The right print for the right job.
Not every logo, garment or application is the same. That’s why we offer different printing methods, each suited to different designs, fabrics, quantities and finishes.
Whether you need a bold logo across the back of a T-shirt, a detailed full-colour design or consistent branding across hundreds of garments, we’ll help you choose the method that gives you the best result.
You don’t need to know your DTG from your DTF. That’s our job.
Screen Printing
Bold, durable and ideal for larger quantities.
Screen printing is a tried-and-tested method that applies ink directly onto the garment through a specially prepared screen.
It produces strong, vibrant colours and a highly durable finish, making it particularly effective for bold logos and designs that need to stand up to regular use.
When does screen printing work best?
Larger orders: Once the screens have been prepared, screen printing becomes particularly cost-effective for higher quantities.
Bold designs: It's excellent for strong graphics, logos and designs using solid colours.
Durability: Screen-printed designs are made to withstand regular wear and washing.
Strong colour: The process can produce vibrant, opaque colours that stand out particularly well on workwear.
When might we recommend something else?
Screen printing requires more preparation than digital methods, so it isn't always the most economical option for very small quantities.
Highly detailed artwork, photographic images, fine gradients or designs containing lots of colours may also be better suited to one of our digital printing methods.
If that's the case, we'll tell you.
Direct-to-Garment Printing (DTG)
Detailed, full-colour printing directly onto the garment.
Direct-to-Garment, or DTG, works much like a highly sophisticated inkjet printer, applying your design directly onto the fabric.
It allows us to reproduce detailed, full-colour artwork and subtle gradients that would be difficult to achieve using more traditional printing methods.
When does DTG work best?
Detailed artwork: DTG is particularly good at reproducing intricate designs, fine detail and photographic images.
Full colour: It can reproduce a broad range of colours and gradients without requiring separate screens for each colour.
Smaller quantities: With less setup required, DTG can be a good choice for smaller and medium-sized orders.
A softer finish: Because the ink is applied directly to the fabric, DTG can produce a softer feel than some transfer-based methods.
When might we recommend something else?
DTG generally performs best on cotton and cotton-rich garments. The fabric, garment colour and intended use can all influence the finished result.
For some workwear fabrics, larger quantities or particular applications, another printing method may give you a better result.
Again, we'll advise you.
Direct To Film (DTF) Printing
Versatile, detailed and suitable for a wide range of garments.
Direct-to-Film, or DTF, allows detailed artwork to be printed onto a specialist film before being transferred to the garment using heat.
One of its biggest advantages is versatility. It works across a wide range of fabrics and can reproduce detailed, colourful designs with a clean, consistent finish.
When does DTF work best?
Different fabrics: DTF can work across cotton, polyester, blends and many of the technical fabrics commonly used in modern workwear.
Detailed designs: Fine lines, small text and more complex artwork can reproduce particularly well.
Full-colour branding: It's a strong option for colourful logos and designs requiring multiple colours.
Small and medium-sized orders: DTF can offer an efficient way of producing high-quality branded clothing without the setup requirements of screen printing.
When might we recommend something else?
DTF creates a transferred layer on top of the fabric, so it has a different feel from embroidery, screen printing or DTG.
For very large quantities, simpler designs or garments where a different finish would better complement your brand, we may recommend another method.
Not sure which one you need?
You shouldn't have to become a printing expert to order great workwear.
Tell us what you want to achieve, show us your artwork and let us know how the clothing will be used. We'll consider the garment, fabric, design, colours, quantity and finish you're looking for, then recommend the approach that makes the most sense.
Sometimes that's screen printing. Sometimes it's DTG or DTF. And sometimes we'll tell you that your logo would simply look better embroidered.
Because the method matters less than getting your brand looking right.
