Printing Methods

We offer a wide range of printing methods to embellish your desired product. This page will detail the process and offer illustrations for each technique, along with their advantages and disadvantages, so that you can choose what's right for you.

Embroidery

Designs are meticulously digitized allowing for threads to be weaved into the garment, guaranteeing a durable and professional finish.

Advantages

  • Durable, unique and professional finish
  • Wash-resistant, maintains colour and consistency
  • Flexible, works for different garment types and locations

Drawbacks

  • Requires design to be digitized, resulting in an altered look. Design can never be 100% accurate, though providing a unique finish
  • Limited number of total colours, gradients would not turn out well
  • Larger designs can be expensive

Direct-to-Film Printing

Design is printed onto special film then applied directly onto the garment, resulting in vibrant colours and a finish that won't peel or crack.

Advantages

  • Design and colours will be near perfectly identical to the image file provided
  • Wash-resistant, maintains colour and consistency, won't peel or crack
  • High quality finish and vibrant colours

Drawbacks

  • Not as flexible in terms of garment options and materials, as process requires large amounts of heat and a flat surface
  • Not ideal for designs with gradient or fading edges, as design will cut off

  • Only available for light coloured garments (i.e. white, grey, beige, pink, etc.)
  • Not ideal for bulk orders, as print process is time-consuming

Leather Laser Engraving

Using laser engraving equipment, the design is cut with perfect
precision, allowing for complex designs and a unique finished product.

Advantages

  • Great for complex designs, as precision lasers provide unmatched accurate
  • Durable and lasting, as design is directly carved into the leather
  • Etched design provides a tactile and premium feel

Drawbacks

  • Limited colours due to the nature of the print process, usually resulting in a black print
