What can we help you with?
SCREEN PRINTING
Screen printing is the most popular and versatile method used for decorating garments. It is a process that uses stencils to transfer specialized ink to a garment. This ink must then be heat set or "cured". This makes for a vibrant and long lasting print. there are many specialty inks and techniques that allow for extremely eye catching designs with a wide variety of "looks".
This is the perfect process for jobs that require larger quantities such as concerts, races, school events, or big corporate promotional campaigns but it works just as well to get a couple dozen shirts to celebrate a graduation, family reunion, or to get uniforms for a team.
EMBROIDERY
Embroidery is a process where a design is "digitized" or converted into a digital format that can be read and stitched out with specialized thread by a commercial embroidery machine.
Embroidery is instantly recognizable and perfect when you need a decidedly "high end" look. It's great for uniforms of all kinds, from office polos to mechanics work shirts. Also an excellent choice for decorating hats.
AD SPECIALTIES

Most commonly it is used to refer to promotional products used for advertising and marketing. This can include banners, and business cards to keychains, and pens with your company logo. It's also used in reference to souvenirs, personalized gifts, or unique items for retail. This huge variety of items can range from simple giveaway items to unique executive gifts.

​
EMBROIDERY and AD SPECIALTY Vector graphic files work for most applications. If you don't have vector art then you'll want to give us the clearest HIGH RESOLUTION image you can (300dpi or higher works best). If you don't know what that means or don't have that available..... no problem, plenty of great
designs have started scribbled on notebook paper or a crumpled napkin.
