address, website URL, company name and marketing message.
Screen printing
In-House ServicesThe cheapest form of printing on clothing. When considering screen printing on clothing, please note that there are limitations in reproducing fine detail and colour registration because we are printing on flexible, coarse weave material. Sometimes logos must be simplified or altered to give better registration, and if this is the case you will be advised by Email or fax. Plastisol transfer is used when detail is too fine for screen printing.

Heat Transfer Printing (Sublimation)
In-House ServicesA process in which a design is transferred to a synthetic fabric by heat and pressure. The heat causes the inks to turn into a gas so that they penetrate the fabric and combine with it to form a permanent imprint.
Hot Stamping
Method is which type or designs in the form of a relief die are impressed with heat and pressure through metallic or pigmented foil onto the printed surface.It is used to decorate fabric, leather, paper, wood, hard rubber, coated metal and all types of plastic.Hot stamping is a “dry” imprinting process meaning the object can be handled immediate ly after the stamping without fear of smearing the imprint.
Laser Engraving
Laser EngravingA process in which an optically-read or stenciled art/copy is engraved (burned) into a material by a laser beam. Wood is the most common lasered material, but acrylic, some plastics, marble, leather and paper are also used. Metal requires specialized lasers.
Debossing
The image is depressed into a material such as paper, leather or suede, so the image sits below the product surface. Ink may or may not accompany the stamp (color stamping).
