Our Process

Your design can come from three sources:

Website Design: Choose a design from our website gallery and we will customize it to your needs.

Design Your Own: Choose & customize a design from our design your own range.

Custom Design Brief: Create a brief for our in-house designers to follow.

After the concept is ready, your account manager will send it to you for final approval or changes if required. If you have concerns about colours, positioning, or logo sizes, we can create a flat sample panel for you to review before final printing and production.

Once your final approval & order is ready to go, we’ll prepare the print files required for production.

Our high-speed printers are much faster than traditional dye sublimation printers. These advanced printers allow us to print large volumes accurately and quickly, helping us meet our deadlines.

Contrary to what many believe, dye sublimation printers do not print directly onto fabric. Instead, the artwork is printed onto dye sublimation paper (we will explain how the printed paper is transferred to the fabric in the heat press section).

Our print room is a controlled environment 24/7. This specific condition is essential for the inks to be absorbed efficiently into the paper. We regularly monitor the temperature and humidity to maintain optimal conditions

For fabric cutting, we use a state-of-the-art 11-metre cutting machine, which cuts fabric very accurately and allows us to cut large volumes of garments per day. This is crucial for meeting our turnaround times.

The patternmaking software is linked to the cutting machine, which allows us to easily cut the garments required & also minimise fabric waste. we have a wide range of tried-and-tested patterns that fit all shapes and sizes.

The fabric cutting happens simultaneously with the printing of your order so that both are ready for the next step: the heat press.

The Heat Press is where the printed sublimation paper & fabric panels come together & the garment starts to come to life.

The printed sublimation paper roll is loaded on & then feed into the Heat Press, which is set at 205 degrees Celsius (this is the optimum temp for the paper & fabric we use). Simultaneously the fabric panels are then laid on top of the printed sublimation paper & under pressure/heat, the ink is transferred into the polyester fabric.

The next step in the process is Sewing the garment together.

Although technology has come a long way over the years, the sewing of garments is still a very tedious & labour intensive process. We have invested in sewing equipment that will help us complete the work as time efficient as possible, while also ensuring a high quality finish.

Our team of sewers are very experienced & been sewing/working in the industry on average for 30 years each.

This final process involves a few keys areas;

• Trimming – all loose threads are removed from the garment.
• Quality Control – all garments are inspected to ensure these meet our quality standards.
• Pressing – all garments are steam pressed to ensure the finished product is presented to the highest possible standard.
• Bagging – the garments are then folded, bagged, counted & then ready to be dispatched

Once complete you will be contacted to arrange payment, pick-up &/or delivery requirements.
