We want your company logo to look great, no matter what promotional product you require. Many of our suppliers offer full decoration services however on occasion due to time sensitivity or the nature of your product we also offer the following embellishment services:
EMBROIDERY
Embroidery is done using advanced software and high-tech machinery. The following takes place to create embroidered promotional products that will have a raised textured appearance on your product.
Step One: A design, logo, or any other artwork is scanned and loaded onto a computer.
Step Two: An operator presses a frame around the imprint area and inserts the fabric under the needle in the machine.
Step Three: A mechanized needle goes across the material at a rapid pace, putting each stitch into place.
Step Four: Each thread color is stitched individually until the logo or design is complete.
Step Five: A technician snips off any excess thread and checks for inconsistencies in the embroidered design.
Step Six: The end result is a raised, textured look.
SCREEN PRINTING
Screen printing is the process of transferring a digitized design onto a flat surface using a mesh screen, ink and
a squeegee. Fabric and paper are the most commonly screen-printed surfaces, but with specialized inks it’s also possible to print onto wood, metal, plastic, and even glass. The basic method involves creating a stencil on a fine mesh screen, and then pushing ink (or paint, in the case of artwork and posters) through to create an imprint of your design on the surface beneath.
Designs made using the screen printing technique may use just one shade of ink, or several. In the case of multicoloured items, the colours must be applied in individual layers, using separate stencils for each ink.
Typically screen printed logos are costed based on size and the number of colours.
HEAT TRANSFERS
Heat transfer printing is a newer decoration method, but it’s come a long way from the iron-on decals of old. With heat transfer, also known as digital transfer, your custom logo or design is printed onto transfer paper and then ink is thermally transferred from the paper to your fabric using heat and pressure.
The benefits of Heat Transfer branding are as follows:
Minimal setup costs and equipment make heat transfers ideal for smaller order sizes.
Affordable individually personalized decoration, such as sports uniforms.
Allows for finer details and smaller text than embroidery.
Heat transfer is available in many different finishes and styles.
