FAQ'S

CAN I SUPPLY MY OWN GARMENTS TO BE PRINTED?

Yes, you can supply your own garments.  We will however reserve the right to not print a garment if it’s made from unsuitable fabric or it’s an unsuitable style.

Please note that while every care is taken to supply a full print job with no 'seconds' it is advisable to supply a few more t-shirts in case of any errors.

HOW CAN I ACHIEVE A SOFT-FEEL PRINT?

Soft feel printing is the most requested method of printing in recent times. We have perfected this form using specialty inks such as discharge and also solvent free water based inks.  Soft feel is achievable on both dark and light coloured t-shirts and because of its technical requirements is charged at a higher price.

Minimum runs assist in allowing us to cover set up times but also assist you in covering your set up costs.

TOOLS FOR NEW DESIGNERS

CHECKLIST

• Budget: know your limitations and be realistic. Knowing your target market will allow you to understand your pricing structure. This will define the production process.

• Know your range: by having a clear view of your range in mind, it will make the production process easier for you. Have your samples or trade sketches ready for the first consultation.

• Range development: an extremely variable process, costs can fall between $3000 to $10000. Investigate all aspects of production; what do you require for the complete production of your garments? I.e. pattern making, printing, complex cutting etc. and factor these into your budget and schedule

• Production efficiency: be thorough by ensuring you have supplied all the correct quantities of fabrics and accessories your garment requires i.e. buttons, zips and care labels. Mark all “wrong sides” of garment panels with tape and size breakdown if you are cutting your own fabric.
