Our work

Fresh off the press

A look at recent jobs from our workshop: band merch, streetwear labels, caps, patches and corporate branding.

How it works

Screen printing

Ink is pushed through a fine mesh stencil with a rubber blade called a squeegee, one colour at a time. It’s the go-to for bulk orders: a low cost per item, prints that last, and rich, vibrant colour.

From artwork to a print that lasts

01
Separate

Your design is split into its solid colours. Each colour gets its own screen.
02
Burn the screen

UV light hardens the emulsion around your artwork. The rest washes away, leaving an open stencil.
03
Line it up

Screens go onto a manual or automatic press and are registered so every colour lands exactly in place.
04
Pull the print

A squeegee pulls ink across the mesh, and it transfers cleanly onto the garment underneath.
05
Cure

Heat cures the ink in a conveyor dryer, so it’s permanent and wash-fast.

Know your options

The inks

Water-based: Soft, breathable feel on cotton
Plastisol: Heavy, opaque, the industry standard
Solvent: For plastics, metal and glass

The mesh

A screen is a fine woven mesh, counted in threads per centimetre. Fewer threads let more ink through.

How it works

Embroidery

Instead of printing ink onto a shirt, a machine stitches coloured thread straight into the fabric to build a raised, durable design.

Looks premiumA rich, textured finish. That’s why it’s on golf shirts, school uniforms and winter beanies.

Lasts and lastsThread doesn’t crack, peel or fade in the wash. It usually outlasts the garment.

From artwork to stitched detail

01
Digitise & sample

Your artwork becomes a stitch file. We choose thread colours and stitch a sample to check the detail.
02
Hoop & set up

The garment is hooped with stabiliser, lined up, and the stitch file is loaded onto the machine.
03
Stitch

The machine stitches the design one colour at a time, following the digitised paths.
04
Finish & check

Loose threads and backing are trimmed, and every piece is checked before packing.
