Dye-Sub Printing
Our digital sublimation process creates vibrant, wrinkle-resistant prints on polyester fabrics up to 124 inches wide. This method produces machine-washable banners ideal for tradeshows, retail environments, and event marketing. The chemical bonding of ink to fabric ensures long-lasting color vibrancy and durability through repeated use and washing cycles.
Screen Printing
Traditional screen printing delivers durable, cost-effective results on cotton, nylon, and rayon substrates. Our 58x68-inch printing capacity handles both small and large-volume orders with optional multi-screen configurations for complex designs. This technique excels with high-ink-coverage projects and specialty applications like puff inks and pigment finishes.
Fabric Banners
Custom fabric banners produced through digital sublimation or screen printing offer versatile branding solutions. Available in 25+ polyester options with transparent or blockout backing, these banners serve retail displays, sports events, and architectural installations. We provide full lifecycle support from design to finished installation-ready graphics.
Laser Cutting
Precision laser cutting with optical registration creates complex shapes up to 58 inches wide. This sealed-edge technology handles continuous 300-yard runs at 12 inches per second, eliminating fraying while maintaining intricate design details. Ideal for custom SEG (Silicone Edge Graphics) and specialty display components.
Foil Application
Our Foil-On process embeds metallic accents using water-based adhesive and heat-pressed foils. Available in 12 standard colors including gold, silver, and holographic patterns, this enhancement elevates table runners, athletic apparel, and exhibition graphics. Capable of applying foil to 60-wide textiles at production speeds exceeding 5,000 yards daily.
