EMBROIDERY

Embroidery is both hardwearing and versatile, creating a high quality and ​premium-finished product. Embroidery is our go-to process where possible on ​hoodies, polo shirts, jackets, caps, visors, and beanies.

Embroidery is perfect for a high-end retail finish for merchandise and workwear ​alike - giving garments a higher perceived value and an embellishment lasting the ​lifetime of the garment. Embroidery is often cheaper than printing as its costs are ​determined by the number of stitches in a design, and not the number of colours.

We boast state of the art eight-headed embroidery (producing 8 garments/logos ​at a time) that feature the latest automated technology and up to 15 colours per ​design. We adopt Polyester threads (predominantly) that are harder wearing and ​colourfast beyond cotton thresholds.

To achieve embroidery, all artworks must be digitized into an embroidery format. ​Digitizing is key to the process as the better the digitizing, the better the output.

All new confirmed orders for embroidery are sampled prior to production, for your ​approval, so nothing is produced blindly until you’re 100% happy with the design, ​size and detail achieved.

Full Colour Printing

Full Colour Printing or Supacolour is a technical print process which adopts a hybrid of water-based and digital ​inks to create full colour prints that are both crisp and vibrant. This method is perfect for detailed designs going ​onto polyester materials and other fabric types that can’t be achieved with screen printing. Perfect for Hi-Vis ​workwear also.

The best part about Supacolour is;

• there are no set up costs! with the process
  
• and minimums of just 10 prints.
  

A vector (master) file (editable artwork) of your logo is required so we can change colours and resize the design ​(as required) to a dpi resolution of 300 or higher - often embedded within a .pdf from your graphic designers.

Don’t worry if you don’t have this kind of file (if you have used Canva for example) as we have the expertise to ​help guide you – just send us your design and we’ll provide a quote for its creation (re-draw) into editable ​master vector format. .jpeg and .png are not editable file types as they are images (editable files contain ​objects, not images). Most designs re-draw fees are as little as $55+gst (and you also get the vector file by e-​mail once your order is complete and paid).

The minimum order quantity for Supacolour prints is 10 units per size – if you don’t need 10 garments, we’ll just ​keep the pre-paid prints that are leftover for any future orders you make with us, and next time round you pay ​for just the garments.

Prices are determined by the coverage area of the print (not the number of colours - so is a perfect alternative to ​screen printing) Size variables: up to 60mm x 60mm, 100mm x 100mm, A5, A4, and A3 (42cm x 30cm). ​Price point breaks: 10-19, 20-49, and 50-99 up to 750+.

Supacolour prints are wash tested to 70+ washes before some degradation can be seen (based on manufacturers tests, under ​scientific laboratory analysis examination) under a microscope and not visible to the naked eye. We have our own prints and ​customers where the print is like new well over 150+ washes/3+ years of use.
