Customization Methods

Screen printing is a popular decoration method that uses a squeegee to press ink through a fine mesh screen directly onto a product’s surface. A film of your design is created and applied to the screen, blocking off areas where ink shouldn't pass. Only the parts of the screen that match your design allow the ink through, transferring it precisely where it’s needed.

Each colour in the design is applied one at a time, meaning a separate screen is required for every colour. That’s why setup costs increase with multi-colour designs—more colours mean more screens and more preparation.

Laser engraving is a precision-based method that uses focused laser beams to burn away the top layer of a product’s surface, creating a clean and detailed design. This process is controlled digitally by a laser engraving machine, ensuring consistent results across each item.

We use two main types of lasers: YAG lasers and CO2 lasers. The choice of laser depends entirely on the material being engraved. YAG lasers are ideal for creating tonal effects that match the product’s original finish, while CO2 lasers are typically used for engraving on coated metal surfaces, such as pens. Both methods deliver a permanent, high-quality imprint that lasts the lifetime of the product.

Embroidery is a premium decoration method where your design is stitched directly onto a product using threads. After digitizing your artwork into a stitch pattern, the design is programmed into an embroidery machine, which sews the imprint using up to 12 thread colours. This method doesn't require screens, allowing for fast colour changes and efficient production. It’s a classic and stylish way to showcase logos on apparel, bags, and hats.

Direct-to-Garment or DTG printing is a digital printing technique where designs are printed directly onto a product using specialized printers and fabric-safe inks. Much like printing on paper, DTG printers jet full-colour ink directly into textile fibres, which are then heat-cured to ensure durability. The result is a high-resolution imprint with fine detail and vibrant colour.

Because the design is transferred digitally, DTG printing is ideal for rapid production and offers levels of detail and colour variation that are hard to achieve with traditional screen printing methods.

Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is a modern decoration technique that allows full-colour designs to be printed onto a special transfer film and then heat-pressed onto a garment. Unlike DTG or screen printing, the design is not applied directly to the fabric—instead, it’s transferred via film, making it more versatile and efficient across various materials.

DTF excels in capturing intricate designs and multi-colour graphics while requiring minimal setup, making it a popular option for small to mid-sized custom orders.

CMYK screen printing is a process that uses four ink colours—Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black)—to reproduce full-colour images and realistic artwork. Each colour is printed in layers using individual screens, with small dots of ink overlapping to create a wide spectrum of hues. This method is ideal for detailed, photographic designs and produces long-lasting imprints that hold up well over time.

Unlike traditional single-colour screen printing, CMYK allows for smooth gradients and multi-colour imagery, making it a strong choice for complex visuals.
