SCREEN PRINTING
This is the most common method of putting graphics on clothing. It involves
making a screen for each color in a design and then the screens are put into a press. A different color ink is added to each screen and then printed through the mesh of the screen and onto the garment. After being printed, the garments are run through a conveyer dryer, which cures the ink permanently.
There are many ways to apply a design to clothing with this method. There are
special inks that feel like leather or rubber, inks that involve glitter, inks that
puff-up when dried, and the list goes on. Ask one of our customer service professionals about the best way to handle your design.

EMBROIDERY
Stitching designs with needles and thread is what embroidery is all about. Of course we don't sit and embroider by hand, we have state of the art embroidery machines that sew out designs on hats, jackets, bags, leather goods, and anthing else that you can get a needle through.
When a customer gives us their design or logo, we have to digitize it, which means turning it into a stitch file that the machines can read. Once the design is created, we send the file to the machines, the garments are hooped and loaded into the machines and the design is sewn. We have metallic threads, glow-in-the-dark threads, and hundreds of different. There are many options for embroidery so be sure to ask us about them when you call.

SUBLIMATION DYE
Sublimation Dye is a process that we use to dye an image directly into a particular product, such as mugs, mousepads, ceramic tiles, and clothing. This process can only be applied to products with a polymer coating and 100% polyester fabrics. When the process is done on clothing, it must be a light color because the dyed image is not opaque, so if it were done on a black fabric the design would not show up at all. That is why the ceramic mugs that we produce are a standard white color, (colored mugs are provided through a different process). This is a great way to put logos on bicycle shirts, compression shirts, and other unique fabrics because it allows the garment to breathe and you can't even feel the print.

RHINESTONES
Rhinestones are an impressive way to accent clothing, accessories, and other products to give that high-end look that gets attention. We use either Swarovski crystal rhinestones, which are the most expensive but also have the best clarity and sparkle, and we have our standard rhinestones that still have the shiny look but are not as clear and reflective as the Swarovski stones. The standard rhinestones are used on most projects because many customers are looking to produce a fairly cost effective piece of clothing and are on a fixed budget. The stones can be used just to dot the "i" in a word or you can create an entir design out of the stones, it's entirely up to the customer.

DIGITAL PRINTING
Digital printing is the latest thing to hit our industry. We can take your logo and print it directly onto shirts without having to worry about color separations or making physical screens for your artwork, which drastically reduces the setup costs. It is much more expensive for the inks and the production is not as fast so it is a more expensive option. This method is great for putting photographs onto shirts because the resolution is like a regular computer printer. If you have a design that has six colors and you only want 12 shirts printed, this is the perfect option for you because you don't have to pay for the art and screens that are used with screen printing. Be sure to ask us about the best method of reproducing your designs.

FOILING
Foiling is a popular process where you screen print a design onto a piece of clothing and then foiling is applied on top of the ink once it is dried. The shirt with the foil on top is put in a heat press and the foil adheres to all of the places where the screen printed ink covered. We have gold, silver, red, blue, and a rainbow metallic foil that can be applied to any screen printed design. This process is used widely in the fashion industry and always gets attention.
