Print-on-demand is a process in which products are not printed until an order has been received. Print-on-demand is often used for clothing, such as hoodies, jumpers, and sweatshirts. In the print-on-demand business model, there is no need to carry any inventory, as products are only printed once an order has been placed. This can help to save on storage costs, as well as reducing the risk of unsold inventory. This can also be a more environmentally-friendly option, as there is no need to print large quantities of items that may never be sold. Overall, print-on-demand is a flexible and convenient way to produce custom items without having to carry any inventory.
Our printing processes
Direct-to-Garment Printing
Direct-to-garment printing, is a process that allows for high-quality, full-colour prints on fabrics. Direct-to-garment printers use inkjet technology to print directly onto garments, making it a versatile and powerful tool for businesses in the fashion industry. One of the main benefits of direct-to-garment printing is that it allows for very intricate designs to be printed on fabric. Direct-to-garment printers can print at high resolutions, meaning that even the most complex designs can be reproduced with stunning detail.
Direct-to-Film Printing
Direct-to-film printing uses a film positive to transfer the design onto the garment. Direct-to-film printing has becoming increasingly popular for its ability to produce high-quality prints on a variety of different fabrics. Direct-to-film is an excellent choice for businesses or individuals looking for a way to create custom, high-quality prints on clothing or other textile products.
Sublimation Printing
Sublimation printing is a type of printing that uses heat to transfer ink onto a substrate. It is often used for fabric or other materials that cannot be easily printed using traditional methods. The ink is first printed onto a sheet of paper, and then the paper is placed on the substrate. The substrate is heated to a high temperature, which causes the ink to vaporize and transfer onto the substrate. Sublimation printing can produce high-quality results, but it is typically more expensive than other printing methods.
Heat Transfer Vinyl
Heat transfer vinyl is a type of heat transfer material that can be used to create designs on t-shirts, bags, and other textile items. The vinyl is cut into a design using a cutting machine, and then the design is transferred to the fabric using heat and pressure. Heat transfer printing is a quick and easy way to add custom designs to textile items. One of the benefits for choosing heat transfer, is the large variety of colours and finishes available.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink onto the material, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A squeegee is moved across the screen to push the ink through the holes in the mesh. One colour is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multi-coloured image or design. Due to the set up costs and messy nature of printing, this process is only suitable for larger orders.
