Stitched in.
Stands out.
Embroidery translates your design into stitches, creating a textured finish with a subtle sense of depth. It gives logos and lettering their own character.
The artwork, garment fabric and size all matter. We can discuss how your design will work in thread, including any fine details that may need a closer look.

A name.
A number.
A statement.
Heat transfer vinyl is cut to the shape of your design, then applied to the garment with a heat press. The result is a clearly defined design with strong, simple shapes.
It's a natural starting point for personalisation: a name across the back, a team number or a bold graphic. The right material depends on your design and clothing.

More colour.
More you.
DTF stands for direct-to-film. Your artwork is printed onto a transfer film and applied to the garment using heat, bringing multiple colours together in one design.
Detailed artwork, colour blends and expressive graphics are all good reasons to explore DTF. Share your design and we can talk about its suitability for your chosen clothing.
