Custom Branding
Screenprinting
Screen Printing is achieved by forcing ink through a fine mesh screen with a squeegee onto the product and is ideal for branding flat objects.
Advantages
-
Large print areas are possible on flat products.
-
Close PMS matches are possible on white or light-coloured products.
-
Most screen print inks dry quickly and can be shipped immediately after printing.
-
Fluorescent, metallic gold and silver inks are available on select textile products.
-
Many products can print with tight multi-colour registration, with some products able to be printed using up to five colours.
Limitations
-
Close PMS matches are more difficult on darker products and will only be approximate. In some instances, a white base will create a better print.
-
Unable to print variable data.
-
Each colour requires its own setup charge.
Artwork Requirements
-
Artwork must be supplied in editable vector format.
-
Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts.
Embroidery
Embroidery is an excellent way of branding bags, apparel, and other textile products. It offers higher perceived value and a depth of branding quality which other processes cannot match. Embroidery uses rayon thread which is stitched into the product and has a slightly raised effect.
Advantages
-
Only one setup charge applies per position for up to 12 thread colours.
Limitations
-
Only approximate PMS colour matches are possible - the threads to be used are chosen from those available to give the closest possible match.
-
Unable to print variable data such as individual naming unless agreed upon by our in-office team.
-
Metallic embroidery colours have special pricing.
Artwork Requirements
-
Vector artwork is preferred.
-
Fonts are advised to be converted to outlines/objects to avoid font conflicts.
-
We recommend avoiding fine detail - the minimum text heights for embroidered artworks are:
-
4.5mm for Sans Serif fonts
-
5.5mm for Serif fonts
-

Sublimation
Dye sublimation print is used for branding products that have a special coating on them, or fabrics suitable for the sublimation process. A transfer is produced by printing sublimation ink onto transfer paper and then heat pressing it onto the product.
Advantages
-
Sublimation ink is a dye so there is no ink build-up. The finished print is embedded in the product.
-
Ideal for producing vivid full colour images as well as closely matched spot colour branding.
-
Can print variable data including individual names.
-
Edge-to-edge branding can be achieved on some products.
-
Only one set up charge is required regardless of the number of print colours.
Limitations
-
Can only be used on suitable products with white surfaces.
-
Some colours cannot be reproduced including white, metallic, and neon/fluorescent colours.
-
Fine detail/text may experience minor colour bleed across adjacent design elements.
Artwork Requirements
-
Artwork can be supplied in either vector or bitmap format.
-
Supplied bitmaps must be higher than 300DPI resolution at the actual print size.
-
A 3mm bleed must be added to the artwork if it bleeds off the product.
