DECORATION OPTIONS

SUPACOLOUR TRANSFER

What is SupaColour: SupaColour is a relatively new and effective way of decorating promotional products and apparel based on the traditional process of a heat applied transfer. By combining the quality of traditional silkscreen techniques with the flexibility and convenience of digital printing this innovative technology allows for a streamlined process of creative customization of textiles with premium-quality printing and unrivalled durability.

Advantages:

Can be applied to a wide range of fabrics.
Ideal for producing full colour, complex images as well as approximate spot colour branding.
High definition, vibrant matt finish artwork that is suitable on a range of garment fabrics.
SupaColour is eco-friendly, created from water-based inks without harsh or toxic chemicals.
Durable, flexible branding for apparel that is machine washable with a soft-touch matt finish.
Only one set up charge is required regardless of the number of print colours.

Limitations:

Neon/fluorescent colours cannot be reproduced.
Does not transfer well to garments with waterproof coatings.

Summary: Vibrant Colours, versatility to transfer to almost any material, allow for fine details with no weeding, low cost for high-quality vivid colour printing, resolution no other process can match.

EMBROIDERY

What is Embroidery: With embroidery, the logo is reproduced by stitching threads directly into fabric. In this digital age, this is fully automatic and is done using advanced software and high-tech machinery. The pricing depends on the number of stitches in your logo.

Advantages:

Embroidery is a classic and classy way to customize your workwear, corporate apparel, and other promotional items. The result is a clean look that makes your logo tangible.
Unlike paint or ink, embroidery doesn’t fade.
If you’re washing it repeatedly, it is likely to hold up better than a screen-printed piece of clothing.
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.
Metallic embroidery colours may cost extra.

Summary: Embroidery can be applied to most garments, from polos and caps to corporate shirts and suits. In general, embroidery is cheaper for pocket-size logos, particularly for smaller quantities (less than 100 garments). It’s a great, long-lasting option for small areas of decoration on apparel.

SCREEN PRINT

What is Screen Printing: With screen printing, your logo is reproduced by squeezing inks through mesh screens directly onto a substrate. What’s a substrate? Basically, anything that can accept and hold the ink. For example, T-shirts, canvas tote bags, pens, yard signs, mugs, and many more. A separate mesh screen is required for each colour in your logo so designs with many colours cost more than simple one colour designs.

Advantages:

Screen printing can be less expensive than embroidery, especially larger logos as the embroidery can take tens of thousands of stitches to create.
And, unlike embroidery, screen printing can be used with lots of materials.
Close PMS matches are possible on white or light-coloured 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.
Each colour requires its own setup charge.

Summary: Versatile, durable, cost-efficient while remaining high quality. It’s an oldie but a goodie.
