How We DO IT

We offer several decoration methods to brand your apparel, as specialists we work with the best products and materials that make your logo, slogan, and/or design stand out. We are here to work with you on choosing the right medium that represents your brand strategy, works with the type of garment/accessory, and is within your budget. We have experience with several types of mediums, outsourced and in-house, we will always recommend what we feel will work the best for your type of order.

Embroidery

Embroidery is a long lasting decoration method, using thread to build your logo on a garment. This process is suitable for higher end apparel and works for logos with several colours which otherwise would cost a fortune for print. Spiff up your logo for your everyday apparel, work uniforms, sport shirts, jackets, and other delicate and/or high end items.

ELEMENTS OF EMBROIDERY

DIGITIZING

Before we can move forward with embroidering a design or logo, we need to have the image converted to thread. This tells our machine what to do, how many stitches, and where to move. There is a fee for this service but it is only one time per logo. If you have had embroidery done in the past you may have your logo on file where we would waive the fee. Our digitizing services are of the highest quality, offering unlimited edits to your logo to make sure it fits just right on every item.

SPECIALTY THREAD

Metallic thread is another option that really accentuates a logo or design. This is to create that shimmering effect that gives it full dimension on products, use it on regular surfaces in in conjunction with puff. Fire Retardant thread is something we use to embroidery on fire retardant clothing. This allows for us to still brand your apparel and not affect the integrity of the CSA rating. We recommend this on all fire resistant/retardant and flame-resistant garments.

Heat Transfer Vinyl

Heat Transfer vinyl is great for small to large orders that are 1 to 2 colours. This process avoids any set up fees and allows for multiple different locations and works great for larger sized designs. This is a great way to wear apparel and accessories with multiple messages in several locations. This is done by taking your customized artwork and applying heat to secure the vinyl onto your material of choice.

WHERE IS IT BEST USED:

Heat Transfer Vinyl is another beautiful in-house decoration method that we offer. This is great for those simple solid designs. We work with several types of vinyl for specific applications such as stretchy vinyl for polyester, thick film vinyl for athletic knit and sport jerseys, and vinyl’s that adhere better in lower heat at less time to reduce heat applied to the item.

Benefits of HTV

There are several benefits to choosing vinyl:

No minimum orders or set up fees
Designs are sized specifically to the size of the garment (XS will be much smaller than 5XL)
Locations are limitless, HTV can be applied to any part of the garment or item
HTV is clean, easy to maintain and versatile

Screen Printing

We offer custom screen printing for everyday apparel and accessories, up to 4 colours. We use plastisol ink on no bleed fabrics that are cotton, cotton-poly blends, ring spun cotton, and full polyester materials. Screen Printing gives you a chance to use multiple colours on light and dark clothing, higher quantities, at a lower cost.

WHERE IS IT BEST USED:

Screen Printing is great for multi-coloured designs and/or distressed looks. This is a very cost effective solution for large quantities and bulk orders, the more items you have the less it will cost per item. Screen Printing is a plastisol ink applied through a mesh screen and sealed with heat. We partner with local screen printers that specialize in this method to bring you the best quality possible at the best price. Our suppliers are dedicated and experienced screen printers that operate large facilities to handle the demand of our industry.

SPECIALTY EMBELLISHMENT

There are several ways to enhance your brand, whether through 3D embellishments, full colour transfers, embossed/debossed, laser etched, or other imprint methods, we offer it. Ask us how we can make your logo/design pop.

WHERE IS IT BEST USED:

Full Colour Transfers

Our specialty transfers provide full color options that apply on both dark and light garments. If you have a design that has more than 4 colours, details, or gradients, this is likely the best option for you. You do not have to sacrifice on colour with full colour transfers. We offer several types of transfers that can apply to cotton, polyester, spandex, neoprene, nylon, and leather. There is no per colour fee, unlimited colours, and low minimums!

Heat Transfer Emblems & Patches

We offer a unique cutting edge look with versatile premium embossed patches. They are a great alternative to embroidery, including even some of the smallest details that are just unable to be embroidered. This could include a small tagline on a left chest logo. These are great for promotional hard goods, corporate wear, and even sport jerseys.
