PRINTING

The artwork is printed using the newest technology, onto dye sublimating paper which we source from Europe. The inks we use are also sourced from Europe which is expensive but a high quality product.

The print room is a controlled environment and 24-hours a day 7-days a week needs to be kept at 23 degrees Celsius with 50% humidity; this exact environment is necessary for the inks to be absorbed in a timely and efficient manner into the paper.

HEAT PRESS

This is where the printed sublimation paper & fabric panels come together & the garment starts to come to life.

The sublimation paper roll is loaded on and then feed into the Heat Press, which is set at 210 degrees Celsius (this is the optimum temp for the paper & fabric we use). Simultaneously the fabric panels are then laid on top of the printed sublimation paper & under pressure/heat, the ink is transferred into the polyester fabric.

Once the fabric has passed though the press it is bundled up into sizes & then is ready to move onto the next step in the process which is sewing the garment together.

FINAL TOUCHES

Once the sewing is complete, the garments are then need to be finished off, ready for dispatch.

This process involves a few keys areas;

Trimming – all loose threads are removed from the garment.

Quality Control – all garments are inspected to ensure these meet our quality standards.

Pressing – all garments are pressed using an industrial steam press to ensure the finished product is presented to the highest possible standard.

Bagging – the garments are then folded, bagged, counted & then ready to be dispatched.
