DETAILS ON THE BRANDING OPTIONS

EMBROIDERY

Embroidery pricing is based on stitch count, therefore the larger the embroidery the higher
the cost. There is also a set up charge to transfer your artwork for embroidery.

your artwork. If the exact colour is not available we will suggest a ‘best match’.

SCREEN PRINTING

We offer traditional screen printing using a transfer method of application. We can offer up to 4 -5 colour prints.

Screen printing is the best branding method for large runs.

The normal screen size is 450mm x 550mm. For special jobs the size can be extended to
700mm x 500mm. There is an extra cost for the larger size.

SCREEN PRINTED TRANSFERS & DIGITALLY PRINTED TRANSFERS

This transfer utilizes a hi-resolution image in multiple colours and produces a print which can have shading, fine detail and many different colours.

COMPUTER CUT TEXT & IMAGES

One colour digitally cut vinyl ensures sharp image reproduction.

Uses include numbers and names on the back of sports tees and singlets, one colour images
on small runs of garments. There are a limited number of colours available.
