with the added bonus of not having to produce screens. This results in cheaper set up costs, so it is particularly useful for complicated, full colour designs including those with integrated full colour photographs.
