Services
Water-Based Screen Printing
Our water-based screen printing uses environmentally conscious inks that bond with fabric fibers for a soft, breathable finish. This method works best on cotton garments but adapts to various materials using specialized formulations. The process requires meticulous technique but produces durable, eco-friendly results without toxic waste.
Discharge Printing
Discharge printing removes fabric dye to create soft, permanent designs on dark cotton garments. This chemical process requires precise control to achieve consistent results but delivers unmatched comfort and longevity. We offer this service at no extra cost for qualified wholesale orders of 25+ garments.
Embroidery
Our 16-needle embroidery machines create intricate, durable designs on hats, polos, and apparel. This technique produces raised, textured logos and artwork with thread-count precision. Ideal for formal uniforms and premium branded merchandise requiring professional presentation and long-term wear.
Direct to Film
Direct-to-film technology transfers full-color digital designs onto garments without color limitations. This method excels for photographic images and complex gradients on various fabrics. Perfect for small runs or detailed artwork requiring digital accuracy without traditional screen setup costs.
Specialty Inks
We offer metallic, fluorescent, and puff ink effects to enhance visual impact. These specialty formulations create unique textures and light-reactive properties for eye-catching designs. Minimum order quantities apply due to specialized material requirements and application techniques.
